The third day of the first Test between India and South Africa, which is being played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, has started. With the help of Captain Temba Bavuma's fighting half-century, South Africa scored 153 runs in the second innings and set a target of 124 runs for India. While this target appears to be very small, it will not be easy for the Indian team to achieve it, given the conditions at Eden Gardens.
