Skipper Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane led India's second innings resurgence after pacer Morne Morkel had struck early blows for South Africa at tea on the third day of the fourth and final cricket Test at the Ferozeshah Kotla Stadium here on Saturday.
Coming together when the hosts were reeling at 57/4 Kohli and Rahane produced a 59-run partnership to take India to 116/4 at tea.
Right-arm paceman Morkel returned figures of 3/22.
