2.1 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Mohammed Siraj strikes and India draw first blood! Siraj comes over the wicket and bowls this on a good length and outside off, angling away, Quinton de Kock stays in crease and tries to reach for it and drive it away without much footwork. He only manages to get an inside edge back onto the stumps. It was a lazy shot from de Kock and he paid the price. South Africa lose their first wicket. 7/1

9.5 OUT! LBW! A maiden ODI wicket for Shahbaz Ahmed and South Africa lose their second wicket inside the first Powerplay. This is served on a nagging length, around middle and just flighted a bit. Janneman Malan looks to block off the front foot but the ball just turns away ever so slightly and beats the bat, hitting the pads. There is a huge appeal for lbw from the bowler and the keeper but the umpire remains unmoved. Shikhar Dhawan eventually goes for the review. The third umpire checks UltraEdge first and there's clearly no bat involved. Ball Tracking then comes up with three reds and the Indian players are elated as the decision is reversed. A brilliant review from India. 40/2

| Reeza Hendricks | 74 | 76 | 9 | 1 | 97.36 |
|
31.2 OUT! TAKEN! The decision to bring Siraj back into the attack has worked in favour of India. Siraj gets his second wicket and finally breaks this dangerous partnership. He bowls this short of a length and on middle and leg, Reeza Hendricks goes for the pull shot but his bat turns in his hand when he connects with the ball. As a result, Hendricks fails to get elavation and the ball goes flat and in the air towards deep square leg where Shahbaz Ahmed takes a good catch running to his left. Reeza Hendricks though has done his job but he will be disappointed not to get to that ton. South Africa three down now. 169/3

| Aiden Markram | 79 | 89 | 7 | 1 | 88.76 |
|
38.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Very soft dismissal and Aiden Markram is distraught with himself. This is short and outside off from Washington Sundar, there to be hit. Markram backs away and goes a bit too hard at it. Markram loses his shape a bit and ends up reaching for it. The ball is hit hard and flat to the left of xtra cover where Shikhar Dhawan takes a good low catch diving to his left. Markram departs after a good knock and India now have the opening they were looking for. 215/5

| Heinrich Klaasen | 30 | 26 | 2 | 2 | 115.38 |
|
38 OUT! TAKEN! A really good catch in the deep and Kuldeep Yadav gets his man. Kuldeep holds this one back and serves it on a length and down the leg side. Heinrich Klaasen pre-meditates and walks past the leg stump. Klaasen looks to go over long off again but is early in his shot and the ball turns in as well. The ball goes off the toe end of the bat and over mid on. Mohammed Siraj from long on races in and takes a brilliant tumbling catch just inches off the ground. Klaasen departs after a quick start and South Africa lose their fourth. 215/4

46.2 OUT! CAUGHT! The pressure was mounting and Shardul Thakur gets the breakthrough for India. This is once again bowled slower but on a hard length and pushed outside off. Wayne Parnell is way too early in his shot and can't quite adjust. In the end, Parnell just ends up chipping it down towards wide long off where Shreyas Iyer takes a simple catch. Thakur strikes in his comeback over and South Africa just unable to finish with a flourish here. 256/6

| Keshav Maharaj C | 5 | 13 | 0 | 0 | 38.46 |

49.5 OUT! TIMBER! What a final over this is turning out to be by Mohammed Siraj! Siraj bowls this quicker and fuller. The ball just tails in a bit from around the off pole. Keshav Maharaj backs away and looks to swing it hard across the line. The pace is just too much to handle for Maharaj and the ball goes on to knock the off stump out of the ground. Siraj picks up his third and this has been a brilliant fightback by India in the final few overs. 277/7

8.5 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Kagiso Rabada strikes this time and sends the set batter back to the hut. It is a soft dismissal but a great catch on the follow through from the bowler. Rabada bowls this a touch fuller, on middle, sticks to the surface a bit, Shubman Gill is early through his drive and ends up just looping it back to the bowler where Kagiso Rabada goes down and takes a stunning low catch.

34.3 OUT! TAKEN! Ishan Kishan cannot believe it but he has to walk back after a stellar inning. Bjorn Fortuin comes from over the wicket and drags one down around the off pole. Kishan rocks back and it is there to be hit. Kishan goes hard at it and ends up hitting it flat. There's no elevation on it and Reeza Hendricks at the mid-wicket fence takes a very good low catch in front of him. Fortuin gets his maiden ODI wicket as well. Kishan departs 7 runs short of a maiden ODI ton and South Africa might have just got a chance to make a comeback here. 209/3
