Ashwin’s been given the ball early in the innings and he delivers.

van Zyl lets the ball pick up a thick outside edge off his bat before landing safely into the waiting palms of a smiling Ajinkya Rahane.

South Africa: 4/1, Imran Tahir comes in as night watchman hopefully to stick around for the next 7 overs.

Lots of talk about the need for Saha to step up as a batsman and the keeper manages to delivery today. Well, sort of.

First the partnership with Jadeja and then Ashwin - before the Kolkata keeper is caught by Duminy.

India: 201/8, Saha out for a 106-ball 32

Fun Fact: Saha’s wicket is Simon Harmer’s 250th in First-Class cricket. Also, his third of the match.

Morkel Injured

Morkel bowls the first ball of the 70th over and grimaces.

Not good news for the South Africans, their best fast bowler today is walking off the field with the physio. Replays show he may he picked up a hamstring strain while bowling the last delivery.

Tahir completes the over.
