1:29 PM IST:?Day 4 Starts

Kagiso Rabada with the first over of the day. Kagiso Rabada takes the strike. India resume on 16/1 in 6 overs. Lead is 146 runs.

If the rain does not intervene and India does not suffer a batting collapse like Tuesday, Virat Kohli's men are in a dominant position in the Centurion Test against South Africa.

Ninety-eight overs are due on Day 4 on Wednesday and if no play is lost, India will aim to consolidate their overnight lead of 146 and look for a total around 350-400 before asking the South Africans to bat last on a pitch that is aiding the fast bowlers.

India lost their last seven wickets in a space of 69 balls on Tuesday. While this was not ideal for a team that made a solid start with KL Rahul scoring a century, it gave Indian bowlers an early look at the South African batting.

The South African batting looked weak and wobbly. Mohammed Shami's five for 44 and Jasprit Bumrah's two for 16 wrecked SA as India took a first-innings lead of 130. At stumps on Tuesday, India had added another 16 runs but lost Mayank Agarwal.

India will have to be careful with the way they bat. South Africa will unleash their pace duo of Lungi Ngidi and Kagiso Rabada, who took nine wickets between them in the Indian first innings. Ngidi had outstanding figures of six for 71, his second-best in Tests.
