Late in the day, a length ball from Shardul Thakur rolled through at shin-height, but Elgar stooped low enough to keep it out. Bumrah then yorked Keshav Maharaj, the nightwatchman, off what turned out to be the last ball of the day. Shami, who excelled with a five-wicket bag on day three, got the new ball along with Bumrah, ahead of Siraj. Thakur, India's nightwatchman, was the first to be dismissed on day four, also undone by irregular bounce off the bowling of Rabada. Rahul, India's first-innings centurion, continued to show impeccable judgement outside off , before Lungi Ngidi found extra bounce and removed him.
