Dean Elgar's unbeaten 140 at the start of the first Test between South Africa and India gave them a commanding lead of 256-5 in 66 overs before poor visibility caused play to end early on the second day. South Africa now leads by 11 runs after India's first-inning total of 245 all out. After this two-Test series, Elgar, who has declared that he will retire from international cricket, demonstrated his batting prowess by scoring his 14th Test century with 23 boundaries from 211 deliveries. With 56 runs, rookie David Bedingham had an impact as well.
