Bumrah to Ngidi, OUT, maiden five-for! He completes it with a short ball down leg, which Ngidi gloves through to the wicketkeeper. Parthiv takes a fine catch, running to his left and then putting in the dive.

Bumrah to Phehlukwayo, OUT, strikes him on the full in front of leg and he's gone. But Phehlukwayo has reviewed. A Bumrah full toss. And it's a pretty devastating full toss too. Fast, swinging in just enough that the batsman's flick shot is of little use. HawkEye returns three reds

Mohammed Shami to Morkel, no run, good bouncer, on middle and off, following Morkel, pushing him off his feet and nearly mangling his face. Shami hasn't got the good length ball going, but digging it halfway down seems to be getting him into rhythm
Dushyanth: "One of those sessions which gives India 'a winning chance'. All 3 tests, India have had these sessions, which is quite promising compared to their previous tours. If only the 'team-selection' &'preparation' was on track, a series win was definitely on."

Mohammed Shami to Phehlukwayo, 1 run, works a short ball on middle through midwicket. Good stuff from Phehlukwayo. He'll steal the strike next over if Morkel can survive this last ball

Mohammed Shami to Phehlukwayo, FOUR, past mid-off! Another perfectly good length ball is treated with utter disdain. A strong stride forward, straight bat on show and plenty of power in the drive.

WATCH - Vernon Philander is bounced out, sharp catch by Bumrah (India subcontinent and parts of the UAE only).
Gustav: "and off just 5 deliveries, Morkel has scored more than 5 of South Africa's top 6 (not counting Rabada as top 6)" --- They had to deal with the new ball and fresh bowlers.

Bumrah to Morkel, no run, bouncer on leg stump, Morkel tries to hook it away, past leg gully, but there is just too much bounce to middle these shots. Morkel gets hit on the left index finger and needs treatment

Bumrah to Morkel, FOUR, that's the lead! And what a shot to bring it up. An on-the-up-on-drive against an express fast bowler. High front elbow. Decent stride forward. Laughs in the dressing room

Bumrah to Morkel, no run, short again, angling it across the left-hander. Morkel is taking evasive action and only just pulls it off

Mohammed Shami to Phehlukwayo, FOUR, ferocious slap through cover! These are the shots batsmen dream of playing on a pitch like this. Against a fast bowler charging in. Width on offer helps. And Phehlukwayo goes full-blooded at it

Mohammed Shami to Morkel, 1 run, fends off a scary bouncer, climbing all the way up towards his nose, and this is Morne Morkel we're talking about. Parthiv is half interested as he runs and dives to his right but he can't get there
India still lead by 12. Any lead is precious on this pitch

Mohammed Shami to Philander, OUT, superbly judged catch at long leg! Bumrah's the man, watching the ball intently, moving to his right simultaneously and taking a big pressure catch. The bouncer works and Shami finally has something in the wickets column. Gets it to climb high enough so when the batsman goes for a hook, he can't really control the shot because the ball keeps getting big on him. Top edge results and a good catch seals the exciting passage of play
