Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have put India in control against South Africa at tea on day one of the second Test in Bangalore.
Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to field, and his side made the first breakthrough when Ashwin trapped Stiaan van Zyl in front of his stumps for 10.
Francois du Plessis lasted just three balls, departing in the same over, as he was caught by Cheteshwar Pujara to leave his team 15-2.
Dean Elgar and Hashim Amla managed to calm proceedings for seven overs before Amla was bowled by Varun Aaron for seven.
Jadeja was introduced into the attack by Kohli and the decision paid dividends when he dismissed Elgar.
The combination of Ashwin and Jadeja proved fatal for Jean-Paul Duminy and Dane Vilas as both players departed for 15.
Skipper AB de Villiers offered the only resistance as he blasted his way to a half-century, but he was to fall on the stroke of tea, becoming Jadeja's third victim, just 15 runs short of a ton.
Kyle Abbott and Kagiso Rabada will be at the crease when South Africa resume their innings for the evening session on 177-7.
