450 seems way too much if at all it comes to that, today was a bright sunny day with morkel not bowling tommorow could be way different SA pace rattled 5 for 16 on day 2 morning in overcast conditions still lndia in a better position and the track is less threatening but even if they get 350-400 should be enough. if SA opt for heavy roller for 4th innings then track could get even more easier.
 
I don't think 450 is tough. Eight wickets and 130 more runs to make. Can be easily done.
 
they went at what about 5 runs an over in the last session don't think that will be possible in the morning session still they can add 130 depends more on track and how tight SA bowl.
 
130 runs in the morning session is out of the question given that both the batsmen are set. Not so easy to score in the morning session since it ain't conducive as much as the session post tea which is the best time to bat. I'll be damned if SA stages a comeback like they did in Adelaide.
 
I am half hoping that pitch becomes tougher so that our bowlers can bowl out the opposition if the track goes a bit flat then SA can survive and push for draw or if they bat way too well then even win.
 
I don't see them winning unless we collapse badly which is unlikely. Survive maybe but considering the way they batted in first innings highly unlikely again. Only rain can save them.
 
How comfortable is dhoni and when should he choose to declare assuming no collapse then up to our bowlers to bowl them out.
 
Kohli out for 96. Misses out on a well deserved century and also the achievement of scoring a century in each innings of a test match. But good thing is India is in the drivers seat with a overall lead of 376 so far. Let's see how far Dhoni and Rahane can stretch it to.
