And for God's sake don't get run out. Just need a total of 250. So play sensible.

Lead now nearly 250. India should go for knockout punch now 300+ lead score would be good.

Excellent batting by India, Pujara and Kohli looking good. Another 100 runs and India can easily look for a win by bowling out SA in 5 sessions over the next two days.

Morne Morkel has a grade 1 ligament tear on his ankle and will be out for seven to ten days. He will not take the field for this game and his fitness might be in doubt for the next Test as well

Well...

We totally owned the game today. Need 100 more and declare. Get them out. What a turnaround!

Rarely do our cricketers make us feel happy.

Ya. Specially abroad we get only heartbreaks.

If we lead by over 400 runs then it will be impossible for SA to win. The question is when do we declare. How much time our bowlers need to take 10 wickets? Also whether there is any possibility of rain. I think we should bat till one hour after lunch and then declare. In 3 hours of batting before that we should be able to add at least 150 to 175 runs. So total lead will be around 475+. With this lead we won't lose the match. Whether we will win depends on Zak, Ishant and Shami. On 4th and 5th day pitch even Ashwin should trouble the batters. By close of play tomorrow, picture will be clear. Fingers crossed!

I think we should declare by 450. Am expecting Dhoni might promote himself ahead of Rahane.
