- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR35.4 taken at deep square leg! Bumrah brings the breakthrough. Short ball this time, de Kock goes for the pull with a fielder in the deep on leg, and Dhawan is ready there to grab it and celebrate it with his thigh slap and the raised finger 214/42.1 edged and this nicely carries through to the keeper. Another excellent delivery from Chahar. Full, angling in, then swinging away from Malan who is opened up. He is on the move as he jabs at the ball. The outside edge settles into the gloves of Pant. Finally some new-ball bite for India in ODI cricket 8/16.3 Chahar ventures wide of the crease, full and holds its line outside off, tapped away to the right of mid-off. Rahul, the stand-in captain, swoops down on the ball and effects a direct hit at the non-striker's end. Bavuma takes a fairly circuitous route, instead of running in a straight line, and is caught fractionally short in the end. Two wickets in the powerplay for India 34/212.2 finds Ruturaj at deep midwicket and Chahar gets his second! There were shouts of "catch" as soon as Markram arched back to pull that short ball to the leg side, not quite getting on top of it, and Ruturaj went to his left from deep square leg to just about hold on to it near chest height. Almost popped out 70/336.5 another one caught in the deep, and this one's an excellent catch from Shreyas Iyer! van der Dussen went for the big sweep, it went high on the leg side and Iyer ran and ran to his right from deep midwicket, put in a diving slide in the end, and got his hands under the ball just in time 218/549.3 another slower ball, at 93kmh, and another good catch taken by Kohli at the straight boundary! A really slow offcutter very wide outside off, Miller swings down the ground and it could have even gone for six had Kohli not intercepted it at the long-off boundary 287/940.1 run-out chance, Pant thinks it's out! Miller tucked the ball with the turn to midwicket and ran across, there was Shreyas Iyer there who swooped in, and threw the ball quickly to Pant. It wasn't a direct hit, but accurate enough for Pant to collect and whip the bails off to find Phehlukwayo short despite a desperate dive 228/647.2 slower ball, nearly in the block hole outside off, and Pretorius swings big on the leg side for the big shot, but the lack of pace means he can't clear deep midwicket where Suryakumar takes the catch easily 272/748.5 slower offcutter, short of length and wide as well, which means Maharaj is not in complete control of the swing down the ground. It's a leading edge straight down, and Kohli takes it while running to his left from long-on 282/849.5 that's it, all over for South Africa! Another slower ball does the job as Magala tries to go over the covers but can't clear Rahul at the edge of the circle 287/10Extras18 (lb 2, nb 3, w 13)TOTAL287 all out (49.5 Overs, RR: 5.75)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Janneman Malan, 2.1 ov), 2-34 (Temba Bavuma, 6.3 ov), 3-70 (Aiden Markram, 12.2 ov), 4-214 (Quinton de Kock, 35.4 ov), 5-218 (Rassie van der Dussen, 36.5 ov), 6-228 (Andile Phehlukwayo, 40.1 ov), 7-272 (Dwaine Pretorius, 47.2 ov), 8-282 (Keshav Maharaj, 48.5 ov), 9-287 (David Miller, 49.3 ov), 10-287 (Sisanda Magala, 49.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 edged and taken at first slip. Good length and nips away outside off with extra bounce. Rahul plays away from the body, jabs at it and nicks it to the right of Malan at first slip 18/122.2 Indeed, Phehlukwayo provides SA with the breakthrough. Digs it short and outside off, Dhawan goes for the hook, but the ball gets big on him. He can only send a top edge behind to de Kock for 61 116/231.4 Maharaj gets the big wicket in his last over, is that the match? Kohli is surprised there by the turn and bounce and Bavuma takes an important catch running back from cover point. It wasn't very short but short enough for Kohli to go back, he wanted to turn the ball to leg but the sharp turn and bounce meant the ball was heading well outside off, and in surprise, Kohli's bat rose on the off side and the leading edge went high enough for Bavuma to get under while facing the boundary 156/422.6 Pant dashes out and holes out first ball. What a double-strike from Andile Phehlukwayo. Pant advances at Phehlukwayo, he floats it full and wide of off, asking Pant to reach out for the ball. Pant intended to go over cover, but ends up carving it squarer to sweeper cover 118/337.1 Iyer has fallen to the short ball once again. Magala bangs a lifter, Iyer takes it on with a pull but can't quite control it. Andile grabs an overhead catch at long leg. Timely strike for SA 195/539.5 Pretorius returns and takes out Suryakumar. He draws a leading edge to mid-off. Another cutter into the pitch, Surya aims to turn it over the leg side, instead spoons it to Bavuma at mid-off 210/647.1 Chahar falls, this is another twist in the tale! Slower ball wide outside off, Chahar goes after it with a big drive, doesn't middle it at all, and Pretorius goes back towards the edge of the circle, dives backwards and gets under it nicely 278/842.1 finds mid-off straightaway! How are all the catches going to Bavuma? A cutter from Ngidi, not quite drivable length, much shorter, but Jayant goes for a drive on the up down the ground, and it's a straightforward catch for Bavuma at mid-off 223/748.3 Bumrah wants to go over the top, but guess who takes the catch - Temba Bavuma! Bumrah thinks of taking India closer to victory with a boundary because singles are hard to come by now. Tries to loft the fuller delivery from outside off but he can't clear mid-off 281/949.2 taken at point, South Africa finish the series 3-0! Chahal went back for the pull and swung but the rising ball took a leading edge and hard went anywhere, not even towards the edge of the circle on the off side 283/10Extras11 (lb 2, nb 2, w 7)TOTAL283 all out (49.2 Overs, RR: 5.73)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (KL Rahul, 4.1 ov), 2-116 (Shikhar Dhawan, 22.2 ov), 3-118 (Rishabh Pant, 22.6 ov), 4-156 (Virat Kohli, 31.4 ov), 5-195 (Shreyas Iyer, 37.1 ov), 6-210 (Suryakumar Yadav, 39.5 ov), 7-223 (Jayant Yadav, 42.1 ov), 8-278 (Deepak Chahar, 47.1 ov), 9-281 (Jasprit Bumrah, 48.3 ov), 10-283 (Yuzvendra Chahal, 49.2 ov)
