India just lost second wicket and score is just 66 runs. Vijay and Dhawan started off slowly after Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bat. Vijay in particular looked a bit edgy. He was lucky to receive an early lifeline but didn't make use of it, got out already. Now India need a couple of good partnerships to build big score in this innings.
Currently India is not in a good position in this match. They lost 7 wickets for just 231 runs. Rahane, Jadeja and Ashwin have moved India from 139 for 6 to 231 for 7. Still South Africa's day overall but they would have done even better because they have effectively only three bowlers to pick up these wickets. Tahir has been disappointing in test matches. Today we will come to know who may win this match.
I would say they're in a ok'ish position, they did lose some early wickets but I think 250+ would be enough as South Africans aren't performing too well on spinning wickets. I don't expect anything to change in this Match to be honest, I think Indians will score another comfortable win and you're right it'll be clear by the end of the day.
india have posted above 323/8 score which is i think very good totall, now if they cross above 350+ and declare then i think south africa batsman will be worrying about spinners of india, as now the pitch is turning and supporting the spinners. imran tahir came and took the first wicket and gave the break through of 8th wicket partnership for SA
India all out for 334 runs, actually I never expected India will cross 300 mark in this innings. Rahane and Ashwin really played a best innings in this match, particularly being a bowler Ashwin scored second highest innings total was the turning point for this big total. Anyway now Indian bowlers need to show their regular performance to pickup quick wickets and put pressure on SA batsman.
what you said is correct india have posted 334 runs is a very good totall and now their bowling is also going good, south africa is right now 56/3 , lossing the both opener and hasim amla i think SA is back in trouble in this test match also with batting. now everything depends on deviliers the very mature experienced battsman if he stays then i think SA will make above 200+ runs .
