Yadav to bowl the first over after the tea break. Bavuma looks to pull the first ball, which is short, but gets an inside edge on to the pads. He has looked to play a few shots in between but Amla has been unmoved so far.

It's 40 runs from 40 overs before Amla finally decides to open his shoulders, driving a half-volley from Ashwin through the covers for a boundary, his first after a long wait of 115 deliveries.

Bavuma plays another reckless pull shot off a bouncer from Yadav, getting a top edge which goes for a four through fine leg.

Ashwin bowling a beautiful line and length as Amla gets an inside edge, but it is too quick for the fielder at short leg. That was leg spinner bowled by Ashwin and he got some extra bounce on it.

He strikes with the next delivery and it is the off-spinning delivery, beating Bavuma's defences to bowl him for 34 from 117 balls, after he had batted for 38.4 overs for the second wicket with Amla while scoring just 44 runs.
