India still have the upper-hand after day three of their opening Test against South Africa.

The tourists ended the day's play on 385 for 8 in response to India's mammoth first innings score of 502 for 7. 

Opener Dean Elgar and wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock both made centuries. 

However they're still 117 runs behind with just two wickets in hand.

Day four from Visakhapatnam gets underway at 8:00 am UAE time on Saturday.
