Turnabout is fair play -- freak runout of VVSL gives South Africa huge opening

3 balls to go for the new ball, and SRT on 94* is keen to get to his ton.  He steps out to Harris and drives powerfully -- technically it is a catch, but Harris puts his hand up in self defense as the ball threatens to cut him in half -- and it richochets off his hand right onto the stumps to catch a hapless Laxman out of his ground.
Tendulkar sticks his tongue out and makes a wry grimace.

The Test is wide open.  Kallis' dismissal was key to India's revival in T2 -- will the same happen here?

Pujara walks in to face the second new ball, with 2 overs left for lunch.  Steyn continues where he left off, beating Pujara with a pearler that swings away at pace, in an action replay of his first ball of the day.

But, Morkel still bowling too short and too wide.  India has 4 balls to see out, and Smith crowds Pujara with SEVEN close in fielders!!  But he survives.
