Lead is now worth 332 runs.

Once South Africa's lead crosses 400, they should start slogging. Get that lead to 550 by Tea perhaps. :inti
 
Indian getting hammered at home yet again..... Who would have thought that Kiwis would expose these guys and the floodgate will open afterwards.

Indian fans were acting all arrogant last year. One user wrote India would dominate Test cricket for the next 50 years. They became humbled I guess. :qdkcheeky

Anyway, I was expecting India to decline after likes of Pujara, Kohli, and Rohit retired. They were the glues of Indian Test batting.

Once Bumrah, Siraj, and Kuldeep retire, I think they may decline further.

India have effectively become a mid-tier team in Test.
 
They can declare and win today itself. Pitch is turning big, you can see Jadeja picking wickets now. 200 is more than enough here.
 
Stubbs can look to score a quick 30 here. Pitch won’t allow him to get a big one. It is up to SA if they want to bat long but there is no way India are saving this test. They would require a Amla-ABD type blockathan to save this test but not sure if they have in them and even those guys couldn’t save that test match.
 
I do not think India will go for this total , they will look to draw. SA should declare and keep fielders in attacking position here.
 
Draw means losing by 0-1 margin better than 0-2 & losing more WTC points.

Hope the Indian batsman show some fighting spirit in the 2nd innings.
