Really feel for pujara. Practicing against Ishant in the nets clearly hasn't prepared him well enough for Morkel

Crapping my pants as we speak. Still feel SA are on top right now. They've beaten the bat an insane amount of times and it's going to start evening out at some stage (you could argue Laxman's run-out balanced it out a bit). It's also the jammiest innings I've seen from Sachin in a long, long time... so many wild idiotic wafts trying to play the uppercut. Hope he settles down a bit after lunch, but he looks so shaky that I feel it's just a matter of time before he goes...

Atleast we've shown an appetite for a scrap though, which is more than can be said for Indian touring teams of the past. As long as we avoid a collapse, I won't complain too much.

When you take into account how many runs have come from nicks to third man, plus the fact that they don't have Kallis, they have done an amazing job of restricting the scoring.

He's struggling with those cut shots on this pitch. It's strange considering that these cuts were his main scoring shots in the first 2 matches.

This has the potential of becoming a test of attrition.

If Indian batsmen can grit it out, there is a real chance of Steyn or Morkel over exerting and getting injured. Especially as there is not much in the form of support bowling.

Tsotsobe has bowled like a machine, but this can't last. They have played out 80 overs, and they need to only go 15 more with-out losing any wickets to reap the benefits of that.

But i really don't think Steyn and Morkel would go wicket-less for 15 overs. A collapse is just round the corner. If India had 30 more runs on the board, it would be slightly in India's favor, but now it is anyones game...most likely South Africa's game.

The first ball of a Steyn spell is always the same :laugh:

Batsman should just leave it from now on FFS.

That is ridiculous bowling. Just ****ing amazing.

We are screwed if Steyn is going to bowl like this.
