Dhruv Jurel struck his fifth first-class century and second in the match, further strengthening his case for a middle-order spot in next week's first South Africa Test in Kolkata.

- AGENCIES

His unbeaten 127 rescued a floundering India A innings for the second time in the game, guiding them to 382 for 7 declared, and setting South Africa A a daunting target of 417 to win in a little over three sessions.

At stumps on the penultimate day, the visitors reached 25 for no loss, with openers Lesego Senokwane and Jordan Hermann surviving 11 testing overs from Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, and Prasidh Krishna. Siraj was particularly threatening, troubling Senokwane repeatedly with movement off the seam.

His fiery spell of 6-2-10-0 featured three close caught-behind appeals that were turned down — all correctly adjudged by umpire Akshay Totare — and a nervy leave that narrowly missed the off stump.
