The fourth Test appeared to be lost for South Africa, as they were set 481 runs for victory in Delhi, or just short of two days batting for a draw.

However, apparently no one told Hashim Amla, as he held India at bay for 207 balls, finishing on 23 not out.

South Africa finished Day 4 on just 2 for 72, after – wait for it – 72 overs of play.

India were stonewalled at an overage of just one run per over, bringing the Proteas almost half way to drawing the final Test.

After openers Dean Elgar (4 off 17) and Temba Buvana (34 off 117) fell, South Africa’s most important partnership came to the crease, with Amla joined by AB de Villiers, who also finished the day not out on 11 from 91 balls.

Earlier, India declared their second innings at 5 for 267 from 100.1 overs, showing the difficulty of batting throughout the match.

Heading into this fourth and final Test match, India were leading the series two games to nil.
