Mohammed Shami to Rassie van der Dussen, OUT! TAKEN! Mohammed Shami gets his reward and this is a much-needed wicket for India! Beautiful bowling. When you are so consistent, there is bound to be a ball with a batsman's name on it. On a length, just short of full, outside off, Rassie van der Dussen plays at it tentatively. He is neither forward nor back and pushes at it. The ball comes in with the angle but after pitching, the ball moves away late. That squares van der Dussen up and he tries his best to follow the ball. But all he can manage is an outside edge, which goes straight into the hands of Cheteshwar Pujara at first slip. The game opens again. South Africa need 65 runs. India need 7 wickets. Game on.
