CRICKET NEWS - A pitch that was believed to be benign for the better part of the fourth day as South Africa ground out runs to set India a target of 287 turned dangerously up and down when the fourth innings began.

In truth, while the pitch had deteriorated, it was also the height and pace of the South African attack that made the difference on Tuesday.
India slumped to 35 for three, and had lost the big wicket of Virat Kohli, leaving South Africa in control of the second test at SuperSport Park in Centurion.
Kagiso Rabada, handed the new ball ahead of Morne Morkel, who took 4-60 in the first innings, absolutely steamed in from the Hennops River End, where more of the variable bounce was coming from and it was not long before he struck. Murali Vijay had little chance against a back of length delivery that took the inside edge and crashed into the stumps.
Lokesh Rahul, choked for runs, played a back-foot punch with the horizontal bat to Lungi Ngidi, the ball too close for the cut, and perfectly picked out by Keshav Maharaj at point.
All eyes were on Kohli when he walked out to the middle, his gait displaying not the slightest hint of nervousness or trepidation.
Early on, Kohli was squared up, the leading edge racing away to the third-man fence, but that would be the only boundary he scored on the day.
Reprising his first-innings delivery Ngidi got a ball to come back in sharply to Kohli, and this time the pitch could not be blamed for the wicket, sheer pace beating Kohli’s inside edge and crashing into pad.
Kohli reviewed even as Cheteshwar Pujara didn't appear too confident and when the three reds flashed on the screen, most of India’s hopes of a historic run chase seemed to leave the playing arena.
