Jay Bhandari: "These are all mind games, Virat didn't want SA to feel good of taking all 10 Indian wickets in an innings."

Siddharth bajaj: "If the light gets bad by 2pm daily, why cant we start an hour or two early? Seems overs will be missed today too looking at the light" -- Regulations followed for the first game of a World Test Championship fixture will apply for all games of the series. The rule can't be changed midway. Ah, cricket's tryst with rigidity. Can write a book about it.

2.43pm India have declared. Faf was calling for a helmet for Elgar short leg, knowing very well the session would've been extended by 30 minutes or so if these two continued to bat. With the light very murky, not sure South Africa wanted to come out immediately. Perhaps, Kohli sensed that and decided that's that. George Linde won't get a five-for in his first innings as a Test bowler. Upto South Africa's batsman to dictate if he'll get a second chance in the game. It's also tea. Join us in 20 minutes for the final session.

Linde to Yadav, OUT, keeper calls, keeper collects. Umesh goes for another mow to the leg side, the ball spins and bounces to take the top edge. This one was swirling in the air, Klaasen called loud and clear, ran back and pouched it as it came down. Good ball, excellent catch. Umesh's brief cameo is over.

Linde to Yadav, SIX, muscled over deep midwicket! Once again not to the pitch but if you're as strong as him, you may as well back yourself to hit it while looking for a declaration. The crowd has come to life!

Piedt to Ashwin, OUT, slider and looks like Ashwin is gone. At least Klaasen thinks that way. They're having a look. Quick glove work behind the stumps. Ashwin plays for the turn, there is none, slides on with the arm to beat the edge and Klaasen completes an excellent stump. Ashwin has to walk back. His back foot was on the line.
