IND - 280, 261/2 (72.1 Ovs)


20.30 IST: Morkel will not be bowling again in this Test and will only bat in an emergency. It is also highly unlikely he will be ready for the second Test. The doctors might resort to a platelet injection to see if they can get him up and running again. For those who understand these things, it is a Grade 1 ligament tear, which normally takes 7 to 10 days to heal. If it had been Grade 2 or Grade 3 tear, they might have needed to operate, so good thing it ain't. In other news, India lead by 270 now.

20.25 IST: Pujara brings up his first overseas hundred, and sixth overall, with a punching cover drive. He celebrates in an atypical exuberant style for him by punching the air. These boys are determined to prove themselves across the globe and they are not wasting any time doing it. It has taken him 168 balls to get there and includes 13 fours. Remember he took 51 balls to make his first 7 runs. His next 94 have come from 118 balls. Tahir will not sleep well tonight. His first Test century overseas,the first of many I venture.

December 20, 2013 20.05 IST: India plundering the spinners. Pujara and Kohli take 14 off a Duminy over, with Pujara smashing two fours and Kohli one. It brings up India's 200 and takes their partnership past 100. Kohli gets to his fifty in the next over with another single. Taken him just 74 deliveries, or half what it took Pujara. These two are scoring at 4.88 runs an over, which is revolutionary for this game. The moral of the story: everything comes to he who waits (unless you are Virat Kohli, in which case you just take what you want). Virat Kohli (119 & 50*) now 2nd Indian after Rahul Dravid (148 & 81 at Jo'burg 1997) to make a 100 & 50 in same Test match in SAf #IndvSA — Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) December 20, 2013
