Rahane just didn't pick the reverse-swinging inswinger. So the shot is irrelevant. If batsman doesn't pick a ball then that's it really - no point analyzing what kind of shot was played. Morkel set him up nicely with some reverse-swinging outswingers before that.
Probably not the time to be attempting a massive drive then.

He thought he could attack the outswinger, which I'm sure he could. He just didn't see the inswinger coming. TBH the inswinger surprised me as well. I didn't know Morkel could reverse it both ways so well.

Say what you want but bringing in Tahir at number 3 has definitely worked. He's scored more runs in this one innings than Faf did whole series.

I would've liked a 250+ score; but all's well so far. The first session tomorrow will be a tough session from SA perspective. That session can really break them, while the opposite is not true, i.e. even if SA has a great first session tomorrow India will still feel they're in the game.

Tahir was send as night watchman in order to save Amla or FaF but feeble Tahir got out so captain came out.

How valuable has Murali Vijay been! India would have been up **** creek without him... The funny thing is that he's looked to attacking and taking on the bowlers instead of defending in the little I've seen of him today.

He has defended well,as well!... most of his attacking he has taken on the correct balls to do so. Batsmen of series by far so far....
