Close finish you'd think

[The Professor]

Pant with another daft shot. Happens quite a bit.

[sussexpob]

South Africa look poised, but this is the type of pitch they could easily lose 8 wickets in a heartbeat on.

[yuppie]

Great result for SA and pretty easy in the end.

Series nicely poised

[mikesiva]

South Africa win by seven wickets.

SA 243-3

Elgar 96*
Rassie 40

Elgar is such a tough guy!

[alfie]

India recovered a bit from 33/2 . Pujara gone now for a handy 43 so Kohli and Rahane have some work to do. 116/3 at drinks... and has Rahane nicked this on resumption ?

Out ? Reviewed...might have been pad...but no , that is definately bat and he's on his way for 9. Rabada with his second and India in some trouble now at 116/4...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Probably going to be too many for SA to chase, but in theory, an interestingly balanced game going into the fourth innings.

Looks a crucial innings by Pant.

[The Professor]

India's 7-11 collectively averaged 9.6 in the series - their worst in a series of 3+ matches since 1979

[The Professor]

Could open for England with those figures

[yuppie]

Indias players reaction to the DRS incident should lead to some form of punishment. Shocking show of dissent and basically accusing the national broadcaster of doctoring the pictures.
