  • Wayne Parnell4-0-32-0
  • Kagiso Rabada4-0-31-1

3-0 or 2-1? Vishal will bring you the first ten overs of the chase in a few minutes. Hang around until then.

MaK: "Isn't the new batsman supposed to take strike? When Karthik got out" --- IPL is over. Welcome back to international cricket.

Gaikwad speaks after his fifty today: "It is a tricky wicket. There was a bit of extra bounce, and the slower ones were holding a little bit. I think it will get better, but 180 is a good score [even if] 10-15 runs short. The message will be to bowl slightly slower for spinners. For fast bowlers, anything on a hard length... [His message to himself] Just back yourself to the limits."

Anirudh: "I see SA chasing this in 18 overs."

8.36pm A good score, but perhaps not good enough. At 97 after ten overs, India looked set for 200; at the end of 20, they get stuck on 179, as none of Pant and Karthik really fire. Pandya manages a few late hits, but he may have been a bit too late to do that on a flat pitch.

Parnell to Pandya, no run, that is a sharp yorker! Fires it on middle, as Pandya rams the bat down last moment. The ball goes to the man at point. He wants a single, but perhaps realises that there will be only one ball left after this

Deep point in, midwicket out

Rabada to Karthik, OUT, caught at short third man! Karthik falls while trying to scoop. The ball is full and right in line with the stumps, as Karthik shapes early to play that over the keeper's head. His bat just about covers the stumps, but the ball takes a leading edge to lob to the other side instead. Parnell sits under it comfortably, and takes it with a glee
