Ashwin's haul took him past 150 wickets in just his 29th Test, reaching the milestone faster than both Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan.

His 13th Test five-for included the prized scalp of Hashim Amla, who was dismissed by a freakish stumping via wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha's chest.

AB de Villiers made 63 for South Africa as the tourists finished their first innings 17 runs behind the hosts.
