An amazing contest in the end: Samson and co smashed 63 off the last five overs, but still fell nine short. Samson played brilliantly for a career-best 86* off 63 balls, an innings which has perhaps taken a long time to come. But Miller and Klaasen's onslaught proved a bit too much for India, as South Africa went 1-0 up in the series. Thanks for your company today in this shortened match, as Chandan, Ashish and I, Himanshu, bid you goodbye!

Heinrich Klaasen is the Player of the Match for 74*: "Not easy at all [when he went in to bat]. Ball was moving around, and just when I went in, it was spinning. I don't know why [the good record against India]!"

Here comes Temba Bavuma, the winning captain: "A bit tight there at the end with Sanju hitting like that. Wasn't much grass. The opening guys did knuckle down... David and Klaasen came in... Bowling was good upfront. First 15 overs was a lot of pressure. At the end of the day, we were able to stay calm under pressure"

Shikhar Dhawan will speak first: "Very proud of the way the boys played. It's tremendous the way Shreyas, Samson and Shardul played. I thought 250 was too many runs, because the wicket had turn and seam. Even fielding-wise we leaked a few runs; but it'll be a good experience and learning for the young boys"

Hang around for the presentations. Who will be your Player of the Match: Miller for 75*, Klaasen for 74* or Maharaj for bowling very economically?

Stof: "Credit to Ind, so much depth and some guys put their hands up in a tough chase. As for SA, persisting with Shamsi while Makram was available as well as bowling short "

Biju: "39th over.. Sanju Samson didnt faced a single Ball. That will be a game changer.. better luck next time Samson"

Rabada - and the new ball - set up South Africa's defence; India were 51 for 4 in the 18th over, and it was always going to be a massive climb from there. But Maharaj conceding only 23 off eight overs - there was sharp turn and bounce available for him - negated all of Iyer and Samson's efforts in the middle overs. Very crucial ten points for South Africa, as they dream of direct qualification for next year's World Cup.

10.41pm It was probably a matter of two balls in this game, or two boundaries, or even three dropped catches. Samson was pretty much the only man fighting for India, with Iyer and Thakur falling right when India would have hated most. But it was a terrific fight from a man who has either struggled to get into India's XI or couldn't convert his chances.
