11.56am It's lunch at Newlands. Bumrah leads India off the field after bagging a six-wicket haul and keeping SA's lead to 78. That SA stretched their lead that far was down to Markram's great innings - 106 off 103 balls. As it stands, India need 79 to win this Test and square the series. But it won't be easy against SA's attack on this pitch that continues to offer excessive variable bounce and seam movement. Shashank will be back with you after the lunch break.
Sampath Bandarupalli: Two six-plus wicket hauls by Indian pacers in the same Test:Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ishant Sharma vs ENG, Lord's 2014
Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah vs SA, Cape Town 2024
Balamurugan : "This pitch is not suitable for defending game. Attack the ball and achieve the target. "
Venkatesh TV: "Tough task ahead for India given the 6/0 in the 1st innings. Need to apply themselves."
Paul Shine: "Would be interesting to see how will India approach this chase....Bazball or 'TheWall'ball...."
