South Africa A, who began the day in a position of strength with a lead of 105, lost Jordan Hermann very early in the day without adding to their tally. Zubayr Hamza went on a boundary-hitting spree to add to India’s frustration as the lead swelled to 159 at one point with South Africa having 9 wickets left in their innings. However, once Manav Suthar broke through by castling Hamza for 37, the home side found an opening to quickly pin the visitors down.
