That's stumps on Day 3!
India pick Elgar's wicket and the day is called off. The match hangs in balance after that wicket. Kohli was as usual pumped up. India are rattled after that LBW decision getting overturned.
India need eight wickets to win, SA need 11 runs. Proteas 101/2 after end of Day 3.

Unreal scenes at Newlands!
In the Ashwin's last over, he had Elgar trapped in front of stumps and umpire Erasmus had no doubt whatsoever that it was out. Looked plumb too. Elgar took the review, two reds but no impact with stumps and Elgar survives. Kohli fuming after the call. He went up to the stumps and said 'the whole country is against us 11 men'. He is very angry as India feel they have been robbed a wicket.
SA 70/1
