Welcome back to the post lunch session on Day 5. Senuran Muthusamy and Dane Piedt are out in the middle to resume for South Africa. Ravindra Jadeja has the ball in hand.
Lunch Break!
Ravindra Jadeja (4/51) and Mohammed Shami (3/21) wreaked havoc in the morning session as India were just two wickets away from winning the first Test against South Africa in Vizag. Resuming on their overnight score of 11/1, South Africa were 117/8 at lunch as their batting collapsed on a Day-5 pitch. Ravichandran Ashwin opened the flood gates, removing Theunis de Bruyn for 10. Shami then took over and cleaned up Temba Bavuma (0), Faf du Plessis(13) and Quinton de Kock (0) in quick succession. Jadeja then made excellent use of the turning track and produced a sensational three-wicket over that sent Aiden Markram, Vernon Philander and Keshav Maharaj packing. Senuran Muthusamy and Dane Piedt showed some resistance down the order as both stitched a fighting 47-run partnership and were unbeaten at the break. India will gain 40 World Test Championship points after winning the Vizag Test.
And, it's lunch on Day 5. Senuran Muthusamy and Dane Piedt survive the onslaught from India bowlers.

Lunch time update: India skipper Virat Kohli has requested another 15 minutes after scheduled lunch time, which is 11:30 am. And umpires have agreed to the request. If another wicket falls in the next 15 minutes, lunch will be further pushed by 30 minutes. SA 104/8 after 37 overs.
End of 36th over: Tight comeback over from Mohammed Shami comes to an end. Just a bye from it. Ravindra Jadeja will continue from the other end. SA 95/9

26.1 overs: OUT! Ravindra Jadeja takes an absolute one-handed stunner off his own bowling to get rid of Aiden Markram.

Pitch Report, Day 5: "It's rather low and slow, but it'll still be a good wicket to bat on. Not exactly a minefield for the batsmen. India's batting on this pitch in the second innings was an exhibition of the runs one can score if only one applies himself. South Africa need to show a lot of gumption and determination to survive the day," said Sunil Gavaskar.
9:05 am: Earlier, both teams had a quick warm up ahead of final day's play.
