- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.6 Maharaj gets his man finally but Ishan has done his job. Thumps the full ball straight to Stubbs at wide long-on. The length made it tough for Ishan to get under it. Smart bowling finally from Maharaj but Ishan is not happy as he walks back shaking his head. 137/26.2 Dropped and out Gaikwad dares to venture out of the crease. Parnell pulls his length back and hits the splice. Gaikwad is cramped for room as he drags a catch to Bavuma at midwicket 57/116.1 Knocked him over! Shreyas looks to heave it across the line but misses the cross-seam fuller one and is bowled. End of a good knock. 156/319.1 Good start to the final over as Nortje gets Pant. Manages to reach the slow, length ball outside off but hits it straight down sweeper's throat. End of a superb knock in his first outing as India's T20I captain. 202/4Extras15 (b 1, lb 2, w 12)TOTAL211/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10.55)Fall of wickets: 1-57 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 6.2 ov), 2-137 (Ishan Kishan, 12.6 ov), 3-156 (Shreyas Iyer, 16.1 ov), 4-202 (Rishabh Pant, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.4 Axar has de Kock holing out to Kishan. Pushed through outside off and turning into de Kock who shapes for a slog-sweep. He can't clear Kishan at deep square leg. Initially, it seemed like Kishan had overran and misjudged it, but he gets into a side-on position and pouches the catch. Axar is still wringing his hand in pain 81/32.2 Pant thinks he has his man. Bavuma walks back. Umpire Madanagopal refers it to the TV umpire Sharma. The soft signal is out and it will stay out. Seems like the slower legcutter outside off, Bavuma chases the moving back and nicks it before belatedly tucking his bat inside the line. Ultra Edge detects a spike and Pant plunges forward to grab a clean catch. There's the breakthrough for India 22/15.2 Harshal's trademark dipper castles Pretorius. 120ks slower full-toss, dips so very late and fools Pretorius. Harshal breaches Pretorius' defences and knocks out the off stump. Harshal is pretty pumped 61/2Extras12 (lb 7, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL212/3 (19.1 Overs, RR: 11.06)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Temba Bavuma, 2.2 ov), 2-61 (Dwaine Pretorius, 5.2 ov), 3-81 (Quinton de Kock, 8.4 ov)
