New Delhi: India were 547/4 at lunch on the fourth day of the first test against South Africa at the M A Chidambaram stadium in Chennai, with Rahul Dravid just one run short of his century and V V S Laxman on personal score of six at the crease. Dravid also completed the hall of scoring 10,000 runs in Test cricket becoming only the third Indian to fall into this bracket. Earlier, resuming the day from overnight score of 468/1, India lost the crucial wicket of Virender Sehwag who failed to continue his third day magic and was dismissed by Ntini at 319, adding just 10 runs to his overnight score. After, Sehwag's dismissal, the Proteas capitalised upon the chance and took Sachin Tendulkar's wicket for a duck. Saurav Ganguly also did not contribute much with the bat and was out for 24 by Harris. Yet to bat are Mahendra Singh Dhoni, skipper Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, RP Singh and S Sreesanth. Earlier South Africa scored 540 in their first innings with HM Amla being the top scorer at 159 runs.
