- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR31.1 the first ODI wicket for Magala, and it's of the India captain! Another soft dismissal, Magala bowled that slightly full and into the pads, Rahul flicked it away and van der Dussen went down to his left with a slide to complete a sharp catch 179/311.4 holes out to deep midwicket! Markram does the damage again, this time he removes Dhawan. Pitched up, Dhawan goes for the big slog-sweep and even though he middles it, Magala quickly moves to his right and takes it at shoulder height with both hands. The ball was travelling fast 63/112.4 chipped straight to cover, another soft dismissal for Kohli, and he's gone for duck! Pitched up outside off, Kohli jumped on the length and went for the drive but handed the easiest of catches to Bavuma at cover, who barely had to move to grab that 64/232.3 Pant goes after Shamsi again, there's a fielder at long-on, and he holes out to him! Shamsi has got the big wicket. Pant was itching to attack after two dot balls and he came down the track to attack, smashed the ball down the ground but didn't get the distance, and Markram ran forward to dive forward and get his hands under it properly. Shamsi is pumped, having gone for 33 runs in his three overs earlier 183/436.5 another big appeal for lbw, this time against the other Iyer who is beaten on the back foot, so South Africa have decided to review it. Flighted around off, it pitched marginally outside off, turned in, and struck the knee roll of the front pad. No edge, confirms UltraEdge, and ball-tracking shows that's hitting leg stump. Shreyas Iyer is gone, and Shamsi has his second 207/543.5 almost stumped in similar fashion to Pant in the last match. Andile went around the wicket like the last game, and got the left-hander overbalancing while slipping a normal pace delivery down leg. He misses playing the flick and Quinton de Kock is lightning fast as ever in removing the bails. Venkatesh has dragged his foot back behind the crease - but the question is, was it in the air when the bails were whipped off? And there appears to be a tiny gap, so the third umpire rules the foot was in the air, and Andile has got another wicket in the fashion he did in the first ODI. As much QdK's wicket as Andile's with those gunslinger hands to whip the bails off in the fraction of a second before Venkatesh fully grounded his foot. 239/6Extras20 (lb 1, nb 2, w 17)TOTAL287/6 (50 Overs, RR: 5.74)Fall of wickets: 1-63 (Shikhar Dhawan, 11.4 ov), 2-64 (Virat Kohli, 12.4 ov), 3-179 (KL Rahul, 31.1 ov), 4-183 (Rishabh Pant, 32.3 ov), 5-207 (Shreyas Iyer, 36.5 ov), 6-239 (Venkatesh Iyer, 43.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR34.4 castled. Bumrah does it. He's been getting the ball to move in sharply. This one was an off-cutter, Malan sees it on a length outside off and is looking to just keep it out by pushing at it, bounces a tad more than he thought and knocks him on the gloves, then crashes into stumps. He almost didn't realise he'd been bowled. 212/221.6 really loud appeal for lbw as de Kock misses a full toss, the umpire doesn't move and Thakur is signalling to Rahul at midwicket to review it immediately. Rahul looks at Pant, who says "it's very close but I couldn't see much from here". Rahul reviews reluctantly. de Kock had moved across to off for the flick but he missed the low full toss which struck him right in front of the stumps. No edge, and that's hitting the stumps 132/135.4 leading edge is caught by the bowler. Nice dip on that by Yuzi, and Bavuma was looking to work it legside, it pitches short of where he thought it would, turns and takes the leading edge and pops back to the bowler. He takes it low, and jubilantly throws it up in the air. 214/3Extras10 (b 4, lb 1, w 5)TOTAL288/3 (48.1 Overs, RR: 5.97)Fall of wickets: 1-132 (Quinton de Kock, 21.6 ov), 2-212 (Janneman Malan, 34.4 ov), 3-214 (Temba Bavuma, 35.4 ov)
