SPORT LD SA 3 LAST

The duo added 108 runs for the fourth wicket to
consolidate South Africa's position and by that stage,
dejection and weariness were writ large on the face of Indians
who had another long day under the sun.

Virender Sehwag finally got the breakthrough when de
Villiers stepped out to swing him to leg and got a leading
edge to backward point fielder S Badrinath.
Harbhajan trapped JP Duminy (9) too but Amla added
another 78 runs with veteran Mark Boucher (39 off 75 balls) to
frustrate the hosts and guide the side past the 550-mark.
Zaheer got rid off Boucher with a catch at covers when
the batsman went for a slog to leg and four runs later, South
Africa captain Graeme Smith called back his batsmen.
Both the Indian openers showed positive intent in the
last four overs of the day, never hesitating to punish the
occasional loose balls.
Gambhir hit two fours off Morne Morkel, while Sehwag sent
a Dale Steyn delivery rolling across the ropes. PTI SSR
