This stellar effort led South Africa to a total of 256/5, giving them an 11-run lead over India.

The Proteas dominated the day, frustrating the Indian bowlers, but India fought back in the final session. Two key wickets were claimed, with David Beddingham, who had a strong debut with a fifty, falling, and Prasidh Krishna securing his maiden Test scalp by dismissing Kyle Verreyenne.

Jasprit Bumrah's impactful bowling in the second session aimed to turn the tide for India, grabbing two quick wickets. However, an impressive unbeaten 81-run partnership between Elgar and debutant Bedingham swung the match back in favor of the Proteas.
