South African batting coach Ashwell Prince said Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram were keen to make sure Bavuma didn’t retire hurt on the third day of the World Test Championship final against Australia even with his hamstring issue.

Bavuma got hurt while batting at six and the physios spent a lot of time with him during the Lunch break.
