Ranchi: Indian bowlers picked up four wickets in the first session of Day 3, Third Test as South Africa were reduced to 129/6 at lunch.
Umesh Yadav had dismissed Proteas skipper Faf du Plessis on the very fifth ball of the day with one peach of a delivery which landed on a good length and deviated inside to knock out the top of off stump.
However, Zubayr Hamza and Temba Bavuma stitched on a 91-run partnership to ensure South Africa provide some sort of resistance. Zubayr, meanwhile, reached to his maiden ODI fifty before Ravindra Jadeja knocked down Hamza's stumps.
The very next over, Shahbaz Nadeem bagged his maiden Test wicket as he outfoxed Temba Bavuma to get him stumped. Soon Jadeja wreaked havoc on the South Africans by dismissing Heinrich Klaasen with a peach of a delivery.
Presently, Dane Piedt and George Linde are present at the crease with the visitors trailing by 368 runs.
