Subramaniam Badrinath was bowled by a superb Steyn off-cutter that knocked back the off pole and VVS Laxman flashed at one off Harris that flew past slip for four, before bad light ended proceedings for the day, with the match fascinatingly poised.
And they were initially rewarded when on-loan Surrey left-hander Newman was lbw playing forward to a ball that nipped back, Wood edged to gully and Wagh was bowled by an off-cutter.
