    4.6 nicked to slip! Wild west bounce does it again! This just takes off in the channel as Rahul looks for the glide to third, and a big fat edge flies into Markram's bread basket. Two in the over, Ngidi bang on it from the outset. SA making the early moves 26/2
    4.2 cramped on the pull, taken by Ngidi in his follow through! Perth bounce 1-1 Rohit Sharma's pull shot. Big breakthrough for SA, as Ngidi scampers across the square to his right and pouches the catch safely. Well-directed short ball and it just got too big, came off the splice of Rohit's bat and went nowhere 23/1
    6.5 gottim! Kohli vanquished! Ngidi spreads his arms, the victor in this powerhouse contest. Bouncer does the trick once again, climbing above the eyeline as Kohli take on the pull. The ball goes high, high and spiralling towards fine leg, but Rabada is there, coolest man in the house, making the catch look simple as he runs around the boundary, silencing the crowd in the process 41/3
    18.5 120kph, a slower one from Parnell. Short of length at the stumps. Surya goes for the pull but ends up miscuing it towards mid-off. A simple catch for Maharaj there but what an innings by Surya. He departs for 68 off just 40 127/8
    7.3 gobbled up, Nortje demolishes another brick in the blue wall! Hooda again flashes at a wide one without getting anywhere near the ball, and sends a thin edge through to the keeper. India's Perth predicament deepens 42/4
    8.3 Rabaadaaaaaaa! Superbly taken at fine leg! Ngidi has four. FOUR!! Another short ball, another pull shot, another India batter brings about their own downfall. Pandya won't be receiving quite so much criticism, though, as he connected well and did his best to roll the wrists. But it isn't enough in this case, as Rabada comes screaming in off the rope and pulls off a full-length dive. Catch of the day, another big fish hooked 49/5
    15.1 Parnell does the job for his captain. A length ball angling across. Karthik goes for the pull towards midwicket but gets a top edge towards backward point. Rossouw pedals back and pouches it 101/6
    18.1 banged short by Parnell, angling across. Ashwin goes for the pull but isn't in control. Rabada takes a couple of steps back and to his right from mid-on and pouches it 124/7

    19.4 slightly fuller than good length. Angling towards the pads. Shami was on the back foot and misses. The ball hits the pads and rolls towards the bowler. India attempt a run but Nortje collects the ball and throws it underarm at the non-striker's end. A direct hit and Shami was well short 130/9

    1.1 Arshdeep strikes first ball. Full and swinging away. De Kock goes for the drive but gets a healthy outside edge. Rahul at second slip takes it with both hands to his left, just above the waist height 3/1
    5.4 Bavuma's strange knock comes to an end. A length ball well outside off, Bavuma moves across and looks to lap it over the keeper. All he gets is an inside edge to Karthik, who dives to his left to pouch it. The umpires want to check the catch upstairs but it's clearly taken. So Bavuma walks back for 10 off 15 24/3
    1.3 a huge appeal for lbw but not given. Arshdeep signals it was going down the leg side but Rohit, belatedly, opts to review it. It was full around off, Rossouw went for the slog towards leg side but missed. The ball hit him on the back thigh, a bent back leg there. Replay shows the impact was around middle and the ball would have hit the top of middle and leg 3/2
    15.4 Markram finally holes out and Hardik breaks through. Continues to bang the ball in, Markram continues to take the pull on. This time, though, he gets more height than distance and only manages to find Suryakumar stationed at deep midwicket. What a knock from the No. 5 ranked T20I batter, though! 100/4

    17.4 Trapped in front! Stubbs goes, Ashwin rejoices but South Africa take the review. Ashwin lands it on a length, bowls it slower through the air. It is the attempted carrom ball. Stubbs gets low to play the reverse sweep but misses to get hit on the knee roll via the arm. Clipping the wickets, says Hawk-Eye. South Africa retain the review but lose a wicket. 122/5
