Jurel and Kuldeep Yadav, however, provided the resistance the hosts had lacked earlier. The duo took their side to 156/7 at Tea and kept the fight going upon resumption. Their 79-run stand came to an end when Kuldeep was run-out in the 66th over. Jurel brought his century up shortly thereafter and shared another critical 34-run partnership with Mohammed Siraj. Jurel remained unbeaten on 132 with Prasidh Krishna being the last man to fall. Tiaan van Vuuren was the pick of the South Africa A bowlers with figures of 4-52.
