- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 finally Rohit's mis-hit a pull, and a tremendous innings ends. He's been hitting the short ball superbly all night but he top edged this one from Abbott and Morris judges the swirling catch well at long leg 162/33.1 a misfield, never run on the misfield they say, but the Indian batsmen do not heed that adage and pay for it. Dhawan pushed a low full toss to mid-off and ran, the single was easy. Marchant de Lange then fumbled the ball and Dhawan and Rohit tried to steal a second. The throw to de Villiers wasn't especially accurate, but it was just enough to beat Dhawan's dive, his bat was on the line as the bails were broken. Dhawan had said no first but Rohit was coming through and so Dhawan went. 22/115.3 Duminy's taken it cleanly! Kohli pulled but did not have room to free his arms against the short ball. It flew flat to Duminy and he caught it at head height 160/218.3 that's dead plumb. Raina moves right across his stumps to flick but misses a full and straight ball. That was going to crash into middle stump. Gone. 184/418.4 a big mix up and Rayudu's been run out. Rayudu played the ball towards square leg and there really wasn't a run there because it had gone pretty quickly to Amla. Dhoni had sprinted from the non-striker's end though, and Rayudu was late to respond. Once Rayudu decided to run, he was never going to make it. He put in a full length dive but Morris whipped off the bails to catch him short 184/5Extras11 (lb 2, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL199/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.95)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Shikhar Dhawan, 3.1 ov), 2-160 (Virat Kohli, 15.3 ov), 3-162 (Rohit Sharma, 15.6 ov), 4-184 (Suresh Raina, 18.3 ov), 5-184 (Ambati Rayudu, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 too straight, on the pads, flicked to deep square leg. The single went well for South Africa but then they took on Bhuvneshwar Kumar with dire consequences. Amla isn't the quickest between the wickets and the flat, accurate one-bounce throw to Ashwin caught Amla well short. Like India, SA have lost their first wicket to a run out. 77/19.5 bowled him! India have a huge wicket. Ashwin responded to that fabulous shot by bowling the ball a lot slower. AB had come out of his crease to hit the ball through midwicket and was in no position to play it, he missed and Ashwin was on target. The ball brushed AB's back thigh and deflected on to the stumps 93/210.3 bowled him! Aravind has his first international wicket, and he leaps and punches the air in celebration! The ball slanted across the right-hander from over the wicket and kept a touch low. It was a slower ball. Du Plessis reached for it without moving his feet, trying to hit through cover. He got a thick inside edge back on to his stumps. India right back in this. 95/3Extras9 (lb 5, w 4)TOTAL200/3 (19.4 Overs, RR: 10.16)Fall of wickets: 1-77 (Hashim Amla, 7.4 ov), 2-93 (AB de Villiers, 9.5 ov), 3-95 (Faf du Plessis, 10.3 ov)
