- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.4 Out, has to be. Yes! Jaiswal falls on the pull. Another height-based wicket for the tall Jansen. Bangs in a 134ks back of length ball that rises to top-of-chest height. Ball skids off the pitch and beats Jaiswal for pace. Ballooned off the top-half of the bat, likely the splice, and popped straight to square leg. Jaiswal can't extend a good start. SA pulling things back 62/24.5 Out? QDK interested after the caught-behind appeal despite not being given. Bavuma has been convinced to review. 138ks length ball angling away. Seam-up, lands and goes with the angle. Rohit looked to defend the ball straight. Ball is very close to the bat, went through fourth stump. And there is a murmur with ball kissing bat! Rohit looks puzzled but has to walk back. Burger pumps his fist. After a lot of wides, he gets in a Test-class ball. Big crowd as Rohit walks off because Kohli walks in. 40/139.1 Peak-Kohli shot... costs him. Ground goes quiet as Kohli walks back. Kohli's disappointed with himself as he walks. THat's until the bat-raise to all corners with adoring chants. Was a length ball slanting at the stumps at 132ks. Pre-mediated and went through the shot too early. A full-fledged miscued drive floated to long-on. 284/435.4 Is the party over? Yes, for this partnership at least. Taken at deep fine leg. Ruturaj is despondent, crowd quietens for a moment and then erupts again as the batter walks back. Was a 117ks offcutter with a scrambled seam. Landed back of length, finished just over middle stump. Shot was on. Gaikwad went through with the pull. Spliced it straight to de Zorzi. 195-run stand ends. 257/340.6 The pressure tells on Washington! Reverse-sweeps to short third and takes off for a single. Rahul rightly sends him back but Washi was already too far ahead. Umpire doesn't even need to check with the TV umpire and gives him out as Bosch is quick to throw it to de Kock, who does the rest. Washington's struggle comes to an end 289/5Extras24 (lb 4, w 20)TOTAL358/5 (50 Overs, RR: 7.16)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Rohit Sharma, 4.5 ov), 2-62 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 9.4 ov), 3-257 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 35.4 ov), 4-284 (Virat Kohli, 39.1 ov), 5-289 (Washington Sundar, 40.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR29.6 Harshit Rana gets the breakthrough! Slower ball does the job! Dug in short wide of off at 112kph, Markram tries to tennis-forehand this down the ground and it goes straight to long-on and Gaikwad takes a neat catch! A fabulous knock comes to an end! 197/34.5 Should be out. QDK seems to have given it away against the run of play. He saw the fullness in length and tried to pump it through the line. The 134ks ball on fourth seamed a bit and the ball came off the side of the blade rather than the middle. QDK wanted to whip that leg side, played too early. Mid-on ran right, a few steps back, and then took it nicely 26/120.5 Short ball ploy does the trick! It's short and wide and he looks to fetch it from there with the pull, but he gets it off the toe end and Harshit Rana takes a good reverse-cupped catch. India with a much-needed breakthrough! 127/243.5 Prasidh nails the yorker! The finger goes up! Prasidh punches the air, but Breetzke has reviewed this. No bat involved. Ball-tracking shows it crashing into leg stump, and Breetzke has to go for 68. Is this another twist? This was a yorker around middle and off and Breetzke was nowhere near it. It's been a tough day at the office for Prasidh Krishna, but this was executed perfectly 317/540.3 And he goes big again, and picks out long-on! Sigh of relief from Jaiswal after he holds on. Kuldeep with the breakthrough! It was one that went along with the angle and Brevis doesn't middle it, skying it wide of long-on but not getting enough distance on it. A fantastic knock, but now South Africa will need a new batter to step in and shine 289/444.6 Full and wide, Bosch reaches out and thrashes a drive well straight of the off side sweeper! No need for running there as Bosch picks up another boundary 332/644.3 Straight to long-off! India are still in this! This is full around middle and leg and Jansen just backs away slightly and plays a lofted straight drive, but can't get the distance he wants. Ruturaj Gaikwad runs in from long-off and makes no mistake 322/6Extras18 (b 1, lb 5, nb 1, w 11)TOTAL362/6 (49.2 Overs, RR: 7.33)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Quinton de Kock, 4.5 ov), 2-127 (Temba Bavuma, 20.5 ov), 3-197 (Aiden Markram, 29.6 ov), 4-289 (Dewald Brevis, 40.3 ov), 5-317 (Matthew Breetzke, 43.5 ov), 6-322 (Marco Jansen, 44.3 ov), 6-332* (Tony de Zorzi, retired not out )
