Skipper Rishabh Pant’s unbeaten fifty laced with impudence, patience and fortune held India ‘A’ together, taking them to 119 for four against South Africa ‘A’ on the penultimate day of the four-day match here on Saturday.

India still need 166 runs to scale down the target of 275, after South Africa, overnight 30 for no loss, were bundled out for 199 in their second innings.
