Phew! What a day that turned out to be! From Rishabh Pant’s heroic ton, the solid partnership between Elgar and Petersen for the second wicket to the constant chirping from Kohli and Co. South Africa, at one point, looked like they were running away with the game, but Elgar’s wicket at the stroke of stumps certainly has breathed life into the game from India’s perspective and they will head back to their hotel pumped up. Petersen’s a couple of runs away from bringing up a second consecutive half-century, and will play a key role in the Proteas’ chase tomorrow, but an early wicket or two could certainly tilt the momentum in favour of the Indians.

That’s it from us in our coverage of Day 3 of the third Test. Do join us tomorrow for the fourth day’s coverage. This is Amit Banerjee signing off!

After 29.4 overs,South Africa 101/2 (Keegan Petersen 48)

OUT! Jasprit Bumrah with the breakthrough, as Dean Elgar departs for 30! Boy is the Indian team is elated at the moment. Wasn’t the best of deliveries from the Indian pace spearhead, but one that got the result nevertheless. Full delivery going down leg, Elgar looks to nudge this behind square, and appears to get a deflection. Pant starts appealing right after it lands in his gloves, and Kohli takes this upstairs. UltraEdge confirms the spike, and the Indians are ecstatic. With the wicket, it’s STUMPS ON DAY 3!

Shami replaces Ashwin. FOUR! Length ball takes off and Petersen manages to get a bit of bat to it, guiding it past the keeper towards the fine leg fence for a boundary. Petersen then brings up the 100 for the Proteas with a brace next ball, being denied a boundary after an agile stop at cover. Six from the over. South Africa need another 111 to win with nine wickets in hand.

After 28 overs,South Africa 95/1 ( Dean Elgar (C) 30 , Keegan Petersen 42)

Maiden for Bumrah. Appeal for LBW against Elgar in the last delivery, but the umpire turns it down. The Indians too decide against reviewing it. “Going over the shoulder,” quips a sarcastic Kohli, still fuming from the LBW decision getting overturned off Ashwin’s bowling earlier.

After 22 overs,South Africa 70/1 ( Dean Elgar (C) 27 , Keegan Petersen 22)

The Proteas rub salt into India’s wounds after getting the LBW overturned in the previous over as both Elgar and Petersen collect a boundary each off Thakur’s bowling in the next over. 10 from the over. Partnership currently worth 47.

Ashwin bowls from round the wicket to Elgar with two slips in place. The two balls collect a single each before Ashwin successfully appeals for LBW against Elgar. The SA skipper takes this upstairs, and HawkEye shows the ball travelling over the stumps, much to everyone’s surprise. India’s search for the breakthrough continues. Two from the over.

Petersen cops a painful blow on the glove after the ball takes off in the third delivery, the extra bounce taking him by surprise. Needs a quick look from the physio. Petersen blocks the remaining deliveries away after recovering from the hit. Maiden for Shardul.

Bit of delay in proceedings two deliveries into Bumrah’s fifth over, some issues with the sight screen apparently. Elgar nicks the third delivery towards the slip cordon, where the ball falls just short of Pujara at first slip. Elgar clips the ball through midwicket off the fifth delivery, pushing for a third and getting there in the end. FOUR! Keegan Petersen gets off the mark with a boundary off a punch down the ground.

OUT! Mohammed Shami with the early breakthrough! Markram pays the price for taking a risk too many. Just the previous delivery he had nicked the ball through the gap between third slip and gully. Goes for a similar shot next up, this time the edge carrying towards third slip where Rahul leaps to his left to complete a good catch. Disappointing series for Markram, though he’s still a long way off from getting replaced. SA 23/1

Bumrah squares Elgar up with a length ball angled across the line — the delivery that has had the South African captain dismissed twice in this series. Fortunately for Elgar, it goes past the edge. Tidy over from Bumrah, his second maiden. Plenty of chatter around the stumps at the moment, with Kohli doing quite the job in firing his team up with words.

He looks to tickle this one fine but does not get the bat on it, but the ball hits the pad and onto fine leg fence for four leg-byes. Six off the over.

After 67.3 overs,India 198/10 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 100 , )

Wide called in the second delivery after the bouncer by Jansen is deemed too high. Bumrah lofts the ball over mid off for a brace off the third, getting off the mark in the process, before perishing next ball after getting a thick top-edge, resulting in a simple catch for Bavuma at point. Pant remains unbeaten on 100, as India set South Africa 212 to win.

India vs South Africa, Live Cricket Score, 3rd Test at Cape Town, Day 3, Latest Scorecard and Updates: OUT! Jasprit Bumrah with the breakthrough, as Dean Elgar departs for 30 at the stroke of stumps on Day 3. The Proteas end the day on 101/2, needing another 111 to win with two days left in the series decider. Day 2 report: India was 57-2 in its second innings at stumps Wednesday for a lead of 70 runs over South Africa in the decisive final test. The game progressed rapidly on Day 2 at Newlands after South Africa started on 17-1 in its first innings and was bundled out for 210. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was India’s star again with 5-42 as South Africa threatened to overhaul India’s first innings of 223, then tumbled under the pressure created by Bumrah. The Proteas went from 159-4 to 210 all out in the kind of collapse that has dominated the series because of the two strong bowling lineups. [caption id=“attachment_10238511” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] ![India vs South Africa 2022, 3rd Test at Cape Town](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Virat-Kohli-Dean-Elgar-trophy-Twitter-@BCCI-640.jpg) India vs South Africa Live Cricket Score and Live Streaming Today’s 3rd Test Match at Cape Town Day 3[/caption] Keegan Petersen made 72 for South Africa but the next highest score for South Africa was 28 by Temba Bavuma. Petersen was one of Bumrah’s five, a ball that angled in and moved off the seam to catch an outside edge and travel to Cheteshwar Pujara at first slip. India extended its advantage to 70 by stumps but at the expense of losing both openers. Virat Kohli, back in the team after missing the second test with injury, was 14 not out after top-scoring in the first innings with 79. Pujara was with him on 9. Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen had struck for South Africa but India had a strong chance at a first test series win ever in South Africa if it took its lead past 200. The three-test series is level at 1-1, setting up the series finale at Newlands in Cape Town. With inputs from AP
