After taking a battering for two days, India finally put up some resistance with a solid start to their second innings on Saturday, the third day of what has largely been a one-sided contest. Openers Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag put on 137 but both men were out before the close. Faced with a massive first innings deficit of 484 runs, India reached 190 for two before bad light stopped play. South Africa earlier piled up 620 for four declared, with Jacques Kallis hitting 201 not out and AB de Villiers racing to the country's fastest Test hundred. For Kallis, it removed one of the few blots on an otherwise outstanding Test career record. "It's nice to tick that box off but now we just need to complete the win," said Kallis. "They're not the number one side in the world for nothing. We don't expect them to fall down and it's going to be hard work tomorrow. But if you had to choose which change room you would rather be in, it would obviously be ours. It's going to be very hard for them to come back from this position." Kallis, fifth on the all-time Test run-scorers list, was the only player in the top 15 not to have converted at least one century into a double. It was his 38th hundred in his 143rd Test match. Spectators on the packed grass banks roared their approval when Kallis glanced Jaidev Unadkat to the fine leg boundary to reach the elusive landmark. Kallis removed his helmet, looked to the skies, hugged batting partner De Villiers and acknowledged the applause with a broad smile. De Villiers made a spectacular 129 off 112 balls. He raced to his century off 74 balls with 11 fours and five sixes, beating the previous fastest, shared by Denis Lindsay, Jonty Rhodes and Shaun Pollock, by 21 balls. It was an extraordinary innings by De Villiers, who in his previous Test match scored a South African record 278 not out against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi last month. De Villiers played a dazzling array of strokes, from sweetly-timed drives and delicate cuts to reverse sweeps and fearless slog-sweeps over fielders placed on the mid-wicket boundary. He reached his 12th Test century with two successive hits for six off part-time spinner Suresh Raina. Kallis, who had shared a third wicket stand of 230 with Hashim Amla (140), was content to be the supportive partner as De Villiers went on the rampage in a fourth wicket stand of 224 off 226 balls. "It was fantastic," said Kallis. "It took the pressure off me and I could just knock it around. It was one of the best knocks I have seen. It was an absolute honour to stand on the other side and watch it." Yet Kallis scored at a rapid rate by Test standards, reaching his double century off 267 balls with 15 fours and five sixes. It was a humiliating morning and early afternoon for India, ranked number one in Test cricket, as they conceded 225 runs off 36 overs in an extended morning's play and 254 off 43.1 overs before the declaration. India recovered some pride during the Gambhir-Sehwag stand, although Sehwag gave a hard chance to Hashim Amla at short cover off Lonwabo Tsotsobe when he had 34 and Gambhir survived two chances, with Alviro Petersen at point putting him down off both Steyn and Morkel when he had 43 and 62. Sehwag made 63 before he fell in typical style, lofting left-arm spinner Paul Harris to wide mid-off, where Graeme Smith took a good running catch. Gambhir made 80 before Dale Steyn trapped him leg before with a ball which cut back and kept a bit low. Gambhir said India were determined not to give up. "It's a matter of hanging in there and taking it session by session. It's about saving a Test match for the country.
