India vs South Africa 3rd Test Day 3, Highlights: Bumrah gets Elgar; South Africa 101/2 at stumps

Day 3 Session 3 | 101 runs | 2 wickets

Bumrah to Elgar | OUT! | Stumps on Day 3

Jasprit Bumrah gets prized wicket of Dean Elgar (30) towards the end of the day. Caught down the leg side by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. The original decision from the umpire was not out. Skipper Virat Kohli takes the review and is successful. A resilient knock from Elgar comes to an end. And that will also be stumps on Day 3. A solid session for South Africa in this chase of 212. They lost the wicket of opener Aiden Markram early but after that skipper Elgar and Keegan Petersen batted superbly. South Africa reach 101 for two at close of play on the third day, needing another 111 runs with 8 wickets in hand. India, on the other hand, started really well released the foot off the accelerator towards the end. However, Bumrah has now got the big fish Elgar in the final over and this means we are up for an enthralling day of cricket tomorrow. Petersen remains unbeaten on 48.

100 up for South Africa in chase of 212

Keegan Petersen 48* | Dean Elgar 30* | Need another 111 runs to win

Ashwin to Petersen | FOUR! FOUR!

Keegan Petersen is looking in total control at the moment. A reverse-sweep followed by a cracking punch off the backfoot. Petersen is putting R Ashwin under a lot of pressure here. He moves to 40. SA 93/1 after 26.3 overs

Bumrah to Petersen | FOUR!

A sloid punch off the backfoot from Keegan Petersen and the ball races to the cover-point fence. Marginally short outside off from Jasprit Bumrah. Petersen stands tall and times the ball to perfection. Runs coming nice and easy for South Africa at the moment. SA 78/1 after 24 overs

Shardul to Petersen | FOUR!

Short and wide outside off from Shardul Thakur and Keegan Petersen slaps it to the point fence. A cracking shot from Petersen! SA 70/1 after 21.5 overs

Ashwin to Elgar | Given OUT! LBW| Elgar reviews and survives!

Huge moment in the game for both the teams as Dean Elgar (22*) survives an lbw call with the help of a review. R Ashwin traps Elgar right in front and it looked absolutely out. But ball-tracking shows something else. The trajectory shows that the ball is going over the stumps. Virat Kohli and co. cannot believe it. Elgar survives yet again! South Africa also retain the review! SA 60/1 after 20.4 overs

Elgar gets lucky again!

FOUR! A teasing delivery just outside off from Shardul Thakur and Dean Elgar goes for the expansive drive. The ball moves just enough after pitching and takes the outside edge of Elgar's bat. It once again falls in front of Cheteshwar Pujara at first slip. This time it goes to the third-man fence as well. SA 57/1 after 18 overs

50 up for South Africa in 212 chase

FOUR! Keegan Petersen welcomes R Ashwin into the attack with a lovely boundary through sweeper cover. What a shot that was from Petersen. 50 also comes up for South Africa with that boundary! SA 53/1 after 16.1 overs

Double bowling change for India

A six-over burst from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami at the start and now Umesh Yadav and Shardul Thakur have replaced them at both the ends. Dean Elgar and Keegan Petersen continue to dig in for South Africa. SA 43/1 after 13 overs

Bumrah to Elgar | FOUR!

Edged but Dean Elgar was in control of that. A full-length away-swinger from Jasprit Bumrah and Elgar runs it through between the third slip and gully fielder to the third-man fence. SA 35/1after 10.1 overs

Bumrah on song| Elgar gets lucky!

A cracker of a delivery from Jasprit Bumrah to Dean Elgar from around the wicket. The ball nips away sharply after pitching and takes a healthy edge off Elgar's bat. The ball falls just short of Cheteshwar Pujara at first slip. The Proteas skipper gets lucky! SA 23/1 after 8.3 overs

Shami to Markram | OUT!

Mohammed Shami draws first blood. An away-swinger pitched up from Shami and Aiden Markram goes for the drive. The ball takes the outside edge as KL Rahul takes a sharp catch at third slip. South Africa lose their first wicket in chase of 212 as Markram walks back for 16. SA 23/1 after 7.3 overs

Elgar, Markram start cautiously

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami have bowled some superb deliveries so far but the Proteas openers Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram have been up for the challenge. Both looking pretty watchful and positive at the start of this 212 chase. SA 19/0 after 7 overs

Shami to Markram | FOUR!

Ohh yess shot!! Over-cooked delivery wide outside off from Mohammed Shami. Aiden Markram gets to the pitch of the ball and cracks it through covers. No one from the India camp moved. Exquisite from Markram! SA 15/0 after 3.3 overs

Match fact

This is the first Test match in 145-year-history where all 20 batters of one team (India) have been out caught.

Bumrah to Markram |FOUR!

Aiden Markram gets off the mark with a streaky boundary to third-man. A straight length ball from Jasprit Bumrah and Markram plays it down the wrong line. Thick-ish outside edge and the ball races to the fence. SA 4/0 after 0.3 overs

The chase is on!

Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram make their way to the middle after the Tea break to begin South Africa's 212-run chase. Jasprit Bumrah has the new ball in hand for India. Three slips and a gully in place for Bumrah. Markram on strike. Here we go!

Day 3 Session 2 in a nutshell

Rishabh Pant scored one of his finest hundreds in most adverse of circumstance but another shoddy batting show left India with only 212 runs to defend on the third day of the third and final cricket Test against South Africa. Pant's (100 not out off 139 balls) fourth Test hundred constituted for more than 50 percent of India's second innings total of 198 with Virat Kohli's 29 off 143 balls being the second highest individual score. The umpires called for tea break at the fall of final Indian wicket in the extended second session. This was the first Test match in 145-year-history where all 20 batters of one team were caught. The day belonged to Pant as he scored a hundred which is as good as one would ever see and what stood out was his shot selection, which was immaculate. He didn't do anything that was 'un-Pant' like as there was a rasping square cut off a rising one from Kagiso Rabada (3/53). There was the audacious down the track cover drive off Duanne Olivier and that six over long-on off Keshav Maharaj came just an over before lunch. These are all shots that one associates with the dashing keeper-batter but what was exemplary was his use of discretion as to what kind of deliveries he would attack. In between defending the good balls, he drove Maharaj out of the attack with a one-handed slog sweep and a six over long-off. When Olivier dug one short at his pace, it was pulled for six as he hit six fours and four sixes in all. Skipper Virat Kohli's presence during a 94-run stand definitely helped that he had that guiding light in the middle as he went about his job. The other highlight was his batting with the tail, taking a single off either the fourth or fifth delivery shielding the Number 9, 10 and 11 as much as possible. If Pant's learning from his mistake was one good aspect, same can't be said about Cheteshwar Pujara (9) and Ajinkya Rahane (1) as they have now put their careers in jeopardy. Pujara was again cramped for room on the leg side and the tickle off the gloves was brilliantly taken by Keegan Petersen at leg slip, diving to his right and snapping it up inches ahead of the ground. In case of Rahane, Rabada bowled a terrific one which kicked from length and took his gloves and Dean Elgar at first slip caught it after keeper Kyle Verreynne had managed to tip it up with his gloves. Seven Indian batters failed to get into double figures.
