New Delhi:
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.
