South Africa go into the final day on 94/4. India needs six wickets to claim victory. Dean Elgar continues to play a captain's knock on 52 not out.

He was joined in the middle by nightwatchman Keshav Maharaj who was dismissed of the last ball of the day.

Maharaj made his way to the middle after Rassie Van der Dussen was beautifully bowled by Jasprit Bumrah twenty minutes before the close of play. Bumrah then produced another beauty to get rid of Maharaj.
