Sehwag and Sachin were the stars today when they outplayed South African bowling with their brilliant batting performances. Sehwag scored 165 while Sachin scored 106. Their partnership of 249 runs was an absolute treat to watch. Sehwag scored his 19th test hundred while Sachin scored his 47th test century. This was Sachin's fourth century in as many matches. Once India were cruising well on 331 for two but few quick wickets saw India at stumps with 342 for 5.
Earlier today South Africa added 30 valuable runs to their overnight score of 266 and ended their first innings on 296 all out. India now lead by 46 runs and a good batting display tomorrow can strengthen India's position in this test match.

Virendar Sehwag: It’s the best ODI innings I’ve played
Indian opener Virender Sehwag described his match-winning blistering 102-ball 146 in the first ODI against Sri Lanka as his best knock in one-day internationals.
"It is my best knock in one-day internationals. It is better than the 130 I made earlier," the Delhi dasher said in the post-match press conference after India beat Sri Lanka by three runs.
"When Tendulkar and I were batting we thought we could reach 350 as the wicket was that good. But then when I and MS Dhoni got together to raise the 300 in the 32nd over we felt we could get 400," he said.
"I could not have won the match alone. It was a team effort," he declared.
A modest Sehwag also did not agree to suggestions that his batting was as destructive as that West Indian legend Vivian Richards.
"I don't think I am anywhere near Sachin or Vivian Richards. It's you media people who are making this up," he said.
