Ind vs SA, 2nd Test, Day 4: Day ends with India at 35/3 after 23 overs, need 252 runs to win

South Africa would look to extend their overnight lead to as much as possible when they take to field on Day 4 of the Centurion Test against India.

The hosts looked comfortably placed with a substantial lead at stumps on Day 3. After the Indian seamers made initial inroads into the Proteas batting by picking up Amla and Markram, De Villiers stages a strong recovery with a well compiled half century.
