Rajvardhan Hangargekar to Ethan-John Cunningham, OUT! THAT IS DEAD PLUMB! Error in judgment from Ethan-John Cunningham! This starts just outside off and comes back in. Ethan-John Cunningham makes a leave and it hits his pad in front of middle. A huge appeal and the finger is raised. That is poor start for South Africa. Perfect one for India.

Vicky Ostwal to Gerhardus Maree, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The pressure has gotten to Maree and India get another wicket. The move to get Vicky Ostwal has worked and he is proving to be the game changer for his side! This is flatter and outside off, skids through. Maree looks to push at it but it takes the outside edge and the keeper does the rest. We did mention the key for South African is going to be their battle against spin and for now, they are losing that battle. 150 more needed.

Nishant Sindhu to Dewald Brevis, SIX! What a shot that is! That is a huge hit. This is tossed up, it is very full and right in the slot. Brevis makes room and lofts it over the cover fence for a biggie. He moves into the 40s. Sindhu under presssure now.

Kaushal Tambe to Dewald Brevis, SIX! BANG! This might release some pressure! A full ball, on middle. Dewald Brevis reaches to the pitch of the ball and smashes it straight down the ground for a biggie. Also, Fifty for Brevis, what a knock this is turning out to be.

Raj Angad Bawa to Dewald Brevis, OUT! TAKEN! That is as clean as a whistle! What a catch and what a moment to pull out something special. Take a bow, Yash Dhull, that is an outstanding catch. India needed to produce something special to get rid of Brevis and they do. Also, what a relief for Bawa. He has been taken to the cleaners so far but gets the wicket which could well win the game for his side. Dewald Brevis comes down the track and Bawa bowls it on a length and on off. It is smashed low towards mid off. Yash Dhull dives forward and takes it inches above the ground. He does claim to have taken it. The umpires have a chat and then refer it. The soft signal is NOT OUT which means the third umpire needs conclusive evidence to overturn it and he did have a lot of evidence. End of an outstanding innings as Brevis held the key. India on top now and the celebration says it all, they are elated.

37.2
Raj Angad Bawa to Andile Simelane, FOUR! That is a beautiful shot! It was in the air but wide of the fielder and this should make him feel really good. Also, a boundary early in the over, can they make this count now. Fuller and on off, Andile drives, he gets it past the diving cover fielder and into the fence.
W
37.3
Raj Angad Bawa to Andile Simelane, OUT! TIMBER! That is an unplayable delivery! A horrible delivery to receive. Just can't do anything about it. It is on a length, this one stays very low. Andile goes back to defend but this just does not get up. It hits the lower part of the off pole. Bawa has another one. India well and truly on top now.
W
38.2
Vicky Ostwal to Michael Copeland, OUT! TIMBER! Vicky Ostwal has another one and it is now all falling apart for South Africa. This is another good delivery. Flatter and on middle, Copeland does not put in a big stride forward and looks to defend. The ball lands and then turns away. It goes past the outside edge and hits the stumps.
W
38.6
Vicky Ostwal to Kaden Solomons, OUT! BOWLED! Another one bites the dust! Vicky Ostwal has two in the over and four in total. Another top nut! He goes wide of the crease and angles it into the middle pole. Kaden Solomons probably should have come forward but hangs back and tries to play the original trajectory. The ball lands and then turns away. It goes past the outside edge and hits the off pole.

40.5
Rajvardhan Hangargekar to George Van Heerden, FOUR! Welcome boundary! George Van Heerden will play a key role now! Short of a length, on middle, he pulls it nicely and the ball bounces just before the ropes at mid-wicket for a boundary.
