- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.6 excelling diving catch to break the stand! A soft dismissal after a cracking innings. Some turn and grip for the length ball on the stumps, Gaikwad waits and then ends up chipping the ball back, but Maharaj also has to go to his right and dive forward. He does so just in time and by getting his hands under the ball 97/113.4 nabbed at deep extra cover! Kishan falling - in every sense of the term - like Pant would. An offcutter from Pretorius, which is on a good length and very wide of off. Kishan has to reach out for that, not least because he seemed to be backing away. In the end, he lost his bottom hand, and also lost balance and fell to the off side as the ball found the fielder exactly where he was placed 131/312.6 taken at square leg! Nortje jumped right on time there, sitting just to the right of the square leg umpire. He had to leap, which he did well with both hands in the air. Shamsi has his man two balls after a review overturned the original out decision. Fuller ball on middle again, with a hint of turn into the right-hander. Iyer is too keen to sweep, but doesn't time it well 128/215.5 this time it is taken, the captain to the rescue to get his opposite number! Pant goes for the loft over the off side, as he spots the ball being full on middle and off. He loses his bottom hand - like he so often does - and ends up slicing the ball, as Bavuma runs back from mid-off to take a good catch. India losing their way here 143/418.3 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 158/5Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL179/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.95)Fall of wickets: 1-97 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 9.6 ov), 2-128 (Shreyas Iyer, 12.6 ov), 3-131 (Ishan Kishan, 13.4 ov), 4-143 (Rishabh Pant, 15.5 ov), 5-158 (Dinesh Karthik, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 taken at mid-on! Axar pitched it up and Bavuma chipped it down with a very straight bat, maybe trying to go wide of or over mid-on, but he couldn't clear the fielder, and Avesh tumbles to his right to get both hands to it 23/15.6 strikes on the last ball off the powerplay with a slower one! Hendricks wants to cash in on the last ball, he swings down the ground but the ball has no pace on it, and Chahal takes a few steps back from the edge of the circle at mid-off to get under it 38/28.6 Chahal and Pant combine for one more! Pretorius wants to dab it fine and late, it's pretty flat on the stumps, turning away just a bit, and the ball takes the edge before landing in the captain's gloves 57/46.5 he edges it behind, Pant takes it this time! Good amount of revs on the ball, pitches the length ball on leg with some drift, then turns it away as the batter makes room, and takes the outside edge as he tries to punch it away. Pant celebrates as soon as he pouches it, there's a big noise 40/314.5 Klaasen departs, and so do South Africa's hopes! He reaches out for this full delivery, which is tossed up well wide of off. Klaasen can do little except go for the big hit in this situation, and he ends up ballooning it to extra cover. Chahal gets his third, as India hammer pretty much the final nail for the day 100/610.6 good take by Gaikwad at extra cover! He has to leap a little, and stick his right hand out to grab the ball there, after trying to take that with both hands initially. Gaikwad can't believe it himself. A slower ball from Harshal on a back of a length on middle and off, as the ball angles away on being an offcutter. Miller checks his shot last moment, and ends up chipping it one-handed to the man placed close in. India halfway through 71/516.4 well taken by Chahal at deep point! Rabada slashed that hard, as Harshal went short and wide of off again. The ball travelled quickly there, as Chahal tumbled while completing the catch. South Africa lose another, as India get closer 113/718.2 skied to point, where Karthik takes a dolly! Maharaj took a few steps down the pitch after making room, as Bhuvi followed him to go fullish and outside leg. He lofted, but ended up only giving it height and not much distance. Bhuvi gets his first wicket of the day 126/818.5 run-out at the bowler's end after much fuss! Nortje is run-out. He went for a half-hearted pull to that ball on middle and off, but it really wasn't short enough to play that shot. Gets an inside edge on to his pad, as they try and scamper a run. Looked like they lost where the ball went, and started running 131/919.1 lofted to long-on first ball! Easy take by Avesh, who was standing a few steps into the boundary. India win, and remain alive in the series. A back of a length ball on off which angled in since it was an offcutter, and Shamsi, the No. 11, would have done nothing but had a whack at that. He tried to loft that after backing away, but got that off the higher side of the bat 131/10Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL131 all out (19.1 Overs, RR: 6.83)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Temba Bavuma, 3.6 ov), 2-38 (Reeza Hendricks, 5.6 ov), 3-40 (Rassie van der Dussen, 6.5 ov), 4-57 (Dwaine Pretorius, 8.6 ov), 5-71 (David Miller, 10.6 ov), 6-100 (Heinrich Klaasen, 14.5 ov), 7-113 (Kagiso Rabada, 16.4 ov), 8-126 (Keshav Maharaj, 18.2 ov), 9-131 (Anrich Nortje, 18.5 ov), 10-131 (Tabraiz Shamsi, 19.1 ov)
