Dhruv Jurel fell to a sharp caught-and-bowled by Simon Harmer after misreading a tossed-up delivery. Harmer floated the ball around off stump, tempting Jurel to work it towards the on-side. However, the ball dipped on him, and as he closed the bat face, it produced a leading edge that popped back towards the bowler. The chance was dying low, but Harmer reacted swiftly, diving forward and getting both hands under the ball to complete an excellent low catch. The umpires briefly checked its fairness, but Harmer was confident, and Jurel walked off for 14 off 14, ending his steady cameo.

Harmer consistently targeted the stumps and pads, preventing Jadeja from working the ball freely. Jurel then took strike for the final two deliveries but found no scoring opportunities, blocked by Harmer’s disciplined line. The over applied valuable pressure, keeping India to 149/4 with boundaries hard to come by.

Bosch tightened up with a couple of good-length deliveries that Jurel defended, including one that drew a loud appeal but was rightly ignored by the umpire. Jadeja faced one ball in the over, managing a single off an inside edge that rolled to long leg. The over ended with a dot to Jurel, leaving India at 148/4 with momentum shifting their way.
