Yash: "It's unlikely to come to that, but the required lead for a follow-on is now 150, right?" --- That stays 200, it becomes 150 if the first day is washed out

Padmaraj: "I believe this collapse could be a good thing for getting a result."

Anu: "Tale of two days! Ordinary bowling on the first day by SA men and now ordinary batting by Ind men on day two. Match on!"

Mayank: "India have left around 40-50 runs in the field.360-370 would have been a comfortable enough cushion."

11.24am From 278 for 3, India have collapsed to 327 all out. Ngidi led the show with 6 for 71 - his second six-for at this venue - while Rabada supported him well by picking up three. The last pair, though, added 21 and that could be crucial if this happens to be a low-scoring Test.

Jansen to Bumrah, OUT, maiden Test wicket for Jansen. Short of length outside off, Bumrah looks to steer it square of the wicket but ends up hitting it to the right of third slip. Catching practice for Mulder, who dives and takes it with both hands
