Lungi Ngidi to KL Rahul, FOUR! KL Rahul is off the mark and so is the Indian side. Short and wide, Rahul looks to cut hard but just gets a decent enough connection. The ball goes through cover-point and races away into the fence.

4.1
Lungi Ngidi to KL Rahul, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! KL Rahul is sent packing early and Lungi Ngidi has the breakthrough. This is nicely bowled, a length ball which is angled in from outside off. The ball just straightens after pitching and that is what catches out Rahul. Rahul is on the back foot and looks to block it out but ends up poking at it with hard hands. The ball goes off the outside edge and Janneman Malan takes a sharp catch at first slip. South Africa off to a perfect start here.

14.5
Sisanda Magala to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Edged away but that was somewhat intentional. Fullish ball, on off. Dhawan just ever so slightly opens the face of the bat and runs it past short third man for a boundary.

Dhawan goes for the pull but gets the top edge on it. The ball goes high in the air and towards the keeper. Quinton de Kock takes the easiest of catches. 172 needed in 166 now and things might get interesting. Dhawan goes for a well-made fifty.

22.6
Andile Phehlukwayo to Rishabh Pant, OUT! TAKEN! A golden duck for Rishabh Pant and Rahul Dravid doesn't seem to be happy at all. A really poor shot from Pant. Poor shot selection and South Africa get their third. Slower ball, on a length, wide outside off. Rishabh Pant dances down the track looking to go over the cover fence but doesn't middle it. The ball goes straight to sweeper cover and Sisanda Magala takes the catch. He played brilliantly in the last game but has left his team in a spot of bother now.

31.4
Keshav Maharaj to Virat Kohli, OUT! TAKEN! Huge, huge moment in the match! Keshav Maharaj has dismissed Virat Kohli yet again and South Africa are right back on top of proceedings here. This is bowled quicker, around 104 kph and on off. Kohli looks to hang deep and looks to turn it on the leg side. The ball hurries onto him and bounces a bit extra too. The ball eventually goes off the leading edge and pops up towards the cover region. The skipper, Temba Bavuma over there takes a good catch while running back and Kohli has to walk back. Can the hosts now pile on the pressure?

32.5
Aiden Markram to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX! Clean strike! Tossed up, around off and turning in. Suryakumar Yadav gets low and slogs it with the spin all the way over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. That will ease the nerves a bit.

But he hits it straight to the man at fine leg. Andile Phehlukwayo is there and he is standing in the shadows. He moves to his right and takes a very good catch as the ball was traveling fast. 93 needed in 77.

W
39.5
Dwaine Pretorius to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! TAKEN! GONE! That should be the game for South Africa! Length ball, around off. Yadav looks to flick it away but is way too early in the stroke. It takes the leading edge and goes towards mid off. Temba Bavuma makes no mistake there and India are on the downward slide now. Their middle order has been a big issue throughout this series. Suryakumar Yadav played really well for his 39 runs but lacked support from the other end.

Yadav hangs deep and looks to thump it over mid off. He gets no timing on it and ends up chipping it straight to Temba Bavuma at mid off who takes a regulation catch. South Africa can smell victory here.

42.5
Lungi Ngidi to Jasprit Bumrah, FOUR! Jasprit Bumrah tries to be cheeky here and gets a good reward. Another slower one, on a length and outside off. Bumrah hangs back and looks to run it fine.

43.2
Dwaine Pretorius to Deepak Chahar, SIX! Bang! Deepak Chahar is keeping India in it. Another slower one, bowled into the pitch and around off. Chahar is ready for it, he hangs deep and launches it well over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.
