Virender
Sehwag's introduction in the bowling this afternoon was
instrumental in seeing a rapid finish to the third and final
Test on the third day itself. Sehwag produced a couple of
magic deliveries that broke the resistance of Jacques Kallis
and Graeme Smith and after that the rest of the South Africa
batting in their second innings fell to pieces on a
difficult track.

The
third and final Test at the Green Park is tantalizingly
poised with both sides placed in an equally good and bad
position. At stumps on the second day, India's first innings
has had a similar story to that of the South Africans. The
only difference is that they are 23 runs ahead of South
Africa's 265 and have got the last wicket in hand.

South Africa for 265 on the first day of the third and final
Test at Kanpur. On a wicket that was tailor-made for
spinners, the Indian team came good after a worrying start
this morning. The onus is now on the batsmen to grab the
initiative that has been provided by a bowling attack that
was without the leader - Anil Kumble.
