India vs South Africa Highlights, 3rd Test, Day 3: Keegan Petersen (48*) remained unbeaten after Jasprit Bumrah's dismissal of Dean Elgar (30) marked the end of Day 3 in the third and final Test of the series in Cape Town. After India set a 212-run target for the Proteas to win, Mohammed Shami struck early with the wicket of Aiden Markram (16) but Petersen and Elgar put on a brilliant stand to take the momentum away from Indians. Further, a controversial overturned LBW decision in favour of Indians added to the visitors' woes as tempers flied on the field, with the Proteas batters taking advantage of the lapse of concentration in the opposition. SA ended the day on 101/2.

Dean Elgar is finally dismissed. Bumrah strikes! Technology finally comes to help Indian team this time as the Indian pacer breaks a dangerous stand. Elgar won't be happy with how he gave his wicket away, though.

Jan 13, 2022, 19:35:47 IST

IND vs SA Live Score: Steady start for SA

Six overs gone and both Elgar and Markram have been fairly solid through the opening phase. Yes, there have been odd edges but they resulted in boundaries, so they won't mind those.

Jan 13, 2022, 19:25:31 IST

Bumrah is dismissed on 2 and that brings the end of Indian innings. A fine innings from Rishabh Pant made the difference for India, as India set a 212-run target for the Proteas to win in Cape Town. Tea taken.

Jan 13, 2022, 18:48:20 IST

Rishabh Pant doesn't find the gap on the last ball of the delivery against Rabada, which means Bumrah needs to survive Marco Jansen.

Jan 13, 2022, 18:40:41 IST

IND vs SA Live: Century for Rishabh Pant!

What a magnificent innings from the young wicketkeeper-batter. He came at a time when India had lost two quick wickets of their senior batters Rahane and Pujara, and he not only stabilised the innings alongside Kohli but also put the South Africans under pressure with brilliant counter-attacking cricket.

Pant brings his century off 133 deliveries.

Jan 13, 2022, 18:37:58 IST

IND vs SA Live: Pant keeps strike

India vs South Africa Live: DROPPED!

Keshav Maharaj drops Rishabh Pant! How costly is it going to be?

A delivery outside off and Pant makes space for himself, realises he has to stretch himself for the shot and couldn't find the timing. Maharaj runs from deep point but fails to reach the ball in time.

Jan 13, 2022, 18:09:02 IST

IND vs SA Live Score: What's happened there?

Pant has now decided to shift gears and rightly so. He charges down the track in the first ball of Duanne Olivier's over and he puts so much power in that shot that the bat slips out of his hands. No run, however.

Jan 13, 2022, 18:03:58 IST

IND vs SA Live Updates: OUT!

Umesh Yadav falls on a duck. India 8 down! Rabada gets to swing it away from the right-hander and Umesh couldn't help but play a front-foot defensive stroke. Faint edge again, and it gets carried for an easy catch for Verreynne.

Jan 13, 2022, 18:01:14 IST

And he draws the applause from dressing room. Pant takes the aerial route against Duanne Olivier as he smacks one towards long on for a six, and then plays an orthodox pull towards midwicket for a four.

Jan 13, 2022, 17:56:52 IST

India vs South Africa Live: Pant fighting the lone battle

Rishabh Pant has been more of a spectator in this session as Ngidi is running the proceedings here. The Indian batter is now shielding Umesh Yadav. 

Jan 13, 2022, 17:49:42 IST

India vs South Africa Live Updates: OUT!

Ngidi picks his third! Shardul is out on 5. A good delivery from Ngidi, this, as he shapes it away from the right-hander while drawing him to play for the flick. A faint outside-edge and an easy catch for the wicketkeeper.

Jan 13, 2022, 17:46:20 IST

Strong shot, this. Wide outside off and Shardul opens his arms and cuts it past point for a four.
