India bowled out South Africa for 275 to take a massive 326-run first innings lead on day three of the second Test, in Pune on Saturday.
The umpires declared end of day's play immediately after Kagiso Rabada was trapped in front of wicket by spinner R. Ashwin.
South Africa began the day at 36 for three but a rearguard action through Keshav Maharaj (72) and Vernon Philander (44) helped them cross the 250-run mark.
