Philander destroyed India
The tail-ender deflects the ball towards short fine for a single off the second legal delivery.
India finally managed to get a breakthrough in the third over after the break and it came from the off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (3-90), who had Elgar caught at silly point and despite starting the innings with caution, Amla (82) slowly settled in.
India showed their resilience with the ball after they took three wickets in quick succession in the last session to peg back the hosts on the first day of the second Test in Centurion on Saturday. More than four years after that Wanderers debacle, Ashwin found a pitch that gave him some turn, and he has not just kept India alive but in partnership with Hardik Pandya he has given India the upper hand despite losing the toss and watching their main fast bowlers give away runs like millionaires.
Whichever way South Africa decide to go in their set-up, their fast bowlers will remain their major asset as they look to wrap up the series.
Indian bowler Hardik Pandya.
It looks like a really lively pitch‚ which is exactly what we wanted it to be‚ Kohli said.
# A great crowd at SuperSport Park. The hosts have not lost at this venue since 2014. The impressive performances of Khan, Ashish Nehra and Javagal Srinath powered India into the final of the 2003 World Cup in South Africa. But then, he was also seen working on his slip catching. Another positive would be the fearless and bold selection of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who showed his daredevilry and panache, took the attack to the opposition and came out all guns blazing against strong South African attack. People need to apply themselves much better, whether you are playing five batsmen or six.

Donald Trump 'scraps plans to open United Kingdom embassy'
In Washington, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump's comment was exclusively about an embassy-related visit. Relations between the USA and its closest ally have been tested repeatedly since Trump took office nearly a year ago.
Most importantly, Elgar is still there and should be hopeful to continue to build a platform as the Indian attack tires in the heat.
"You can't just stand there and take whatever is coming your way and not have intent", Kohli said after his team were beaten by 72 runs in the first Test in Cape Town. Instead they must harness the art of controlling the pace quartet.
Left-handed opener Shikhar Dhawan fell to short-pitched deliveries in both innings and there is an argument for Lokesh Rahul to take his place, while Ajinkya Rahane must be a contender to replace Rohit Sharma at No. 5.
Though the less flamboyant ones, Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara also failed, they are trusted to in these conditions, especially the dogged Saurashtra right-hander.
After Virat Kohli made a decision to drop Bhuvneshwar Kumar from the playing XI in the Centurion test, the caravan of slamming from fans and the cricket fraternity continues.
South Africa: Faf du Plessis (Captain), Hashim Amla, Temba Bavuma, Theunis de Bruyn, Quinton de Kock (wicket-keeper), AB de Villiers, Dean Elgar, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, Morne Morkel, Chris Morris, Andile Phehlukwayo, Vernon Philander, Kagiso Rabada.
