The Indian seamers beat the bat with regularity and when they did find the edge, the ball feel agonisingly short of the slips on numerous occasions. Keegan Petersen battled hard for his 40 not out in sweltering heat and will resume after the interval with Rassie van der Dussen, who is on 17. South Africa will be relieved to have lost only the two wickets as they resumed on 17-1, especially as the first came in the second ball of the day. That came with the score on 45, but Petersen and Van der Dussen weathered a storm to add an unbeaten 55 for the fourth wicket. The series is level at 1-1 after India won the first Test in Pretoria by 113 runs, before South Africa bounced back to claim the second in Johannesburg by seven wickets.
