Cape Town Test: India hopes brighten after Elgar's wicket but South Africa sniff victory despite Pant hundred

India tour of South Africa: Despite Rishabh Pant's record-setting hundred, South Africa are favourites to gun down 218 and win the Test series decider in Cape Town. The hosts went to Stumps on 101/2 after an enthralling day of Test cricket.

Captain Virat Kohli looked frustrated and so did his teammates at the end of another enthralling day's play of cricket in Cape Town as the Test series might be slowly but surely been slipping away from India's grasp. Despite a terrific lone warrior's effort from Rishabh Pant on Day 3 of the 3rd Test, India are in danger of returning home empty-handed from the Rainbow Nation.

India have never won a Test series in South Africa and it might well stay that way after Friday's action at Newlands as Dean Elgar and Keegan Petersen helped the hosts finish Day 3 of the cracking series decider in a commanding position.
