Oh yes, we are in a good position and 200 might be enough but still can't forgive Kohli's captaincy. This is worse than 90s England, chopping and changing every game. Seemingly for no reason.

Well......this is starting to get spicy, some balls jumping off a length, umpires getting involved and talks of potentially this game getting called off!

My reaction every time Kohli gets out: He’s probably won the match for India already though.

Hate Kohli the captain but the batsman continues to show why he is the best in the world. That was unreal stuff on a snakepit.

Fantastic catch from Rabada, I think a target of anything over 170 will be extremely hard to get.

Rahane continues to show why he is the best Test batsman in the side. Lead of 200 now just have to hope and pray SA don't claim pitch is dangerous while batting and call off the match.

So when do we all think he’ll next be dropped for Rohit Sharma then?

Nasser Nasser, just when you made sense in the previous Tweet, you had to do that.
Songster, to answer your question. I'm thinking first Test against England cause Rohit will have done better in the IPL and he will have "better form".

I’m sure Jimmy and Jimmy mk. 2 ( ) would be thrilled.

Great performance by India this, tell you what any plans to produce seaming wickets this summer could be negated if they play like this and choose the right players, any move to call this off now would be an utter disgrace, India toughed it out, SA must do the same

Poor form this, from what I can see there is little difference between when SA and India were bowling, Kohli for once will be entitled to have a strop

From the little I’ve seen the pitch looks genuinely dangerous. But making the right decision too late is in danger of looking worse than making the wrong decision. After letting Morkel bowl round the wicket at the tail, you have to think SA are on thin ice complaining now.

Been watching most of the past 2 days, it's bouncing a bit off a length and making it testing with gloves being hit a bit but i've not seen anything to suggest one will spit off a length and come through at head height, the one that ended the day though, being brutally harsh, was just a poorly played bouncer, on SKy they have shown a hawkeye view of 2 similarly pitched deliveries all of which were played from roughly the same place, this last one he just knacked it up.
Like you say Nemo, calling it now after India sucked it up and batted magnificently will be a shambles

worth noting also, that i'm not sure SA are complaining, and this was solely the umpires decision
