India vs South Africa Highlights 1st Test, Day 3: Shami enters 200 club, India extend lead on eventful day in Centurion

Jasprit Bumrah is back into the attack! He had rolled his ankle earlier in the day. Fortunately, he's escaped a serious injury.

15 wickets have fallen so far in the day! Centurion can perhaps see a couple of more today.

Shardul has a knack for picking crucial wickets and he breaks the partnership and traps Jansen. Ball-tracking showed that it was crashing into the off-stump. Keshav Maharaj joins Rabada in the middle.

South Africa 181/8

Jansen flicks one away towards mid-wicket for a boundary! Jansen & Rabada are frustrating the Indian bowling unit now. They have already added 37 off 61 deliveries.

What a shot! Rabada lofts it straight down the ground against Ashwin. He holds the pose as the ball flies into the sightscreen. Also, drinks are on the field.

South Africa 177/7

Pant's chatter continues as Ashwin bowls a maiden. South Africa trail by 160 runs and Jansen & Rabada are doing a commendable job to stick in the middle.

Siraj is back into the attack and gives away four runs. Bumrah still not in the picture. South Africa, on the other hand, have a hefty deficit to reduce.

South Africa 160/7

Pant has also smashed Dhoni's wicketkeeping record. The youngster now has 100 Test dismissals to his name in 26 Tests. Dhoni had achieved the feat in 36 Test matches.

Fewest matches to 100 dismissals as keeper for India in the Test format:

26 - Rishabh Pant

36 - MS Dhoni/Wriddhiman Saha

Bavuma reached his 16th Test fifty before Shami packed him. A brilliant innings under pressure comes to an end. Also, Pant gets his 100th dismissal in the longest format.

South Africa 144/7

Ashwin is back into the attack and he will perhaps also be eager to take a wicket, given the fact that the SA tail has been exposed.

Shami strikes again! He lures Mulder to play a cover drive but the bat takes a faint edge before goint to Pant. South Africa lose their sixth wicket.

South Africa 133/6

12 runs off Shardul's over. Three boundaries but the best was Bavuma checking an elegant on-drive and timing it to the boundary fence. He's moving towards his 16th Test fifty too.

Shardul Thakur opens the attack as the final session of the day gets underway! The Indian team is still chirpy on the field, looking for a few more wickets to end the day on a positive note. Just to remind you, we have 98 overs to witness today to make up for yesterday's washout.

Shardul picked up his first wicket just before the tea as South Africa batters Bavuma and Mulder walked back with the scoreboard reading 109/5. They still trail by 218 runs.

Meanwhile, Bumrah has returned to the deck, giving Indian fans some relief. The pacer had a discussion with the on-field umpire, asking when he can resume bowling. This is just minutes before the tea. 

Just when it looked like South Africa had built a decent stand, Shardul Thakur removes De Kock to break the partnership. Inside edge and it crashed straight into the woodwork. De Kock would be disappointed after watching the replays. Wiaan Mulder joins Bavuma in the middle.

South Africa 104/5

A vociferous appeal from Siraj and Kohli went upstairs to review the LBW decision. Looked like it was going down the leg side and ball-tracking told the same tale. Wickets missing and India lose the review!

De Kock, who was dropped on a duck by Rahul, is looking solid in the middle. He's on 32 off 55 at the moment. India looking for a breakthrough here. Thirty minutes to go before tea.

De Kock and Bavuma have now added 60 runs for the fifth wicket, playing a key role in South Africa's stirring fightback after early blows. The hosts are now inching closer to the 100-run mark.

Consecutive boundaries by Bavuma. He didn't middle Thakur's delivery but it managed to race towards the boundary in the cover region. The right-hander edged the next delivery but gets away with it, also earning four more runs. He's spent over 50 deliveries and looking to resurrect the early collapse.

It's an ankle sprain as reported.

Close… Siraj, bowling round the wicket, squares up de Kock. Opens him up as the ball takes the edge and flies towards third slip. However, there just wasn't enough on it as the ball landed short of a diving KL Rahul.

After 22 overs, India have brought R Ashwin into the attack. The partnership between de Kock and Bavuma is is beginning to gather momentum, and perhaps Kohli can sense that. Can Ashwin get among the wickets tally here? 

His team may be pushed to the walls here but Quinton de Kock will not hold back to the balls that deserve to be punished. He gets himself a couple off boundaries off Shardul Thakur, who oversteps twice in the 20th over.

"Indians have learnt what to do on the pitch from South Africa," says Ajit Agarkar from the commentary box. Even when Bumrah is off the field, India have looked in command.

What a day of Test cricket we're witnessing.. 11 wickets already! Van der Dussen nicks it to Rahane in the slips as Siraj enters the wicket-takers column.

Shami strikes again by clipping the top of off stump and removing Markram for 13. Bowlers are extracting a lot of movement today and the early flurry of wickets showed that.

South Africa 30/3

Injury scare for Bumrah, who seems to have twisted his ankle in the follow through. He's back on his feet but walking off the field. Siraj will finish the over for Bumrah.

Looked like an outside edge but wasn't one! Shami's delivery made contact with Makram's back thigh before flying towards Pujara in the slips. Pant, however, dives in front but doesn't manage to pouch it.

The next man in, Rassie van der Dussen has been smacked on the gloves by Bumrah. The South African moves forward to defend but takes a hit on the glove. Siraj might also enjoy bowling here!

Shami delivers straightaway. He castles Petersen for 15 as South Africa lose their second wicket. The Indian camp is chirpy out there now. Markram might be the next on the team's to-do list.

South Africa 25/2

The second session gets underway. Shami opens the attack for India!

Petersen has looked solid with his technique, having got 16 First-class hundreds to his name. Markram has been a constant LBW technique due to his stance covering the wickets.. but the right-hander has also produced some lovely drives on the off-side.

"Had SA bowled a bit more tighter on the opening day, they would have been in a much better position," says Sanjay Bangar on Star Sports about the change in bowling approach that triggered the Indian collapse on Day 3.

What a superb shot from Petersen, who drives it towards covers for a picture-perfect shot. South Africa 21/1 at lunch, trailing by 306 runs, with Markram (9) and Petersen (11) at the crease.

Shami into the attack and Keegan Petersen glances it towards square leg for a single. Six have gone by and SA are trailing by 311 runs. Also, the average score batting first in Centurion in 329 -- something for Indian fans to feel better after witnessing the unexpected collapse.
