It was an even day for both the sides , India was in the driving seat till Dhoni played a silly shot and was out stumped . But it was Dada who played a superb knock under pressure on an uneven bounce pitch . He was the ninth wicket to go with 87 on his name with the help of 9 fours and a six . Useful contributions were made my Laxman(50) , Yuvraj(32) , Dhoni(32) and dravid(29) . At the end of the day , India had a merge lead of 23 runs with no. 10 & 11 on the crease .Morkel and Steyn took 3 wickets each. From South Africa's point of view they would like to wrap off the Indian innings as soon as possible tommorow and will try to post a challenging total in their 2nd innings
