Steyn and McKenzie cap South Africa’s day
South Africa 540 and 131 for 1 (McKenzie 59*) lead India 627 (Sehwag 319, Dravid 111, Steyn 4-103) by 44 runs
There was a 25th century and 10,000 Test runs for Rahul Dravid and a large crowd to celebrate, but little else went India’s way at Chepauk as a rejuvenated South African side dominated the fourth day’s play. Makhaya Ntini, given a pasting by Virender Sehwag on Friday, led the revival with a vastly improved spell and Dale Steyn’s pace then proved far too much for the tail to handle as the Indian lead was restricted to just 87. Faced with a potentially tricky session of batting, South Africa responded with aplomb, finishing the day 44 ahead with nine wickets in hand.
