On Day 2, South Africa bowled brilliantly in the morning to dismiss India for 280. They then lost Alviro Petersen early to Ishant Sharma.
Ishant bowled a superb length, getting the ball to cut back off the seam to dismiss Peterson leg before wicket.
Captain Graeme Smith and Hashim Amla added 93 runs for the second wicket but India then roared back into the game with the three pacers blowing away the middle order taking 5 wickets for 16 runs.
In a six-over spell after tea, the Indian pace attack of Ishant, Zaheer Khan and Mohammed Shami took five top-order South African wickets to change the course of the game. Chasing India's first innings total of 280, South Africa, from being 130/1, were reduced to 146/6.
The Wanderers pitch has a bit of the WACA bounce, but what did the job for Ishant was the length. He hit the right length and got the ball to dart back, something that used to be his strength when he started off and was rewarded with the wickets of Amla and Jacques Kallis off successive deliveries.
Getting Amla to shoulder arms and knock his stump over is a rarity and trapping Kallis leg before wicket for a first ball duck was the icing on the cake.
Ishant and Zaheer gave Smith a torrid time, just that the South African captain survived despite getting those inside and outside edges before falling leg before wicket to Zaheer.
Shami, too, made the ball talk in that phase, inducing an edge off JP Duminy to be caught at slips. AB de Villiers' wicket was the real big one - he too failed to counter the swing of Shami and was trapped in front.
