Du Plessis gets a lifeline as KL Rahul fails to hold on to a very difficult chance at leg slip. That came off the inside edge as du Plessis tries to flick but the inside edge went too quickly for Rahul standing close.

Shami bowls a wonderful over and is unlucky three balls in a row. Left-hander Quinton de Kock throws his bat at a wide one but it flies past the lone slip fielder for a four.

The left-hander looks to clip the next ball through the leg side and this time the edge goes in the gap between wicketkeeper and the first slip fielder for a four.

No stopping de Kock from flashing at wide ones as he has another go but again gets the edge which goes past the second slip for the third four in a row.

Shami is finally rewarded for his persistence. This time the edge goes straight to wicketkeeper Parthiv, who pouches it easily to his left.

De Kock walks back for 12 as Shami picks up his third wicket of the morning to bring India back in the contest.

South Africa are 164 for five in 48 overs for an overall lead of 192 runs.
