- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.1 got him with a superb throw from deep midwicket! de Kock can't be saved despite the dive. Super work from Shreyas Iyer. He squeezes a wide yorker off an inside edge into the leg side and looks to a steal a second that wasn't on, Iyer was dead spot on with his flat throw as Pant did the rest. 120/24.1 chipped to short midwicket! Bavuma follows two ducks with 3 off 8 balls, while Umesh strikes first ball. A good length ball just outside off, as Bavuma got his front leg out of the way to send that heaving. It could only come off the inside half of the bat, as Rohit took the catch high above his head 30/119.2 tries to premeditate the scoop shot and ends up finding Ashwin at short third. Despite the batter jumping out, Chahar stuck to his guns of bowling it outside off. Stubbs tried to change his stroke and ramp it over short third but it was too late 207/3Extras14 (lb 4, nb 2, w 8)TOTAL227/3 (20 Overs, RR: 11.35)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Temba Bavuma, 4.1 ov), 2-120 (Quinton de Kock, 12.1 ov), 3-207 (Tristan Stubbs, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 gone, Rohit is bowled second ball! India lose a wicket very early in a massive chase. Rohit got an inside edge, as went punching at this back of a length ball in the channel outside off. There was no foot movement to get to the pitch of the ball, but to be fair to Rohit, the ball did seem to keep a little lower than was expected. Anyway, South Africa strike with India already under the pump 0/14.6 taken low at cover-point! Good catch by Stubbs. Pant's fun ends, as he checks his shot last moment, looking to poke at that good length ball outside off. Ngidi rolled his fingers over it again, as this one looked like bouncing more than Pant expected. The ball was spooned to Stubbs in the end, who went low to grab that 45/31.4 woah, the finger goes up very late! Parnell was half-celebrating already in his appeal, almost ending up at short leg out of excitement. But Iyer has reviewed. It was a back of a length ball on leg, which again went lower than anticipated. That pitched just about on leg stump, and went on with the arm. Iyer missed his clip, and was hit bang on his front pad. No bat involved either, and replays show the ball would have crashed into the top of middle stump. India in big trouble 4/26.6 tries to be too funky, but is bowled! This time he went for the reverse scoop, but was beaten. The ball clattered into off stump off a good length on off, with Karthik into his shot early. An extremely attractive knock comes to an end, with India running out of batting options now 78/47.6 is that a fantastic catch by Stubbs? The umpires get together for a chat, even as Suryakumar has started walking back. Yup, replays confirm he has got it. Excellent grab there at deep point, as he took a few steps forward before flinging himself low to get it. It was a full and wide ball outside off from Pretorius, with Suryakumar looking to use the pace of the bowler there. He ended up slicing it far away from his body, with his bottom hand off. The ball took off from his bat, but alas! 86/511.4 edged and gone? Looks like the umpires are convening to discuss if it carried. That means they think there was an edge. Soft signal is out and the replays confirm that. Axar's short stay is over and India are on the brink. This is full and wide outside off, Axar throws the kitchen sink at that. Got the thinnest of edge through to de Kock. 114/710.5 the intention is right but the execution isn't. Harshal holes out to long-off as he looks to belt this out of the ground. The lack of pace on that delivery did him in, which meant he had to generate more power on the shot. He couldn't. 108/612.2 no elevation even though he steps out and strikes it well, long-on takes an easy catch. The procession continues. 120/816.3 that's the end of Chahar's party. Slower ball, threw his bat at that, he had to, but the timing was off and it was straight down long-off's throat. Good change of pace from Pretorius, ran his fingers across the seam. 168/918.3 brings out the helicopter shot but he hit this dead straight to the longest part of the ground, and found Rossouw settled underneath the ball coming around from long-off.
