When the two sides take the field on the third day of the current first Test at the SuperSport Park in Centurion, Team India will try to overwhelm South Africa. Dean Elgar scored a fantastic century and formed some excellent partnerships with players like Tony de Zorzi and David Bedingham, giving the hosts an 11-run lead in the first innings. India's first-inning total of 245 was surpassed by the Proteas at stumps, who finished at 256 for 5. Elgar added 131 runs for the fourth wicket with debutant Bedingham, who scored a smooth half-century that featured two enormous pulled sixes. Now, India will need to play a catching game.
