A half-tracker from Harmer. Probably his worst ball of the Test. And Jurel looks to pull over the leg side. Unfortunately for him, he loses one hand off the bat and that reduces the shot's power. Straight down deep midwicket's throat and Jurel can't believe what he has done. Did all the hard work to get settled in. And now he leaves with India 33/3, effectively 33/4. South Africa, to be fair, have been rewarded with tight bowling that included just 1 run in the 20 deliveries leading up to the dismissal. Harmer's freebie delivery looked so enticing after a quiet few overs that Jurel couldn't resist, maybe even pulling too hard.

The dismissal deflated the crowd, but only temporarily, since Rishabh Pant has walked in. Two left-handers now. Let's see how Harmer and Maharaj operate to Pant.

Dhruv Jurel, what have you done?!

India now need fewer than 100, thanks to Jurel’s fluent leg-side flicks, Washington’s patient resistance, and the simple fact that Marco Jansen hasn’t been on the field since lunch.

No injury concerns around Jansen, though. He’s expected back shortly.
There was one moment of excitement for Corbin Bosch when he thought he had Jurel caught behind off a full delivery. But the review showed the ball had hit a rough patch and jagged away, creating the illusion of an outside edge and misleading the umpire.

South Africa’s tactics have been odd, too. Harmer is operating from the High Court End even though the spinners have looked far more threatening from the Club House End. And the turn itself isn’t nearly as sharp as it was on days one and two.
This partnership has crossed 30.
india vs sa
A session firmly dominated by South Africa. Their last three batters added 60 invaluable runs, while India replied with just 10 — and lost both openers, with Shubman Gill effectively gone as well.

Washington and Jurel survived 4.5 jittery overs, and for India the break couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Jansen, meanwhile, would have happily bowled through lunch if allowed, but he has to leave the field with the rest of his team.

The crowd - locked in, anxious, barely blinking through the chaos - now has 40 uneasy minutes to fill over momos, rolls, jhalmuri and biryanis (the usual Eden Gardens fare) dissecting with their friends, old and new, on how India let this session slip.
sa vs india
Marco Jansen has had a difficult relationship with Eden Gardens. In South Africa’s 2023 ODI World Cup group game against India, the left-armer came into the game with terrific rhythm — only for it to completely unravel. Fifteen fours and a six later, he was trudging off with bruising figures of 1 for 94 in 9.4 overs.

Then came the semi-final against Australia. Just 4.2 overs, 35 runs, and more frustration. For Jansen, this ground has been less a venue and more a recurring nightmare.

And yet, here he is again, ball in hand, trying to flip the narrative. He opts to come around the wicket to KL Rahul for his second over, and the first ball is a beauty: a short delivery that snakes up and Rahul edges him to the keeper. Two wickets for Jansen in seven balls. India, techically on 1 for 3, are now feeling the heat. Those 2023 World Cup matches now feel like a distant memory. Two youngsters, Sundar and Jurel, now need to rescue India.

Jaiswal goes after two wide deliveries with attempted cuts but misses both — perhaps late into the stroke, not expecting that much width. Then comes a bouncer down leg. And off the fourth ball, Jansen hits a good length that climbs steeply; Jaiswal pokes at it from a fourth-stump line. The ball kisses the edge on its way to Verreynne, and the crowd is instantly silenced.
Can Rahul and Washington Sundar, the No. 3, put up a stand like their 57 in the second innings? Simon Harmer will operate from the other end.
