Yes! Damn, just when we are only 21 runs away from SA, this thing happens! God, any lead for SA is still very good for them. Hope we can eat away into it as much as we can (and maybe get a lead for ourselves still)

But the good thing for India is, New ball is still doing a lot. So Zak and Sree need to make really good use of it. SA will have to bat 15-20 overs at end of the day and will try and save their wickets.
Steyn gets another 5-fer

Absolutely, idk when they would learn they can just duck and let it go.

It's almost over now and I hope our pace bowlers get early breakthroughs if we are to restrict SA to a score that can be chased. Once new ball is done with it will create huge problems for India given the strength of SA batting.
Lots of talk about Harbhajan being vital in next innings by the commentators. I don't think he's gonna be that lethal especially if he doesn't get 'not very set' batsmen at the crease.
Steyn is an absolute class! I've loved every bit of action today, Test Cricket at it's very best!

India can chase a total of less than 200. Anything more would put SA in advantage.
I just hope in attempt to go for wickets our bowlers don't leak runs easily with new ball.

Not too bad a deficit for India (if we get out right now), but I was hoping for atleast levelling with SA. Sreesanth has a brain of the size of less than a peanut. When Zaheer can hit sixes off Steyn in the other end, why does this guy charge once he comes in first ball?
Deficit down to 10 runs! Come on ZAK! Retain strike, and dont let the fool take strike. Eat up the deficit please!

Absolutely! This is super high quality test cricket.
And Sreesanth smokes a four! We are down to just 5 runs of deficit! Come on Zak, smash it out of the ground and get that lead please!

India in lead 
Very important psychologically.
n Ten Cricket continues with its B*SH'T services. Thank God World cup coverage is in good hands of ESPN/Star Sports.
How is calling someone a disgrace to cricket, not count as personal..?!? Go Sreesanth Go.. get inside Smith's skin again.

The conditions look so great for batting, If the bowlers don't get it right early. They are in for a hammering.
There is enough movement out there (especially with the new ball). And the pitch is definitely going to turn for Harbhajan who is in quite good form too. Any lead would have been good here, and I still maintain that this game is incredibly even right now.
