- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 Bavuma hangs onto this fast-travelling ball at mid-off. Bavuma swoops to his right and takes it in front of his eyes. Terrific catch. Full and on off or just a shade outside off, Rohit leaves his crease and hits it in the air. He does not get enough elevation to clear the infielder 62/110.3 Jaffa deluxe! Stock ball from around the wicket at 84ks was full and drifted in to land just outside leg, it turned away to beat the leading edge of the bat as Gill tried to nudge it and then delicately trimmed top of off. Gill is in disbelief and is asking for confirmation from the umps of him being bowled. All that the umpire's review does, as the replays show, is just how good that was. 93/236.5 Skied really high, this time Shreyas is caught out. Offcutter on a three-quarter length outside off, Shreyas swiped across with might but could only get a top edge. Markram took the catch at mid-on. Ngidi breaks the 134-run stand. Excellent innings from Shreyas, who picked up pace after starting slow in tough conditions. 227/342.1 Brilliant running catch from Rassie at deep square leg! Ran to the diagonal right, his knees were sliding across and the ball was dropping down to the left. He did well to cup the ball in and keep it there. Was a length ball at 139ks around off, KL got across to get inside the line. Skied the flick, looked like he wanted to go finer. 249/445.6 QDK dives across full length to his diagonal left and takes a low catch. Appeal for a catch. Sent upstairs, SKY is walking. Was a fullish ball outside off, SKY went for the booming reverse sweep, got beaten by the slowness of the ball. It popped right up off the glove and QDK took it above the ground, his gloves closed in like wings and Shamsi has ended SKY's cameo. 285/5Extras26 (lb 2, nb 2, w 22)TOTAL326/5 (50 Overs, RR: 6.52)Fall of wickets: 1-62 (Rohit Sharma, 5.5 ov), 2-93 (Shubman Gill, 10.3 ov), 3-227 (Shreyas Iyer, 36.5 ov), 4-249 (KL Rahul, 42.1 ov), 5-285 (Suryakumar Yadav, 45.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 Good comeback from Siraj. He has de Kock chopping on. Siraj immediately shortens his length and brings this back in against the angle. Not enough room to cut that one away. He can only direct it back onto his own stumps. Siraj does the CR7 celebration and the Eden celebrates with him 6/18.3 And Jadeja knocks Bavuma over with his third ball. This is a beauty. Pushed through even faster, angling into middle, then turns away to beat the outside edge and hit the off stump. Jadeja wheels away in celebration 22/213.1 Huge lbw appeal! Shami has the T, Rahul signalling T. Rohit not impressed with the ball deflecting to the boundary. He has to be convinced to review. Looked a great shout though. Length ball pitched fourth stump and decked back in, VDD tried to block it straight slightly away from the body. It hit him on the back leg after beating the inside edge, hit just over the knee-roll and Hawk-Eye says it'd go on to smash the top of middle and leg! 40/59.5 This is a Shami special! SA are three down inside the powerplay. Good length, angling in at off stump, which means Markram has to play at this. Shami gets it to jag away off the seam and kisses the outside edge. Markram is opened up. After bringing a couple back into Markram, he gets one to leave him. Rahul goes low and completes a smart catch 35/312.5 Big lbw appeal from India. Turned down, Rohit reviews. Very full, 99ks, Klaasen went for the sweep. I thought there was an inside edge. First replay shows that the sound actually came off the bat hitting the ground, so no edge. It hit him on the front pad, well below the knee-roll. It's pitching just in line with leg stump and straightens for the impact to be in line and go on to hit leg stump! Jadeja proven right and his hair's getting a proper ruffling Klaasen is in agony, walks back in disbelief. 40/416.3 Miller goes across for another paddle, misses and his stumps are left in a mess. On a length, landed around off and straightened. Premeditated from Miller, who was outside off stump as he tried to help it fine.You miss, I hit stuff for Jadeja. South Africa continue to crumble. 59/625.4 Sits in the pitch and Jansen chips it straight to cover. Googly outside off on a length, Jansen was on the back foot and was through with the shot too early. Ballooned towards Jadeja's breadbasket 79/818.4 Cleaned up, turns away to smash off stump. Length ball landed around leg and Maharaj went square-on and tried to block it straight. Got beaten on the outside edge to hand Jadeja his first four-for in World Cups. 67/726.2 Five for Jadeja, he tosses the ball up, catches it and shows it off with a beaming smile! Slow 84ks full ball around off, spun in a bit to find the inner-half of Rabada's thrashing drive. Hovered low, Jadeja went low and took it well. 79/927.1 That's it, A 243-run win for India, they will finish as table-toppers as no other team can get to 16 points from hereon. Full googly lands on middle and straightens, beats the straight drive and rattles the stumps. 81ks 83/10Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL83 all out (27.1 Overs, RR: 3.05)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Quinton de Kock, 1.4 ov), 2-22 (Temba Bavuma, 8.3 ov), 3-35 (Aiden Markram, 9.5 ov), 4-40 (Heinrich Klaasen, 12.5 ov), 5-40 (Rassie van der Dussen, 13.1 ov), 6-59 (David Miller, 16.3 ov), 7-67 (Keshav Maharaj, 18.4 ov), 8-79 (Marco Jansen, 25.4 ov), 9-79 (Kagiso Rabada, 26.2 ov), 10-83 (Lungi Ngidi, 27.1 ov)
