Remember, there have only been three successful 200 plus chases at Newlands. South Africa ain't going to have it easy. That said, they aren't entirely to be counted out here. They proved in Jo'burg that 240 wasn't enough and in what Elgar has dubbed as "one of the biggest Tests in the last 20 years", they'll be hungry to get over the line. They've been in all kinds of turmoil - both in terms of personnel and on the administrative front - and a win here could usher in a new era. Against an excellent Indian attack, it ain't going to be a walk in the park. Join us in 10 minutes for the final session.

Jansen to Bumrah, OUT, straight up, and straight in. Bavuma takes the steepler at point and Pant is left stranded on 100. Bumrah goes for a hoick but it's a terrible idea, gets a top-edge and it's taken safely. South Africa need 212 to win the series. That's tea on day three. Rahul Dravid is up on the balcony to applaud Pant as he walks off. Terrific knock under the circumstances.

Jansen to Bumrah, 1 wide, looks to take him on with the hook but is beaten as this short ball angles in down leg. It was so high that the umpire signals wide

Jansen to Bumrah, no run, was expecting the bouncer perhaps! This is a slower delivery that dips outside off, Bumrah is deceived and is beaten

Jansen gets one full over at Bumrah now.

Rabada to Pant, no run, steps out to scythe that away, but toe-ends the slap to cover, looks for a single but is sent back even as Temba fires a throw at the striker's end

Four Indian keepers have scored a total of seven centuries outside Asia, Pant has made three of those (one each in England, Australia and South Africa)

Jansen to Bumrah, no run, snorter! Bumrah drops his wrists and lets this zip by. Jansen with a glare

Jansen to Bumrah, no run, mind games, war of words. Jansen digs this short and into the body from around the wicket, Bumrah just about manages to avoid that

Jansen to Pant, 1 run, whips this down to long leg as he hares the single, what a terrific century this has been! His fourth in Tests. Special effort, a counter-attacking one. The entire dressing room stands up to applaud a fine, fine knock.

Jansen to Pant, no run, stands tall and deadbats this short ball back

Jansen to Pant, no run, steps out to flat-bat this over cover/mid-off, but is thrown off balance completely. Beaten

Jansen to Pant, no run, beaten as he looks to heave this into the leg side. Hit on the body but the ball was angling in and would've possibly missed leg.

Kumar: "Now that the Indian innings is about to end, this must be the right time to send this. Ashwin must start bowling at the other end with Bumrah for the new ball. Ashwin is a terrific new ball bowler and moreover he can keep things really tight which we need as we have been gifting runs with the new ball for a while." -- Not sure Shami or Umesh like that radical idea.
