South Africa vs India, 3rd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Costly drop!!

Wow, what a moment in the game!! India could have had Keegan Petersen but Pujara drops him at first slip. The worst part is that was a regulation chance. He just grassed it. Everyone's disappointed out there and understandably so. This game is slipping away fast.

India lose a review

This review was taken out of desperation. Rassie makes contact with the ground while attempting a drive and he misses the ball. There is a noise as a result and Kohli wants to see if there is some edge. Unfortunately, it's very inconclusive as the bat makes contact with the ground at the same time the ball goes past the bat. The batter gets the benefit of the doubt.

DRS drama

India had a very eventful day on the field before stumps with the ball tracker costing them a wicket. Ashwin, Kohli, KL had plenty to say to the host broadcasters as a result and they could be in trouble after the Test match. South Africa seized on that period and added more runs to their kitty to get closer to the target. Here's what Prakash to say on that.

Build up

The stage is set finally to determine the winner of this hard-fought series. And even at this point, we know that it can swing either way. But at the moment, South Africa are definitely the favourites. They played very well on day 3, first with the ball and then with the bat and now they need 111 more runs to complete victory. More importantly, they have 8 wickets in hand to get the job done.

India on the other hand have a huge task in hand. Once again, they will rely on their pace attack to stand up and deliver. It might be too much for them though unless they get rid of Keegan Petersen very early. Petersen and Temba Bavuma are clearly the key but do not discount the likes of Rassie van der Dussen and Kyle Verreynne. South Africa need just one fruitful partnership and India need one great spell in order to storm back into the contest.

Welcome to the live blog for this fourth day's play which is also going to be the final day of this series. Will South Africa go past the finish line as expected or will they crumble under pressure? Will we see one more twist in this remarkable tale? We will find out over the course of the first session.
