Morkel said that the Southpaw’s shoulder has been bruised and he has not been able to warm up ahead of the match today. However, Morkel stated that he will be available on day 4.
Morne Morkel on Rishabh Pant (as quoted by Cricbuzz), "His right shoulder is badly bruised. When he tried warm up this morning, his movement was restricted. They’ll be monitoring him tonight. Hopefully he’ll be behind the stumps tomorrow."
Morkel also spoke about Prasidh Krishna's impressive performance with the ball. The Karnataka-based pacer has been the joint-highest wicket-taker in the first innings alongside Manav Suthar with three wickets each. He dismissed both openers, Lahiru Udara, Kamil Mishara, and Kamindu Mendis in the match. He has bowled amazingly from day 2 of the Test match.
Morkel backed Prasidh Krishna for showing amazing spirit despite facing criticism from the media and former cricketers.

Morkel also stated that the management provided him clarity role in England, which helped him bowl more fuller and with consistency.
