Thakur in the attack now, he starts with a widish ball but it has no pace and bounce and Bavuma gets an inside edge just past the stumps for a single to fine leg.
Next ball is wide down the leg side as India fielders go up for the caught behind. That was a front foot no ball and the free-hit next ball is a full toss that de Kock plays straight to mid-on. Wasted chance that.
A dot later, de Kock comes down the track and plays the ball straight down the ground for a single.
Bavuma then clips the ball behind square for a single.
