R Jadeja to Kock, OUT! BOWLED! The ball kept low but that is such an unnecessary shot from de Kock. Jadeja bowls it slower through the air outside off. It pitches on the rough and spins in. The ball keeps low as well. De Kock for some absurd reason goes for a big slog sweep but the ball goes between the bat and pad onto the middle stump. Quinton will not be happy looking at his shot selection once he has a look back. Brilliant start for India! Half the side back in the hut for South Africa.

... Day 4, Session 2 ...

11:47 (IST) Oct 13

So a South Africa defeat looks inevitable. Only a miracle can see them go past India's trail forget about putting India to bat. They will now look to play hour by hour. Kohli and his troops will now be looking to wrap this up in the next session itself. Can they do it? Join us for the second session to find out.

It was a brilliant bowling display from the Indians. They bowled the right lines and lengths and kept the Protea batters at bay. Ashwin's fine Test continued as he added 2 more wickets to his 4 that he took in the first innings of the game. Ishant and Umesh were the other bowlers to get into the wickets column. But the unsung hero of this session has to be Wriddhimann Saha. He took two blinders which are equally his wicket as the bowlers.

11:36 (IST) Oct 13

After enforcing the follow-on, India started the day with a bang. On the very second ball of the day, Ishant struck gold sending Markram for a duck, making him grab a pair for the first time in his Test career. Luck too went India's way as Ball Tracker later on showed that the ball was missing the stumps. That wicket though set the pretext of the session. Theunis de Bruyn stayed for a while before a stunning catch from Saha saw his back. Elgar and Faf du Plessis then tried to grind it out in the middle. The duo added a 49-run stand before the skipper was sent back after another fine catch from Saha. Elgar was fighting a lone battle but a rush of blood moment saw him throw his wicket away.
