3rd Test: India in command after rain plays spoilsport on Day 2

Bad light brought about an early end to the second day's play in the third and final Test between India and South Africa on Sunday.

Poor visibility meant the India players walked back to the dressing room barely five overs into the South African first innings after the tea break.

India declared their first innings at 497 for nine after Rohit Sharma struck his maiden double century in Tests and Ajinkya Rahane his first hundred at home in three years.

Stumper Wriddhiman Saha (24) was castled by Linde while Ravichandran Ashwin managed 14 before Umesh plundered five sixes in his entertaining cameo to take the total close to 500.

South Africa were nine for two with both their openers Quinton de Kock and Dean Elgar dismissed.
