Prince, who was out for a duck in the Nagpur Test,
managed to open his account this time but didn't last too long
when he was caught plumb in front of the middle-stump,
bringing the crowd back on the feet.

In an identical dismissal off the very next ball,
Harbhajan got rid of Duminy, who was also trapped in front
playing to a straight top-spinner.
Harbhajan missed out on a hat-trick at the Eden, but the
two dismissals in succession brought India back into the game
in an astounding fashion as South Africa reeled at 253 for
six.
More drama followed when Zaheer, with a brilliant throw
from mid-off, ran AB de Villiers (12) out as South Africans
lost their seventh wicket in the final session of the day.
From the non-striker's end, de Villiers almost ran
midway into the pitch before realising that there was no run
to be taken as Zaheer executed the run-out.
Having gone wicket-less in the Nagpur Test, Ishant
finally took his first wicket of the series when he dismissed
Paul Harris (1) in the 44th over leaving South Africa at 255
for eight.
Leg-spinner Amit Mishra also opened his account for the
first time in this series when he took the scalp of Dale Steyn
(5) by trapping him leg before although replays suggested that
the ball hit the bat first. Ishant and Mishra took one wicket
apiece. MORE PTI TAP
