It all happened on the first delivery of the 123rd over when Jadeja defended a Rabada delivery back to him. Rabada, who casually threw the ball back the keeper, ended up putting on display a wayward throw which was wasn’t collected by the de Kock.

With the batsman not attempting for a run, de Kock wasn’t even looking when the throw came his way. Just as Kohli and Jadeja ran a single, Rabada lost his cool and received similar gestures from the wicket-keeper. South Africa captain Faf du Plessis was seen talking to the fast bowler after he finished his 29th over.

The visitors are in the middle of a tough day at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. Having only dismissed India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane (59) since morning, South African bowlers are toiling hard to stop Kohli who looks set to score his seventh Test double hundred.
