Rohit Sharmac Heinrich Klaasen b Junior Dala 21 9 2 2 233.33
1.5
J Dala to R Sharma, OUT! The on-field call is overturned! Maiden wicket for Dala and look at the excitement. Simply superb! He digs in a short ball, gets it to bounce a touch extra. Rohit backs away to ramp it over the keeper but seems to have gotten an edge en route to Klaasen. South Africa put in a huge appeal but the umpire shakes his head. Heinrich is confident and he convinces his skipper to take the review. Replays roll in and there is a spike on the Ultra Edge. That is it then.
Shikhar Dhawanc Heinrich Klaasen b Andile Phehlukwayo 72 39 10 2 184.62
14.4
A Phehlukwayo to S Dhawan, OUT! Dhawan throws it away! Not a great shot to be honest but credit to the bowler as well. Shikhar gets down early to play the paddle sweep. Spotting this Phehlukwayo delivers a back of the hand slower ball around leg. The southpaw continues with his shot and all he manages is to offer a catch to Klaasen. He dives forward and pouches it safely. End of a scintillating knock from the Indian opener. Can this be the opening for South Africa?
Suresh Rainac & b Junior Dala 15 7 2 1 214.29
3.6
J Dala to S Raina, OUT! Top edge and it's wicket no. 2 for Dala! He is roaring in delight! Bowls a length delivery outside off, Raina looks to swipe it across the line but gets a big top edge which balloons high up in the air. Junior Dala calls for it and takes it comfortably. Not a good show on your comeback.
Virat Kohli (C)lbw b Tabraiz Shamsi 26 20 2 1 130
9.3
T Shamsi to V Kohli, OUT! Dead duck and Kohli walks back taking the review! Looked out to the naked eye and he fails to make his dropped chance count. More than anyone, Farhaan Behardien will breathe a sigh of relief! Tabraiz sends it quicker through the air, lands it around middle and it turns in to ping Kohli on the back pad right in front of the stumps. The bowler keeps appealing and finally gets a positive nod from the umpire. He starts to run with his arms outstretched but Kohli challenges the decision. Hawk Eye shows it's pitched in line and would have hit the stumps. Big wicket for South Africa, can they put a lid on the scoring rate?

MS Dhoni (W)b Chris Morris 16 11 2 0 145.45
18.1
C Morris to MS Dhoni, OUT! Castled! Morris gets the better of his ex-Chennai skipper. Dhoni walks across to flick this one through the on side to target the short boundary. Seeing this Morris spears in a full toss on leg. MS fails to get bat to that as the ball dips and the ball hits the leg stump very low. That's all that Chris and South Africa require.

Batting R B 4s 6s SR
JJ Smutsc Shikhar Dhawan b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 14 9 3 0 155.56
2.5
B Kumar to JJ Smuts, OUT! Kumar provides the breakthrough! Excellent catch from Dhawan. Full length ball on off and middle, Smuts looks to clip it away to the on side. Ends up getting a top edge that stays in the air perennially. It floats towards mid-wicket. Dhawan from the deep comes forward a bit and hangs onto that comfortably. It was the knuckle ball and hence Smuts was through with his shot a bit early. The Proteas need 175 more to win.
Reeza Hendricksc MS Dhoni b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 70 50 8 1 140
17.1
B Kumar to R Hendricks, OUT! Got him. Bhuvi picks up his third and that certainly should be the final nail in the coffin. Slower delivery, around middle and off, Hendricks looks to slog it across the line but gets a thick top edge. It goes straight up in the air and Dhoni calls for it. Settles nicely under it to send the South African opener back.
JP Duminy (C)c Suresh Raina b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 3 7 0 0 42.86
4.6
B Kumar to JP Duminy, OUT! Don't know if Raina's innings with the bat justified his comeback, but this catch certainly shows why he was and still is regarded one of the best fielders India have. This is bowled full on middle and leg, Duminy was unable to find the gaps and hence decides to take the aerial route. He flick-chips it in the air towards square leg. Raina runs back there from inside the circle even as Chahal runs in from the deep. The calling was clear enough for the former to pouch that with ease. The elation on his face after catching that is justified. South Africa lose two inside the first five overs.
David Millerc Shikhar Dhawan b Hardik Pandya 9 5 0 1 180
6.2
H Pandya to D Miller, OUT! Another one bites the dust! Miller's short stay at the crease comes to the end. He looks to take the aerial route yet again. This is a fuller ball from Pandya at a slower pace. David lofts it over mid on. Dhawan backtracks from there and holds on to it with ease. These aren't easy ones to take, mind you, but Shikhar has done well. South Africa's troubles mount.
Farhaan Behardienc Manish Pandey b Yuzvendra Chahal 39 27 3 2 144.44
14.6
Y Chahal to F Behardien, OUT! Chahal strikes on the last ball of the spell! He breaks the stand that was blooming. Is that the game for India? We shall find out. Floated delivery on the stumps, Behardien dances down the track to go big but is done in by the flight. Mistimes his lofted shot to long on where Manish Pandey comes a few yards in to take it and put an end to the 81-run association. The hosts need to score 5 more than 70 in 30 balls.
Heinrich Klaasen (W)c Suresh Raina b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 16 8 1 1 200
17.4
B Kumar to H Klaasen, OUT! Another one bites the dust! Career-best figures for Bhuvi now. Fuller ball, on the stumps, Klaasen clears the front leg and lofts it down the ground. Didn't get any meat behind the shot and it's a simple catch to Raina at long on. Can Kumar pick up a 5-fer?
Andile Phehlukwayoc Yuzvendra Chahal b Jaydev Unadkat 13 8 2 0 162.5
19.4
J Unadkat to A Phehlukwayo, OUT! Unadkat has one to his name as well. Hurls a cutter, wider outside off, Andile Phehlukwayo swings hard across the line but gets a top edge towards point where Chahal takes a sitter. Can India bowl South Africa out?
Chris Morrisc Suresh Raina b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 0 1 0 0 0
17.5
B Kumar to C Morris, OUT! And it's a FIVE-FER for Bhuvneshwar Kumar. His maiden in this format. What a performance! Another delivery on the stumps, Morris comes and doesn't waste anytime. Smacks it down the ground towards Raina at long on. He manages to hold onto as he catches it near the fingertips. Now then, can he pick up a hat-trick?
Dane Patersonrun out (Hardik Pandya) 1 1 0 0 100
17.6
B Kumar to D Paterson, OUT! It's a team Hat-trick for India! South Africa are falling like nine pins here. Paterson cuts it towards Pandya at backward point who half-stops it and concedes a run. The pair goes for the second even as Hardik recovers in time and returns a throw to Dhoni who takes the bails off. Paterson fails to make it in even with the dive. It's not even taken upstairs. End of an eventful-match-winning over.
