Harmer to Washington Sundar, out Caught by Markram!! Finally the resistance of Washington Sundar ends. Beautiful bowling. On a length outside off and slower, turns away, Sundar pushes at it with an open face, that was the problem, the turn takes the outside-edge and lands in first slip's hands. Easy catch and Harmer runs away in delight. Sundar looked so solid but a single mistake and that's it. He's gone. A wicket just before the 2nd new-ball. South Africa will be very happy.

A short ball by Harmer and Sai Sudharsan pulls it powerfully towards the fielder stationed there. Rickelton tries to grab it towards his left, but the ball pops out from his hands.

End of a good knock by Jaiswal, but India wanted more from him as they still trail by a huge margin of 394 runs.
