Ngidi to Kuldeep Yadav, out Caught by Bavuma!! A back-pedalling Bavuma holds onto a screamer and India are losing their way now. Was another slower ball from Ngidi - Kuldeep was early into the lofted drive, chipped it lamely and over extra-cover, Bavuma ran back, kept his eyes on the ball and completed a tumbling catch.

Ngidi to Thakur, out Caught by Maharaj!!
