South Africa won the first session without a doubt. Elgar and Faf both looking strong against spin, it was interesting to watch Faf's sweep shots against the Ashwin-Jadeja, it tells you how confident he is against the spin on another hand Elgar adjusted to the conditions beautifully but he needs to avoid aerial shots if he wants big 100, he was lucky few times.
For India its waiting game, Pitch still good to bat on, with an uneven bounce here and there, it can bring them wickets, and they need to capitalize those moments.

Yes.. so far it was good for South Africa. They made a remarkable recovery, after the horrific top order collapse they had yesterday. And this is the advantage you have, when you include world class players such as du Plessis and de Kock. Ashwin, who looked like a destroyer yesterday was looking very ordinary today. Still, South Africa needs another 67 runs to avoid follow on. They should be able to avoid it, as de Kock/Elgar is batting really well and Senuran Muthusamy is yet to come. And if they force India to bat for the second time, then the chances of a draw increases (with some help from the rain gods).
. Sourav Ganguly changed the concept of getting selected just by mere selection process and he was involved in bringing all these players directly into the international scene and into his team and his concept is being followed by MSD and now Kohli.
