Shami to T Bavuma, OUT! BOWLED! Another one bites the dust! It is Bavuma this time who is down on the ground as he tries to play at this one but misses! A good length ball by Shami which keeps low again and it nips back in. Bavuma expects it to bounce but he misreads it as he attempts to defend it off the back foot. The ball sneaks below Bavuma's bat and goes onto hit the stumps. Excellent start for India on Day 5. Seven more wickets to go. Will this match finish in the first session itself?
