That was a miserable leave by Amla, SA could've been in a perfect position. Anyway SA are gonna draw it.

Given the behaviour of the pitch... I think we can draw this. The only way we'll chase this down is if India chokes heavily tomorrow. Luck will play a significant part. Need to get out of the morning session with 4 or less wickets down.

Good effort so far from SA. I think they have a decent chance to salvage this. They'll need something like what du plessis and Kallis produced at Adelaide.
How epic would it be if they survived till the last over and then morkel had to come out to save the match?

Great test so far. Credit to India, have been much better than I expected. Che Pujara. Wow.

The scoring rate required means that S.A can play normally until tea and they see where they are. If they are 3 down I expect them to try to chase, but 4 or more wickets they'll just play for draw IMO.

Arun Lal again repeating that Steyn feeds off Morkel. Also that batsmen are more scared of Morkel than Steyn. Most ridiculous thing ever

I think he just means in a physical sense rather than a wicket preservation sense. Batsmen were usually more uncomfortable facing Lee than McGrath even though they knew full well the latter had a much bigger chance of getting them out, for example.

Maybe. The feeding off comment is ridiculous though. Isnt it common wisdom that it's the other way around? Moreover though a good bowler definitely benefits from the relentlessness of Steyn's bowling at the other end
