India failed to fully exploit the seaming conditions as South Africa recovered from two early jolts to reach 232 for four on the opening day and leave the crucial third cricket Test evenly poised on Sunday.
Put into bat in overcast conditions which suit seam bowlers, South Africa lost both openers quickly but relied on Jacques Kallis (81 batting) to guide them to a far more comfortable position at stumps on a rain-truncated day.
Ashwell Prince was giving Kallis company on 28 when the stumps were drawn after an extended final session at Newlands.
