India have slipped further into trouble on Day 3 as Sai Sudharsan became the third wicket to fall, leaving the hosts wobbling at 96/3 in 34.3 overs, still trailing South Africa by a massive 393 runs.
The breakthrough came from Simon Harmer, who is running through India’s top order. Sudharsan, trying to steady the innings after Jaiswal’s dismissal, fell for 15 off 40 balls, edging one to Ryan Rickelton at slip.
