    15.1 Brilliant work from Jitesh. Sent upstairs to check a run out. Yeah, Jitesh has pulled off some magic! The under-edge from the cut went over his left shoulder. He searched for it with his left hand first, then collected it with his right hand and then, in motion, swayed his arm across to dislodge the bails. QDK tried to make his way back but fell just short. Keeper's wicket denies another keeper a century. Correction: Wasn't a cut, QDK tried to defend it. Angled the bat touch too late 156/3
    4.1 Varun comes, Varun strikes. He homes in at the stumps like no one else. 92ks googly didn't spin, just rushed off a length. Landed on off, cracked middle and leg open. Hendricks pulling in vain. 38/1
    11.6 Makes room and holes out to deep midwicket. Markram clears his stance again and tries thwacking it for another six. Toes it from shin-height and it goes flat to the fielder. A bit of tap but Varun has his man, mutters a word or two under his breath 121/2
    16.1 Tilak has taken an excellent low catch at long-on. Brevis is walking. Arm ball on a length landed around leg and went with the angle. Brevis made a lot of room and wanted to pull it much squarer. Bat-face opened up on impact - faced the sky - and the ball went low to Tilak, who ran in and did well to cup the ball above the ground with the back of his palm below 160/4

    1.6 As good a ball that got Gill! 137ks length ball landed on middle and off, seam pointed to first slip, but what looked like an outswinger seamed away off the pitch. Abhishek wanted to defend straight but got opened up. Ball took a healthy outside edge and went to the keeper. 19/2
    0.5 Edged, taken at slip! Gill's T20 form doesn't pick up at home. Proper Test dismissal this. 135ks length ball seams away a touch. Gill was slightly squared up as he looked to defend straight. Hendricks takes a good catch to the right at first slip. 9/1
    7.3 Has that carried? Reeza Hendricks at cover isn't sure. Sent upstairs by the umpire. Very low catch. The fielder's knees were bent, he was collapsing to the right with the hands stretched low and forward. From the first angle (side on), the ump says the fingers are underneath as he comes up with the ball. Out it is. Was a fullish ball slanting away through fourth stump, Axar cleared the front leg and tried to lash it past cover. Bat turned in his hand. Hendricks did the rest. 67/4
    3.5 Another edge, another catch. Looked like a regulation wicket but not given. DRS timer ticking down. Markram checking with the fielders and takes the review with two seconds left. There was a sound and bat was away from the body. Was a length ball that landed on off and kept going with the angle. Finished around seventh stump. SKY was standing on off, trying to run it to third. Was a little too late to play, there's a murmur on Ultra-Edge as ball passes bat. Thinnest of edges, QDK took the catch and fell to his right with ball in possession. SKY looks up in disappointment and walks off. Silence around the ground. 32/3
    19.1 India have gone from 157 for 5 to 162 all out. 136ks full ball around off, Tilak drove through the line and couldn't clear long-on. Cross-seamer seemed to pick up pace off the pitch. 162/10
    14.2 Slot ball does the trick. Hardik sees it canting into him and slogs. The back leg collapsed, the front leg was out the way and then he drove across the line. Deep midwicket moved a few steps to the right and took it comfortably. An off-day for Hardik 118/5
    17.5 Leading edge goes very high... and is taken by Baartman at short third. Linde, at backward point, were searching for it. The latter took it after getting right under it, with bent knees. Was a length ball at the stumps that Jitesh looked to flick over midwicket 157/6
    18.1 Wow, that stump went flyin! 141ks rock on a llength, landed on middle and decked off stump. Seam-up. Dube looking to swat that over midwicket but that skidded past Dube well before he could get his bat down and across 158/7
    18.4 Shortish ball over middle. Arshdeep looks to repeat the shot from two balls ago, can't keep it down. Steers it straight to backward point 162/8
    18.6 High ball... taken at long-on. Slot ball on middle and off, Varyn camps back in the crease and looks to club it straight. Found Markram to precision 162/9
