Kuldeep Yadav to Ngidi, out Lbw!! Finally Kuldeep's pleas are heard and obliged. He didn't need to convince Rahul or Rohit this time, umpire Madanagopal was convinced and that's what matters. After a couple of googlies, he slips in the conventional leg-break, the ball spins in and beats the inside edge as Ngidi prods forward to defend, struck right in front of the stumps and ball-tracking shows it to be clipping the top of leg-stump. Two balls left - can Kuldeep get a 5-fer? Ngidi lbw b Kuldeep Yadav 1(10)
44.3
Kuldeep Yadav to Ngidi, no run, another wrong 'un and Ngidi does not pick it, he leans forward to block and the ball spins past the outside edge
44.2
Kuldeep Yadav to Ngidi, no run, appeal for LBW. Once again a chat between Kuldeep, Rahul and Rohit. They don't take the review. Googly and Ngidi has no clue, defends down the wrong line and is beaten on the outside edge, struck on the back thigh. Height was an issue

42.5
Kuldeep Yadav to Ngidi, no run, appeal for LBW. Rohit asks Kuldeep to go back to his mark. The latter is almost pleading but the former is not having any of it, keeps gesturing to go back. Spinning in and Ngidi plays all around it, misses the forward block and is rapped on the pads. The spin was taking it down leg
42.4
Kuldeep Yadav to Ngidi, no run, floated up and the length is too full, Ngidi defends it back down the pitch

Kuldeep Yadav to Corbin Bosch, out Caught&Bowled!! Soft dismissal! That's a big wicket for India. Bosch was South Africa's last hope to go past 300 and he too departs. Third wicket for Kuldeep. He hangs on and kisses the ball. The googly and it stops, jumps and catches the splice of the bat, Bosch pushes with hard hands and the ball lobs back to Kuldeep. This is the difference between day-time batting and night-time batting - dew helps the ball come onto the bat under lights whereas here the ball is stopping and not coming on. Corbin Bosch c and b Kuldeep Yadav 9(12)

Well deserved wicket for Kuldeep. 83.5kph, wrong 'un wide of off, Brevis gets down on one leg to play the pre-empted slogsweep. The length was full enough on this occasion but the line was wider and he was hitting against the spin. Big top-edge and the ball goes a long way up in the air. Rohit comes in from midwicket, calls for it in the process, settles under the skier to gobble it safely. Brevis c Rohit b Kuldeep Yadav 29(29) [4s-2 6s-1]
