09:58 PM (IST)

Spin from both ends now. Yuzvendra Chahal into the attack.

09:56 PM (IST)

DRINKS BREAK. Excellent passage of play for India. They were unlucky in the first 9 overs but Markram's wicket has opened the floodgates. With AB de Villiers gone, someone will have to play a blinder of an innings to take South Africa even close to India's total, let alone haul it.

15.5: K Yadav to D Miller, FOUR! Had he missed, he would have been a dead duck. Very full from Kuldeep, Miller pre-meditates his sweep shot and luckily for the batsman, he does not miss the ball. It travels like a rocket and goes through mid-wicket. Miller moves to 13 from 12 balls.

09:52 PM (IST)

15.1 : South Africa:75/3

09:49 PM (IST)

14.1 : South Africa:67/3

14.1: H Pandya to D Miller, Aggression from Pandya! Miller pushes this back to the bowler after walking a few steps. He then calmly gets back as he sees the bowler picking up the ball but it does not stop there. Pandya picks up the ball and then mimes a shy at the striker's end. But his aggression is defeated by the fact that Miller is not the least bit interested.

09:43 PM (IST)

12.5 : South Africa:65/3

12.5: H Pandya to de Villiers, OUT! There goes the match and the series! Too early to say? AB de Villiers has come and gone and India are all over South Africa like a rash. 3 wickets in the span of 20 balls. Hardik gets his second wicket in his second over. And we are not even properly into the spinners yet. All the best, South Africa. Coming to the ball, de Villiers flashes hard to a length delivery and does not move his feet. Only gets a thick outside edge and Dhoni does the rest. Hardik Pandya is all smiles. Now talk about 275 to chase...

09:39 PM (IST)

11.6 : South Africa:62/2

11.6: K Yadav to de Villiers, DIRECT HIT WOULD HAVE HAD AMLA. De Villiers works this through square leg and calls for the second. Amla responds but is a touch slow while turning for the second run. Hardik quickly gets to the ball and has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. Amla was a goner.

09:38 PM (IST)

11.5 : South Africa:60/2

11.5: K Yadav to de Villiers, The batsman has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery.

09:38 PM (IST)

11.4 : South Africa:60/2

11.4: K Yadav to de Villiers, 'NA NA!' shouts Dhoni. But Kuldeep gets away with that. A full toss outside off, de Villiers smashes it through the covers. Does not run, thinking that it will be a boundary but Rohit Sharma covers good ground to his left from long off and dives to stop the ball. Now de Villiers puts in the hard yards and returns for the second.

09:35 PM (IST)

AB de Villiers walks in at number 4, replacing Duminy. A truckload of responsibility lies on the shoulders of him and Amla. Another quick wicket and this game could be done and dusted.

09:34 PM (IST)

OUT! Hardik Pandya strikes, scalps JP Duminy for 1. South Africa 55/2 in 10.5 overs

09:34 PM (IST)

Another failure for JP. 2 wickets in 8 balls for India.

09:31 PM (IST)

There is some issue with Mahendra Singh Dhoni's finger. While attempting the catch, the ball hit him on the right hand and he is in pain. No physio though, play continues.

09:29 PM (IST)

10.1 : South Africa:53/1

He tries to get his bat in the way to cover the line but it goes off the inside edge and almost carries to Mahendra Singh Dhoni behind.

09:26 PM (IST)

JP Duminy walks in at number 3, replacing his skipper.
