Bumrah took a wicket in the very first of the day, scalping David Bedingham to drive away from the body and pick off the back of wicketkeeper KL Rahul.

Despite South Africa finding runs through streaky boundaries, Bumrah had another scalp when Kyle Verreynne attempted to pull a ball from short length but cleared out to mid-on. But Markram had other ideas on a tricky pitch and played a beautiful drive off Mukesh Kumar to reach fifty.

He lofted and cut Mohammed Siraj for two fours, and was reprieved on 73 when Rahul dropped a simple catch. Markram liked Prasidh Krishna and dismissed him for two fours and two sixes in over for twenty runs.

Markram then hit back-to-back fours off Bumrah to reach a scintillating century, dedicating the hundred to his captain Dean Elgar, who cheered in the dressing room. His brilliant stroke was ended by Siraj as he misjudged the slog to long-on, where captain Rohit Sharma took the catch and threw the ball into the ground in frustration.

In the next over, Kagiso Rabada hit the ball straight to middle against Prasidh and Nandre Burger, along with Lungi Ngidi adding 14 runs for the final wicket, before Bumrah slipped the latter to third to extend South Africa’s lead 78 to keep and take over. his sixth scalp of the innings.
