India vs South Africa LIVE Score, 1st Test Day 3: South Africa are in command of the match with an 11-run lead after they surpassed India’s first innings total of 245. For South Africa, who were 256/5 at Sumps on Day 2, the star batter was Dean Elgar who scored 140 not out. The star opener is to retire after the Test series and the Centurion ton in difficult conditions where the ball was seaming and swinging was just another reminder of his talent.
For India, the best bowlers were Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj who took two wickets each. Prasidh Krishna also took a wicket on Test debut but he went for runs. Siraj, Krishna and Shardul Thakur had an economy of over 4. The lack of discipline allowed South Africa to keep the scoreboard ticking as they went into the lead.
