I think they've made the Kiwis angry.

Edabot conceded a 7 off a dropped edge today. Gutted.

Jesus.... Bangladesh chose to bowl as well. Suspect that last test was an aberration rather than a new dawn

What a wonderful wonderful way for Taylor to finish his test career!!! Taking the final Bangladesh wicket with his part time off spin. Test cricket is sadly poorer for his retirement, 7 1/2 thousand runs at 44 with 19 centuries is good enough to get into most teams past or present, we'd certainly cut a nut off to have someone that good in our team at the moment that's for sure. I'm sure with their massive cricket playing population they'll find someone equally good to fill his spot!

They'll just shuffle Conway down to four and he'll score bucketloads of runs while we gnash our teeth in despair.

Huge fan of Taylor finishing his career with a wicket- apparently the list of people who've retired taking a wicket with their last ever ball in tests is McGrath, Murali, Hadlee... and Ross Taylor. Glorious stuff.

Pant dropping Bavuma onto his own helmet, costing five penalty runs. Not all going quite to plan for India, this.
I do think Keegan Petersen looks a well organised player too. Cracking series all round this one, wish there was more of it!

What a marvellously poised test between 2 very good teams, shame the Ashes can't be quite as competitive, but it takes a very talented team to compete away from home

Nice to see four black players in the South African side as well, and all of them feel like they belong.

Absolutely, although I think in technical South African terms Keegan Petersen is cape coloured (as was Ashwell Prince), rather than black African - and the two are distinct when it comes to their racial targets. 100% agree with the sentiment though!
Rishabh Pant is now doing doing that thing he does where he plays a different sport to everyone else involved in the game. I understand why he frustrates people, but he really is an exceptional talent.

All twenty Indian wickets to catches, first time ever apparently. Niche statting.

It's what Jos should do but never has (in red ball).
Meanwhile, amazing stat:

Beautifully poised for tomorrow, SA needing 111 with 8 wickets in hand, Elgar going right at the close there definitely makes things a lot more interesting!

Another incredibly balanced and exciting test match, with a great finish in prospect. Needing to score the highest innings total of the match is never going to be easy, and i'd back India at the moment, that last wicket absolutely crucial. Virat losing his rag is another check in the great test match box too as is that ace all catches stat.
