Despite both of them batting in the top four, there have been few significant partnerships between the role model and the maverick follower. Tendulkar has shared a remarkable 17 century stands with Rahul Dravid, and 12 with Sourav Ganguly. With Sehwag, this was only his fourth. Yet, on the rare occasions when they do bat together, the opposition usually has cause to regret it. Of the Indian pairs that have batted more than 10 innings together, Sehwag and Tendulkar have an average (75.22) behind Tendulkar and Navjot Singh Sidhu (77.81) and Pankaj Roy and Vijay Manjrekar (76.18).

Seeds of doubt seldom germinate in the Sehwag mind though. After lunch, it was as though he had started again with a clean slate. Kallis was clipped through square leg, while Dale Steyn - who claimed to have worked him out before the series began - was cut and then stroked through midwicket. Paul Harris was watched for a few deliveries before the slog sweep came out and deposited the ball over the rope at deep midwicket.

At the other end, Tendulkar was doing what he does so well these days, nudging the score along almost imperceptibly. A guide behind point and a superb square-drive off Steyn, and beautifully timed clips through midwicket off Morkel and Harris. As Corrie van Zyl, South Africa's coach admitted afterwards, it was all very unsettling, especially with the typically vocal Kolkata crowd roaring on their heroes.
