Prenolin: "Looking forward to seeing Jansen channel his frustration of getting out in the 90s into this 30-minute bowling session"

3.18pm After the ten-minute break, India officially have 30 minutes of batting to do. But the light might not last that long. But from 247 for 6 at the end of yesterday's play, South Africa have propelled themselves to 489 via Muthusamy (109) and Jansen (93). There are footmarks on either side of the pitch for South Africa's spinners to exploit, and with the light dying, who knows if it's spin from both ends? Join us in ten for India's reply.

Kuldeep Yadav to Jansen, OUT, chopped on!! Jansen can't believe his lack of luck. He attacked Kuldeep all day, but now falls to a bottom edge while being just seven short of what would've been a maiden Test hundred. Jansen is off into the distance already, but not before giving South Africa a huge score. Kuldeep angled it across, and bowled it on a length around sixth stump. Jansen transferred his weight back to try and guide the ball wide of slip, but ended up getting a bottom edge. Who knows Jansen would have succeeded had he instead chosen to swing for six?!

M Jansen b Kuldeep Yadav 93 (147m 91b 6x4 7x6) SR: 102.19

Will Jansen target Kuldeep - again?

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Maharaj, no run, swinging in, and landing on a full length on off. Blocked down the pitch by Maharaj

I'm surprised Jansen hasn't quickened up, given the fading light and the probable idea of India being forced to bat for five overs today.
