Marco Jansen to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! STREAKY! Marco Jansen has his hands on his head. He cannot believe how that missed the stumps. A length ball, angled in on off. Dhawan gets an inside edge, the ball scoots past the stumps and runs down to the fine leg fence.

Aiden Markram to KL Rahul, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! There is the big wicket of the Indian skipper and Markram strikes. This is flatter and on off, Rahul plays for the turn. He looks to defend but this goes on with the arm. It takes the outside edge and de Kock takes it. Huge wicket as Rahul is very dangerous once he gets his eye in. Also, like most of the times, it is not the ball that turns but the one that goes on with the arm is what gets you out.

Aiden Markram to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Put away and Kohli is off the mark in style. A gift for him. Short and on middle, this is pulled through mid-wicket and it races away to the fence.

Keshav Maharaj to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! TIMBER! That is a rippa of a delivery! Wow! That came from nowhere. First real sign of the ball turning big in this innings. Dhawan and Kohli, both are taken by surprise here. This is shorter in length and outside off, Dhawan shapes himself to cut it, this one turns back in sharply goes under the bat and hits the stumps. Is that the wicket which changes the game? The stand which was taking the game away has been broken. 159 more needed in 147. Dhawan walks back after a fine knock, a good return for him back in the side. He just did not seem like getting out but Maharaj has produced something special.

28.2
Tabraiz Shamsi to Virat Kohli, OUT! Top edge and taken! There is the wicket South Africa needed, the big fish, Virat Kohli, once again fails to covert his start into a big one and have to say, the hosts on top now. Also, the wicket has started to play tricks quite a lot now. This is tossed up, slower and on middle, Kohli who is not a natural sweeper, goes for it, the ball though sticks in the surface, Kohli is through his shot, it goes off the toe-end and it is a simple catch to Bavuma at mid-wicket. Kohli looks down at the surface and righty so, that ball just did not arrive.

33.5
Lungi Ngidi to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! GLOVED AND TAKEN! Iyer walks back and South Africa now have control over this game. Shreyas was looking at so much ease but now falls! A short one down the leg side, Iyer looks to pull, once again this sticks in the surface. It goes off the glove as Iyer is through his shot. De Kock takes it. An appeal and the finger is raised. Now South Africa are into the all-rounders. India still 116 runs away.

35.5
Lungi Ngidi to Venkatesh Iyer, OUT! CAUGHT! Venkatesh Iyer tries to break the shackles but holes out instead. A short ball, on off. Iyer stays inside the crease and hooks it towards deep square leg. He does not get the desired distance on it. Rassie van der Dussen takes a sharp catch in the deep. Lungi Ngidi gets his second wicket of the game. South Africa well on top here.

Into the tail-enders now, South Africa are in a hurry to end things here. A full-length ball, on off, it stays low after hitting the deck. Ashwin makes room and looks to push it to the off side but gets an inside edge and sees the ball shatter the stumps behind.
