Temba Bavuma (31 not out) and Wiaan Mulder (4) will try to get South Africa closer to India’s score in the elongated evening session after day two was washed out by rain. Mohammed Shami (2-16) was excellent with his line and length, and bowled both Keegan Petersen (15) and Aiden Markram (13) with excellent deliveries as South Africa were left teetering on 32 for four. Seamer Lungi Ngidi had earlier taken 6-71 as South Africa made light work of bowling India out on the third morning. Ngidi, who took a career-best 6-39 on debut against India at Centurion in 2018, helped South Africa claim the last seven Indian wickets for the addition of only 55 runs. Bumrah (14) was the last man out, providing a first test wicket for 21-year-old debutant seamer Marco Jansen.
