- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR35.1 oh it ends in an anti-climactic fashion! It was a full delivery and he connected well with his sweep, but de Kock is disappointed as he hits it straight to the man at square leg. End of another effortless innings 194/143.3 oh another wicket from nowhere from India! Just like de Kock was dismissed against the run of play, now Amla get a feather to this slower bouncer en route to the gloves of Dhoni. He was looking to slap it through off, but the extra tennis-ball type bounce probably messed up with the timing of his bat swing.. 233/336.2 oh some turn and AB is walking off straightaway! It was a typical left-arm spinner's delivery, coming in from round the wicket, and turning away. AB stretched forward to push it straight down the ground, but didn't account for the spin. Dhoni takes the bails off in a flash and AB has to go. 199/246.3 short of length delivery outside off, Duminy has to wait a touch extra because it comes slow off the pitch. He then slaps it to deep midwicket and calls for a second. But he was stuggling to make it back, he dives, but is not able to beat the throw at the striker's end 249/543.6 another wicket! This one goes to the bowler! It was a fuller length delivery and heading for the middle stump, Miller plays for the angle, but it just comes in a touch. Hang on, there is a tiny inside edge on that, so Miller is unfortunate on that one, but it looked out to the naked eye 234/447.4 It's timbaa!It was full and fast, not quite a yorker, but a full length delivery. It tails in just a touch to creep under Kallis' swing towards the leg side and takes out the leg stump 255/6Extras9 (b 1, lb 2, w 6)TOTAL280/6 (49 Overs, RR: 5.71)Fall of wickets: 1-194 (Quinton de Kock, 35.1 ov), 2-199 (AB de Villiers, 36.2 ov), 3-233 (Hashim Amla, 43.3 ov), 4-234 (David Miller, 43.6 ov), 5-249 (Jean-Paul Duminy, 46.3 ov), 6-255 (Jacques Kallis, 47.4 ov)
- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 caught at short midwicket! This is going the same way as the first one! It was a short of length delivery on the body and Rohit goes for his usual front-foot pull and gets it on the middle too, but he is unable to keep it down. Hashim Amla at short midwicket times his jump to perfection to pluck this one out! Excellent reflex catch there. Loppsy is elated 29/32.2 and he is gone, caught at point! another length delivery outside off and Dhawan tends to go for these ones, that's what he does, but he is not able to keep it down and it goes straight to the throat of the backward point fielder 10/13.5 and now Kohli is gone for a duck! Tsotsobe strikes with an angled delivery outside off which was slightly short in length. The batsman tried to steer it down to third man, but it just skims off the face of the bat to the keeper. 16/28.4 short and wide and another wicket! This one was close to the wide marker, but Rahane, unlike two balls ago, chases this one. De Kock takes it and is the first one to appeal, then everyone appeals and the umpire raises the finger 34/422.6 oh that is some awesome catch! David Miller takes a stinger at cover! Raina moved his front leg out and blasted that length delivery towards cover. He timed it well and that was off the middle too. But Miller shows super reactions to bend down and take the low catch. Raina watches in disbelief for a few seconds before trudging off 95/619.5 great catch from QDK! It was just outside off, Dhoni didn't move much and pushed at it and managed a thick outside edge. It was probably going past the keeper and de Kock leapt to his right to take the low catch 74/533.2 AB you beauty! Jadeja gets a length delivery to which he throws his bat, he wanted to hit the sight screen, but this goes high and straight. AB de Villiers, however, lines himself up coming in from long on and leaps in the air to pick this one right on the edge. Wonderful judgment there from the SA captain 145/830.5 and it's over for Ashwin! Steyn gets the wicket with a wide delivery! It was a short ball wide outside off and the batsman wanted to pull it from there, he gets a faint tickle on this one. Similar to the way Rahane got out 133/735.1 and more sounds of leather on timber! The series has been wrapped with a slower ball that hits the off stump as the batsman looks to swing it away 146/1034.4 not this time! Steyn takes the middle stump out of the ground! This was full, fast and straight. Umesh tried to whip it across the line, but was too slow 146/9Extras14 (b 4, lb 1, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL146 all out (35.1 Overs, RR: 4.15)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Shikhar Dhawan, 2.2 ov), 2-16 (Virat Kohli, 3.5 ov), 3-29 (Rohit Sharma, 7.4 ov), 4-34 (Ajinkya Rahane, 8.4 ov), 5-74 (MS Dhoni, 19.5 ov), 6-95 (Suresh Raina, 22.6 ov), 7-133 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 30.5 ov), 8-145 (Ravindra Jadeja, 33.2 ov), 9-146 (Umesh Yadav, 34.4 ov), 10-146 (Mohammed Shami, 35.1 ov)
