40.3
Jadeja to Bavuma, no run, a big shout for LBW, but RJ is bowling from over the wicket and this might've pitched outside leg. But India have reviewed - did look straight, but where did it pitch? Bavuma was shaping for the sweep and was struck on the back-thigh.

30.4
Jadeja to Bavuma, no run, half-an-appeal for LBW, but looks like Bavuma has under-edged one onto his helmet, went down low on the sweep and couldn't connect it cleanly - the physio lumbers out to have a look
30.3
Jadeja to Marco Jansen, 1 run, ugly, Jansen is looking to play his shots and he's getting away for now - swipes across the line, gets a thick outside edge and the ball lobs wide of Axar at backward point - RJ did see it coming, slowed down the pace and got it to spin away from Jansen's hitting area

23
W
Jadeja to Stubbs, out Bowled!! That's an absolute corker, poor Stubbs could've done very little - he looks back in disblief as he walks back to the pavilion - RJ came from slightly wide of the crease, gets it to drift in and then rips past Stubbs's outside edge before hitting the top of off-stump - the right-hander was back in the crease and seemed to have covered the angle, but RJ is just too good, especially in the 2nd innings and this is a massive wicket in the context of the match. Stubbs b Jadeja 5(18)

19
4
Jadeja to Bavuma, FOUR, that's more like it from the South African captain. They have got to figure out a way to score. He gets low, fetches it from outside off and nails the sweep through square leg. Large vacant spaces there and it runs away to the boundary

16.4

16.3
W
Jadeja to Mulder, out Caught by Pant!! And just when you say Mulder is looking assured, he gets one that he can do nothing about. Leaps at him off a good length, there's some turn too, and he gloves it to the keeper. Unplayable from Jadeja. Mulder c Pant b Jadeja 11(30) [4s-1]

14.5
4

12.2
Jadeja to Mulder, 1 run, knocks it wide of cover
12.1
Jadeja to Mulder, no run, opened up completely as the ball turns square from leg stump. Big puff of dust as Jadeja fires it in on a good length. Mulder is turned inside out in defence before getting hit on the back leg. Maybe too high, and maybe pitched outside leg too
11
Jadeja to Bavuma, no run, darted in full on leg, Bavuma knocks it into the on-side
10.5
Jadeja to Bavuma, no run, appeal for caught-behind, or is it for a stumping? Either way, it's not out. A length ball that rips past Bavuma's forward defence. It's all happening
10.4
Jadeja to Mulder, 1 run, now because Mulder is playing nicely on the front foot, Jadeja pulls his length back and ends up overcompensating. Allows him to cut it from the crease to deep point

W
Jadeja to Markram, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! A very awkward looking sweep shot from Markram and he's gone! Almost seemed like an afterthought to go for it. Fired in full, he doesn't bend his knees enough, goes through the shot early and it pops up off the toe-end. Jurel does well to keep his eyes on it. Wasn't a very difficult chance but just to keep his eyes on the ball was important because short-leg fielders generally take evasive action when they see batters sweeping. Markram c Dhruv Jurel b Jadeja 4(23)
8.1
Jadeja to Markram, no run, slow and floated up on off, dips on a good length, turns sharply and Markram gets a thick edge on the drive. It goes on a couple of bounces to backward point. Interesting that Jadeja starts with slowing one up
