3.56pm So South Africa finish with a lead of 27, which could prove to be decisive here. When the seventh wicket fell, South Africa's score was 179 but Jansen and Maharaj then added 38 for the eighth wicket to take South Africa into lead. Thakur picked up seven - his 7 for 61 are now the best bowling figures by an Indian bowler against South Africa. The Indian openers have been good so far in the series and the side will expect another good start from them, before the focus shifts to Pujara and Rahane.

Mohammed Shami to Olivier, no run, fuller and seaming in. Olivier looks to work it on the legside but misses and is hit on the pads. Shami appeals, confidently, but given not out. Then he asks his captain to review it. The bat is nowhere near the ball. The impact is on middle and leg but this was going down. India lose the review

Bhargav Sura: "This game is running away from India with every run added on the scoreboard. 26 runs lead and counting - anything over 50 runs will give South Africa a lot of confidence to target India to get them out within 200 runs again and win the game with ease."
