Ganguly fires
Earlier, former India captain Sourav Ganguly scored his 26th Test fifty and put on a 44-run partnership with VRV Singh to lead India to 249 runs in their first innings.
The duo put on 44 runs from just 5.5 overs and Ganguly, who had walked into the middle after the fall of Rahul Dravid?s wicket on Friday, remained unbeaten on 51 ? the top scorer for India.
His 101-ball knock included four boundaries and a pulled six off Makhaya Ntini. No. 11 batsman VRV Singh also chanced his arm after arriving to the crease with the score reading 204 for nine.
He was caught by Shaun Pollock off his own bowling for 29 runs, which included six hits to the ropes.
Resuming on the overnight score of 156 for five, India lost early wickets.
Dhoni, overnight on naught, made just five before he was brilliantly caught by Pollock. The bowler dived full length at extra cover to hold on to a one-handed blinder to give Makhaya Ntini the wicket.
Anil Kumble (6) was the next to go, caught at slip by Jacques Kallis off a Andre Nel delivery.
Shaun Pollock then picked up two wickets in a single over. He first trapped Zaheer Khan lbw for 9 and then had Sreesanth caught by Hashim Amla for a duck
