All roads may lead to Rome, but all paths at SuperSport Park seemed to lead straight back to the Indian dressing room on a fourth day's play that might have been India's but ended with South Africa in near complete control of the second Test. Chasing 287 for victory, India's top order was cut to ribbons. Murali Vijay was the first to go, a pacy ball from Kagiso Rabada keeping low and crashing into the stumps via the bottom inside edge of the bat. The ball keeping low, when it is delivered from such a high point, at pace, is next to unplayable when it is on the stumps, but the next two wickets that fell had nothing to do with a surface that Morne Morkel had called "100 per cent India."
