"Tendulkar counters inspired spell by Steyn
By Ken Borland
CAPE TOWN, Jan 4 (Reuters) - Sachin Tendulkar effectively countered an inspired new ball spell from Dale Steyn to take India closer to South Africa's first innings total on the third day of the third and deciding test on Tuesday.
Tendulkar had reached 136 not out, his 51st test century, in India's 316 for six in reply to South Africa's 362 at tea. The series is tied 1-1.
Steyn struck immediately after lunch when he trapped Cheteshwar Pujara (2) lbw with an unplayable delivery that pitched on leg stump and then swung away late to hit the batsman on the back pad.
He was quick to follow up with the wicket of Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who edged another fine away swinger to be caught at third slip for a duck.
The world's number one ranked bowler should also have disposed of Harbhajan Singh when another fantastic delivery had the batsman groping to no avail as the ball swung into off stump. But to one nation's dismay and another's joy, the bails somehow failed to fall and Harbhajan had an unlikely reprieve on six.
Steyn was rested after a brilliant spell of two for three in seven overs and the threat eased for India's batsmen. Tendulkar and Harbhajan (34 not out) had added 69 by tea. "
