Earlier in the day, India bowled out South Africa for 431 to take a handy 71-run lead. The hosts started shakily with the bat as Mayank Agarwal departed for just 7. However, Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara soon batted India to a position of strength. The duo shared 169 runs for the second wicket before Pujara fell for 81.

But Rohit continued his fine form and punished the South Africa bowlers. The right-handed batsman, who scored 176 in the first innings, slammed 127 from just 149 balls. His impressive knock was laced with 10 fours and 7 sixes. Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane then scored some quick runs before India declared their innings on 323 for 4 to set the visitors a target of 395. In reply, South Africa ended the day on 11 for 1.
