7.2 OUT! In the air... taken! Shamsi has the last laugh against Dhawan. A very good catch by Bavuma and a welcome wicket for South Africa. Dhawan was really looking in great flow out there. He tries to go big once again as he steps down the track. Does not get to the pitch of the ball but still goes ahead with the shot. It turns away a little and he ends up slicing it high up in the air towards extra cover where Bavuma takes a brilliant catch moving backwards. South Africa will now try and pull things back a little. 63/2

2.2 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Hendricks makes an impact on his return to the side. Gets Rohit Sharma who fails to make an impact once again. This is a top nut. It is on a good length and on off, it is angling away. Rohit looks to defend but is done in by the angle. It goes off the outside edge low towards widish first slip where Reeza takes it just inches above the ground. Silence here in the stadium and the South Africans are pumped up. They needed a wicket especially after the last over by Rabada. 22/1

| Virat Kohli C | 9 | 15 | 0 | 0 | 60 |

8.3 OUT! Kohli holes out! Once again the crowd is silenced. An uncharacteristic shot by Kohli, especially after they just lost Dhawan. That though is a top, top catch. This is angled into the batter, it is slightly fuller. Kohli whips it up in the air towards the deep mid-wicket region. Andile Phehlukwayo runs to his left and takes it brilliantly just before the ropes. He keeps his balance too. A much-needed wicket for Rabada. He hasn't been at his best in the overs he has bowled in this series but this should make him feel extremely good. Two wickets in quick succession for the visitors and India are in a spot of bother. 68/3

| Rishabh Pant Wk | 19 | 20 | 1 | 1 | 95 |
|
12.4 OUT! There goes Pant! He was looking to go after the bowlers after he hit that six and falls in that attempt. Once again an innings which started off in a promising manner ends with a not so impressive score. Fortuin floats it up on off, Pant looks to go big but does not time it well. He ends up slicing it towards long off where Phehlukwayo takes his second catch. So wickets at regular intervals are keeping South Africa ahead at the moment. 90/4

| Shreyas Iyer | 5 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 62.5 |
|
12.5 OUT! STUMPED OF A WIDE! Celebrates by pointing towards his head so either this might have been a plan or he might have seen the batter coming down the track. Nevertheless, South Africa have got two wickets in three balls and India have half their side back in the hut. Once again the shot could be questioned, especially after a wicket had just fallen. Iyer comes down the track but Fortuin bowls this down the leg side. Iyer looks to flick but misses. De Kock does well to move to his left, collect the ball and whip the bails off. 92/5

| Hardik Pandya | 14 | 18 | 1 | 0 | 77.77 |
|
19.5 OUT! Pandya is a goner! He though had hit that so hard. The ball literally took the fielder off his feet as he caught it. He was well inside the ropes though. This is full and on middle, Pandya smashes it but hits it flat towards long on. Miller there takes it but falls over as he does so. Pandya's uncomfortable stay comes to an end. 133/9

| Krunal Pandya | 4 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 57.14 |
|
14.3 OUT! Another one bites the dust for the hosts. Hendricks continues to impress on his return. Good length ball around off which shapes away and just a hint. Krunal pokes at it and gets an outside edge. De Kock behind the wicket does not miss out to pouch. A huge appeal follows and the umpire after thinking for a while raises his finger. 98/6

| Ravindra Jadeja | 19 | 17 | 1 | 1 | 111.76 |
|
19.1 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! He took that with so much ease. That is really a tough catch. It went so high, so high, that it almost had snow on it as it came down. A short one on middle, Jadeja is hurried into the pull. He only gets a top edge which lobs beside the pitch. Rabada calls for it and takes an easy catch. 127/7

| Washington Sundar | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 400 |
|
19.4 OUT! RUN OUT! Sundar has sacrificed his wicket here. A short one down the leg side. Sundar swings but misses. Pandya looks to steal a bye. De Kock throws it to the bowler who scores a direct hit at his end. Sundar is way too short that he has been given out on the field. The umpire signals a wide though. 133/8

10.1 OUT! That is a stunning catch from Kohli. We saw him take one brilliant catch in the second T20I to dismiss de Kock, this time it is one to dismiss his opening partner. A wicket at last for the Indians but maybe it is a little too late. The bowling change has worked wonders for the Indian side. Pandya makes an impact straightaway. This is short and on middle, it sticks in the surface. Hendricks is early in the shot. He ends up mistiming the shot. It lobs towards mid on where the fielder runs to his right, dives forward and takes it inches above the ground. Finally the crowd has something to cheer about. Also, let me remind you, it was Kohli's brilliant catch in the last game which shifted momentum, are we in for something similar here? 76/1
