    1.5 edged and gone! Rickelton goes for one, and India have two in the first two overs! Dug in shorter outside off, but with the same outward angle. Rickelton tries to go across it, looking for that swipe over cow corner, but all he manages is a feather through to Samson. SA on the mat! 1/2
    0.3 cleans him up with an absolute corker! Back of a length delivery that starts just outside off before curving back in devilishly. Hendricks is caught on the crease and tries to fence at it. Gets cut in half and the off bail goes for a toss. India on the board early, and Hendricks has to depart in the first over! 1/1
    2.5 goes straight up, and that will be that for Markram! Length outside off and Markram, having decided he was going to go at everything, goes hard at this too. Gets right under it and the ball goes a mile up. Touches the moon, brings down rain but when it does, Bishnoi holds on, albeit after a slight juggling act. Arshdeep has two, India have three, and South Africa are in all sorts of trouble! 10/3
    12.1 struck on the pads, and No.6 goes down! Fizzed through on a fullish length on off. Stubbs walks right across his stumps and then tries to sweep it away. Misses the ball completely and that seemed pretty adjacent. Stubbs has reviewed this, perhaps arguing the ball struck him outside the line. It will also be interesting to see if it was a googly or the one that spins away a little. No bat involved. Impact in line, and Ball Tracking reckons the ball would have clipped the top of middle and off. Umpire's Call, and Stubbs has to go! 96/6
    2.6 massive appeal, and that is plumb with a capital P! They cannot play him! Back of a length delivery that starts on off and curves back in viciously. Klaasen does not expect the ball to deck back that much and plays well outside the line. Gets thumped on the back leg right in front of middle stump and the finger, unsurprisingly, goes up. Klaasen has reviewed because, well, why not. No bat involved and Ball Tracking has the ball demolishing middle stump, two-thirds of the way up. India are all over South Africa like an absolute rash! 10/4
    11.6 Chakravarthy has the last laugh, and Miller has to walk back! The change in angle works immediately and he floats this up full outside off, asking Miller to fetch it leg side. He looks to go over long on but gets it very low on the bat. HIts it flat but straight to Tilak at long on, who makes no mistake. SA sink further! 96/5

    13.2 oh dear - what has happened here?! Chakravarthy bangs it in very short, after seeing the batter advance and almost takes his toe-nail off. Bounces up and comes off much slower than Simelane expects. He swipes at it in rather ungainly fashion and the ball lobs up off the top edge for Bishnoi to snare at short fine leg. Chakravarthy cannot believe he has gotten a wicket with that delivery, but he will not mind one bit! 105/7
    15.3 miscued, and Axar is among the wickets almost instantly! Darted in on a back of a length on off. Keeps coming in with the angle and cramps Coetzee. He hacks at it because he has no other option and splices it straight up. Samson calls early and does the rest! 131/8
    17.1 superb work from Tilak Varma, and Axar has another! Dangles the carrot outside off and Maharaj bites. Slices across it too much, while trying to go inside out, and pops it towards deep backward point. Tilak makes up plenty of ground to his left and then completes the catch with a smart slide. South Africa on the brink! 141/9
    18.2 There it is! Ramandeep's first wicket in T20I cricket, a 3-1 series victory for India and in the final round, they have unloaded on South Africa, flooring them with an array of haymakers, hooks, uppercuts and body blows! Slower ball on a full length outside off. Sipamla, like so many before him, swipes across the line in agricultural fashion. Skews it straight up and Axar does the rest at backward point. Handshakes and smiles from those in India's blue. This was a thoroughly dominant display; much more pensive expressions from those in the South African green. They could have tied this series up, but on a day when they needed to stand up, they did not even turn up! 148/10
