Resuming the session at 21/1, Mohammad Shami struck immediately, removing Keegan Petersen for 15. Four overs later, Shami bowled Markram with a beauty. In between, India had a bit of a scare when Jasprit Bumrah twisted his ankle and went off the field.

Mohammad Siraj removed Rassie Van der Dussen for three to reduce South Africa for 4/32. Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma rebuilt the innings with a crucial 72-run stand in 134 balls. 

De Kock was looking good for his 34 but Shardul Thakur broke through his stumps to give India a much-needed breakthrough just before the Tea was called.
