NINE DOWN:
Lungi Ngidi has a five-for. Shami went for a big hoick but easy catch for Morne Morkel at mid-on. India 145/9

OUT! 8 down India. Rohit Sharma misses out on fifty, goes for 47. de Villiers takes a brilliant catch running in from deep fine leg.


Rohit and Shami trying to delay the inevitable. Their stand is now worth 40 off 43 balls



WICKET! Lungi Ngidi gets his fourth wicket. Ashwin edges to keeper. India 87/7. Surviving till lunch seems difficult.


WICKET:
India 83/6. Hardik Pandya gifts his wicket to Ngidi, out caught behind for 6. Terrible shot from him. The ball was wide, short and outside off. Pandya tries to play the upper cut but all he manages is a faint nick and Quinton de Kock takes a lovely catch. Indian batsmen have been terrible with their decision making in this match


WICKET! Parthiv Patel top-edges and Morkel takes a blinder at deep fine leg, goes for 19. India 65/5


TRIVIA:
Cheteshwar Pujara is now the first Indian batman to have been run-out twice in a Test match. Who would have thought?


OUT! Pujara is India's fourth casualty, first of today. Needless run out, goes for 19. India 49/4


Here we go people. Final day of the second Test between India and South Africa begins in a few minutes. India have their back against the wall. Chasing 287, and they are 3 down for 35 already. It's slightly overcast at Centurion but chances of rain not too bright. It will need a special effort from the Indian batsmen. What can they conjure? Stay tuned. Live action coming soon.
