Test in the balance: Pujara

South Africa’s hopes hinge on Elgar, says Sammons

Cheteshwar Pujara said the “match was in the balance,” but was confident the Indians would pull off a series clinching win on day four.

“We need to get Elgar out early,” he said

Pujara, who made a stroke-filled 53 on a difficult pitch in the Indian second innings said, “I just wanted to put away the bad balls. Because on this pitch you do not know when you would receive an unplayable ball.”
