Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane put on a massive 267 – run partnership to extend India’s control on the match before the latter departed for 115. Rohit Sharma posted his highest score in Test cricket as he continued to dominate the South African bowling, which has largely looked hapless and out of ideas. George Linde picked up his first Test wicket when he got Rahane to edge one to the wicketkeeper in what has been South Africa’s only breakthrough since the morning session on Day 1. Kagiso Rabada claimed the scalps of Mayank Agarwal and Cheteshwar Pujara while Anrich Nortje got the big wicket of Indian skipper Virat Kohli on Saturday. (LIVE SCORECARD)
