    1.6 Ngidi bests his former CSK team-mate. This is a terrific comeback from Ngidi. Not as short as the previous ball and much closer to Gaikwad's body. Back of a length and seams away against the incoming angle with extra bounce. Gaikwad pokes at it and nicks it behind to the returning de Kock 13/1
    6.1 Nortje strikes with his first ball Short and kicks up from outside off, 137ks, Kishan aims to ramp it over the keeper or short third man. He can only top-edge it to de Kock. SA on top in Rajkot 40/3
    2.6 full inducker from Jansen, pings the pad. Not given out lbw. Bavuma challenges the on-field not-out decision. Beats the inside edge - no bat involved - and pings the back pad. The tracker suggests it would have crashed into off stump. Successful review for SA. First T20I wicket for Jansen 24/2
    12.5 Hides it wide, Pant slashes. The bait works as the top-edge is found. It would have been wide had he left, it was slow and Pant was on a knee as he looked to swipe it. Ballooned to short third man who took a comfy catch. Maharaj celebrates in delight. 81/4
    18.2 Stunner taken by Shamsi! It's sent upstairs but looks like a fair catch. Shamsi's eyes were closed as he turned on his back while on a rotating slide to his right. But the hands were under the ball and Pandya has to go. It was a short length ball that was wide that Pandya tried to carve over deep-backward point. It was a thick top-edge that was coming down until Shamsi intercepted 146/5
    19.2 Whacked again, this time it's taken at deep backward square. It was a slower outside leg, DK went on one knee and tried to lift it with a sweep. van der Dussen took a good, low catch while on the slide. 159/6

    4.5 wide of the crease, back of a length and slanting into middle, an advancing de Kock squirts an inside edge onto the pad, which drops into the pitch. There's a horrid mix-up between the wickets and de Kock gives up in the end. Harshal takes the bails off at the striker's end and runs him out on return 24/1
    3.1 short inducker, finishes on off, cramps Bavuma, who fends it off 20
    5.2 Avesh has Pretorius caught behind in the last over of the powerplay. 140.1ks, back of a length on the stumps, Pretorius slogs to the leg side and ends up nicking it behind to Pant. Gone for a six-ball duck 26/2
    13.2 Holes out to deep-midwicket! It was a length ball that was close to the tramline, the batter had shuffled well across and heaved hard. The connection was good but not enough to clear the fielder, who took it easily in the deep. 74/5
    8.2 Chahal bounces back to trap Klaasen. This seems plumb, but Klaasen still goes for a review of the on-field out decision. Full and straight, Klaasen misses the sweep against this non-turning delivery and is struck on the front pad below the knee-roll. No bat/glove involved. It would've crashed into leg stump. Klaasen has to exit for a run-a-ball 8 45/3
    10.2 Harshal knocks over the off stump! It was a seam-up ball into a back of length that went across the left hander and hit the top of the inner-half of off stump. Miller tried to work it across the line and looked to have been done by extra pace. 59/4
    13.4 Taken by Gaikwad at deep-midwicket who ran to his right and took it with a slide. It was a short of length ball that was following Jansen, who looked unperturbed by the hit off the last ball as he swung across the line. It went up, the fielder ran a few metres, slid his wrist to ensure it did not pop out. 74/6
    13.6 Balloons a pull to mid-on to offer Avesh his third wicket this over! It was a cutter into the pitch, Maharaj was making room and tried to heave it on the move. It hit the splice and went straight to the fielder. 78/7
    14.6 Nortje goes for the one-knee swipe but edges it to point. Chahal finally tossed it up as much as Pant and Shreyas were asking from behind. it was on the stumps, Nortje made room and heaved mightily but it went right up. 80/8
    16.5 Taken at long-on! That's the end as the players shake hands, Bavuma will not return. It was a fullish ball that was tossed up invitingly, it was lofted straight and the connection was not good enough. Long-on took it easily. 87/9
