India vs South Africa, 5th ODI: India beat South Africa to clinch historic series win​

9.4: J Bumrah to A Markram, OUT! Markram's luck finally runs out. India have broken through, just towards the closing stages of Powerplay 1. A length ball, on middle, Aiden looks to flick but gets a leading edge. Luckily for India, there is a mortal standing underneath it. Virat Kohli is the name. Takes the catch and then is pumped up with anger written everywhere on his face. But the Proteas have managed a good opening stand. Upto the middle order now.

9.3: J Bumrah to A Markram, Outside off, punched straight to cover.

9.2: J Bumrah to H Amla, Now an inside edge. The ball goes between his legs to fine leg. A single taken.

9.1: J Bumrah to H Amla, Full and outside off, Amla looks to push but gets a leading edge which does not carry to the bowler.

8.6: B Kumar to H Amla, Now Amla follows suit, dabbing the ball to third man for a run again. 10 from that over, Bhuvi has gone for 21 in his last 2, without actually bowling badly.

8.5: B Kumar to A Markram, Outside off, tapped to third man for a single. 50-RUN OPENING STAND. Great effort from the Proteas.

8.4: B Kumar to A Markram, FOUR! Stunning shot. On a length outside off, Markram gets on top of the bounce and punches it through point for a boundary! Successive ones for the captain. 226 more needed from 248 balls.

8.3: B Kumar to A Markram, FOUR! More luck for Markram. A length ball outside off, the skipper just has a hack. But it is a slower one and comes slowly off the surface. The result is that the ball goes off the inner half of the bat. But it is the shorter side of the ground and once it beats Hardik Pandya at square leg, just races away. The fielder starts to run, then looks at deep square leg and stops a bit, thinking that the latter will get to the ball. That costs him. Had he just continued running after the ball, might have saved the boundary.

8.2: B Kumar to A Markram, Full and outside off, driven uppishly but straight to cover.

It is coming, it is coming, it is coming. It is raining a few metres away from the ground. Don't want that coming over here...

8.1: B Kumar to A Markram, On middle, pushed straight to short mid-wicket.

7.6: J Bumrah to A Markram, Outside off, punched wide of cover for one.

7.5: J Bumrah to H Amla, Outside off, Hashim punches this towards cover and calls for a quick run. Hardik Pandya quickly gets across, takes aim, then has a shy at the bowler's end, only to miss. Amla would have been in anyways.

7.4: J Bumrah to H Amla, Too straight, whipped straight to square leg.

7.3: J Bumrah to H Amla, Slower ball, outside off, cutting in, pushed towards cover.

7.2: J Bumrah to A Markram, On a length outside off, Aiden pushes it towards mid on and calls Amla through for a quick single.

7.1: J Bumrah to A Markram, Full on middle, Markram is early into his flick and gets a leading edge which does not carry to cover.

6.6: B Kumar to A Markram, Outside off, dabbed to short third man for a run. 11 from that over.

6.5: B Kumar to A Markram, SIX! Great pick-up shot! Markram showing his intent here. A length ball on middle, Aiden just gets across and flicks it over square leg. The ball lands full on the ropes. Markram moves to 20 from 21 balls. 238 more needed from 259 balls.

6.4: B Kumar to A Markram, Straight, in line of the stumps, flicked straight to short mid-wicket.

The off side sweeper comes in. Fine leg, who was up, has gone back.

6.3: B Kumar to A Markram, Full and outside off, pushed straight to mid off.

6.2: B Kumar to A Markram, Now an outside edge is induced, which flies straight to short third man on the bounce.

6.1: B Kumar to A Markram, FOUR! Oh dear... what a way to find the gap. Outside off, Markram looks to punch this through the off side but gets a bottom edge. The ball goes between short third man and backward point but neither man puts in the dive and the ball goes through!

Keeper up.

5.6: J Bumrah to H Amla, The batsman rocks onto the back foot and punches the ball.

5.5: J Bumrah to H Amla, Stays back in his crease and blocks.

5.4: J Bumrah to H Amla, The batsman defends it from within the crease.

5.3: J Bumrah to H Amla, Defended off the back foot by the batsman.

5.2: J Bumrah to A Markram, DROPPED! Shreyas Iyer the culprit. Straightforward chance. Outside off, Markram hits this straight to cover, looking to go over the top. Iyer is standing a bit closer than normal but still, by international standards, that should have been taken. It isn't. The ball bursts through his hands and the batsmen take a single.

5.1: J Bumrah to H Amla, Excellent fielding effort. Amla wrists this through square leg and the ball races away. Bhuvneshwar Kumar races to his left too, getting to the ball and then sliding, getting his left leg to stop the ball. Three runs taken. 248 more needed from 269 balls.

4.6: B Kumar to A Markram, Walks across his stumps, again trying to force the issue. Misses his flick and the ball runs off his pads past the keeper who runs behind it. Two leg byes taken.

4.5: B Kumar to A Markram, Now he mistimes one over mid on. Is lucky that the ball lands safely. Returns for the second again.

4.4: B Kumar to A Markram, The ring of fielders on the leg side nearly produces a wicket. Virat has two men in the deep, both on the leg side and also two men catching at mid-wicket. So Aiden moves to the leg side and looks to go off side but the ball hits the toe end of the bat and lobs over cover. Two runs taken.

4.3: B Kumar to A Markram, Comes down the track and looks to go over the top but misses and is hit on the body. He is feeling the pressure, is Markram, consuming 12 balls for his 5 runs.

4.2: B Kumar to A Markram, On middle, pushed straight to mid on.

RUMBLE!!! It has been overcast all day, or rather, for most of the evening and now, we have heard the first sound of thunder. The breeze has picked up as well. All these are signs of an unwanted guest... fingers crossed...

4.1: B Kumar to A Markram, JUST WIDE! Close call for Markram. Almost falls into the trap. Full on off, Aiden whips it uppishly and nearly gives a catch to Rohit Sharma at short mid-wicket. He dives to his right but is a tad late. Mid-wicket then cuts it off. No run.

3.6: J Bumrah to H Amla, Full and outside off, Hashim pushes at it but the ball comes slowly off the surface and goes off the inside edge towards short mid-wicket.

3.5: J Bumrah to A Markram, Down the leg side, Markram flicks it uppishly towards fine leg for a run.

3.4: J Bumrah to A Markram, Outside off, well blocked out.

3.3: J Bumrah to H Amla, A length ball outside off, cutting in, Amla waits for the ball to come to him and then dabs it to third man for a single. 259 more needed from 279 balls.

3.2: J Bumrah to H Amla, Full and just outside off, solidly defended.

3.1: J Bumrah to H Amla, On a length outside off, coming in, worked to the leg side.

2.6: B Kumar to A Markram, Outside off, moving away, played straight to point. A very good over from Bhuvi, especially after going for a boundary on the second ball.
