DROPPED! Shami gives Elgar a life. It was hit back to the bowler, almost loopy but somehow Shami failed to hold on. Huge miss.

Siraj replaces Shami. Kohli ringing in the changes. SA have made a bright start on Day 5. India have had a chance but they messed it up.

Super setup by Bumrah. Kept it outside the off-stump and then fired one in. Elgar (77) trapped LBW. The review didn't help.

Elgar: Not a nice thing. Doesn't sit well with me that we lost here... India played a great Test match and a lot of credit to them.

Elgar: I'd say the difference was the batting. To be three down at the end of Day 1 is something that every side strives for.

KL Rahul, player of the match: I don't think I have made too many technical changes. I think it has been more about how calm and patient I am... how more disciplined I have gotten in Test cricket especially.
