Fourth Test: Morne Morkel's dual strike keep India under check
After skittling out the visitors for 121 in a session and a half yesterday, India with the virtue of their 51 runs have extended their lead to 264 runs and still has 8 wickets at hand.
Shikhar Dhawan, the birthday boy, played an unusual role as he kept on leaving balls outside his off-stump and scored just the 20 runs in 2 hours.
Providing him company is Cheteshwar :Pujara, who scored 27 runs with the help of 3 boundaries.
Earlier in the morning, Murali Vijay was a tad unlucky to be adjudged out as the replay show the ball brushing his arm guard, before Dane Vilas claimed the catch.
Rohit Sharma's woeful form continued as he was sent back for a golden duck by Morkel.
