- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR32.5 The off and middle stump are flattened and Prasidh has struck for a third time in this spell. A HUGE wicket as de Kock falls. Goes fast and full and 141kph on the stumps, de Kock goes for a cross-batted whip, plays all around it and sees his stumps in a shambles. That's a mammoth wicket in the context of the game, and India can really hope to restrict South Africa to a manageable total. 199/50.5 Edged and taken! Arshdeep gets the first strike and Rickelton falls for a duck Fullish in length with some late movement away from Rickelton outside off. He goes for an expansive drive, can only manage a thin outside edge and Rahul does the rest. 1/120.6 Fluffy dismissal. Taken at point! Bavuma falls after a slowdown. 93ks ball looked slower than usual. It was floated wide on a length, Bavuma took a small stride across and reached out with the upper body to slash it. Got an outside edge that floated straight to Kohli. 114/228.2 Plumb, given.... But Breetzke reviews straight away. Has to be an inside edge. 139ks wobble ball that landed on a back of length at fourth stump. Skidded in and went just under the bat as Breetzke tried, last second, to crouch. He lifted his heel but couldn't connect with the pull. No edge. Smashig middle and off. Prasidh's return has worked 168/328.6 Two-pacedness gets Markram cheaply. Prasidh's disciplined length too. 139ks, lands on the heart of a good length and sponged up just a touch to finish around knee-height at fourth stump. Markram took a nice stride across and wanted to punch it to cover with a check. He's a touch early into the shot and the ball popped straight to the fielder. 170/438.1 Spooned straight up and Rohit takes a simple catch at midwicket. Lovely bowling from Kuldeep. He dangles the wrong'un well outside off stump. Brevis targets the bowler looking to go across the line, gets a big top-edge which goes straight up. Rohit settles under it at midwicket and completes the catch 234/638.3 Two in the over and Kuldeep has removed both set batters. This is catastrophic for South Africa! Gently tossed up on off stump, he can't control himself and goes for a cross-batted swipe but only as far as deep midwicket where Jadeja takes the simplest of catches 235/742.3 Too early into the drive, spliced back to the bowler! 85ks length ball around off, bounced extra, Bosch was back in the crease as he tried to hit it along the ground, past the bowler. But the bat was beyond the perpendicular by the time ball hit the sticker and popped back to the bowler. 252/844.4 Spins it in and gets an lbw... from the ump at least. Review. Length ball landed on off and spun in. Ngidi looked to defend straight. Got beaten on the inside edge and hit on the knee-roll. It's clipping leg and India's players see the funny side of it after all the DRS fun. Rohit has a longish chat with Kuldeep during celebrations 258/947.5 Reverse-swinging yorker flattens the stumps. Off-stump sails back in fact. The ball landed around fourth and went below Baartman's attempted straight drive.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR25.5 Slog sweep costs Rohit. He looked to launch the 79ks full ball from middle stump. He was on one knee, showing middle and off stump. Got the hands low but the ball bounced more than he expected. Catch ballooned to deep square leg, Breetzke takes it after running in. Rohit gently swings the bat in frustration before walking back 155/1Extras15 (lb 2, w 13)TOTAL271/1 (39.5 Overs, RR: 6.8)Fall of wickets: 1-155 (Rohit Sharma, 25.5 ov)
