Edge and out caught behind. Mohammed Shami keeps probing with the outside off line and gets an edge off Marco Jansen's bat. Rishabh Pant takes a very good catch behind the stumps. India now need two more wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
16:13 (IST) Dec 30

India need three wickets to register their first Test victory at SuperSport Park in Centurion. South Africa will depend on Temba Bavuma to hold the fort for them in the company of lower-order batters. The big question is how long they can hold off the Indian pace attack?

Welcome Back!
15:59 (IST) Dec 30
A relentless pace attack led by peerless Jasprit Bumrah put India on cusp of a deserving victory as South Africa were left in the dumps at 182 for 7 going into the lunch on the final day of the first Test. India now need three wickets in the remaining 73 overs while South Africa need 123 runs more which looks improbable at the moment.
15:40 (IST) Dec 30
India three wickets away from a big win
15:31 (IST) Dec 30
LUNCH BREAK! South Africa 182/7 after 66 overs, need 123 more to win. India need three wickets.
A brilliant first session on the fifth and final day for India as they took three South African wickets in it for 88 runs. The visitors now need three more wickets to register their first Test victory at SuperSport Park in Centurion. Temba Bavuma (34*) and Marco Jansen (5*) are on the crease for the hosts, trying to delay the inevitable. But they lost big wickets of skipper Dean Elgar (77) and Quinton de Kock (21) in the morning session.
15:24 (IST) Dec 30

14:58 (IST) Dec 30
OUT! Siraj cleans up de Kock for 21 | SA 161/6 in 59.3 overs
BOWLED! Big wicket for India. Quinton de Kock drags one onto his stumps from well outside off stump. And Mohammed Siraj is ecstatic as expected as he gets a massive breakthrough for the team. De Kock fell for 21 off 28 balls, which included two fours. South Africa are in big trouble now.
14:57 (IST) Dec 30
South Africa 161/5 after 59 overs, need 144 more to win
