India extend lead to 329 runs over South Africa

India extend their lead over South Africa to 329 runs at tea on the third day of the fourth Test.

India have extended their lead over South Africa to 329 runs with six wickets remaining, after a cagey start to their second innings on the third day of the fourth Test.

The home side showed a real lack of intent at the crease, as they lost four men early on in the innings.

Murali Vijay was the first to fall for just three runs, after he was caught off the bowling of Morne Morkel.

Morkel then claimed the next two wickets as Shikhar Dhawan (21) and Rohit Sharma (0) put on a partnership of just four runs.

India continued to look shaky and were failing to regain their composure, as Imran Tahir bowled out Cheteshwar Pujara (28) just after lunch.

South Africa thought that they had claimed their fifth wicket after Virat Kohli was adjudged to have been caught behind by the umpire, originally giving the call as out, before checking with the fourth umpire to rule out the decision and gave a no ball instead.

India regained their composure to extend their lead at tea, as Kohli slowly creeps towards his half-century as India go into the break 116-4.
