| Shikhar Dhawan | 24 | 14 | 3 | 2 | 171.42 |
|
4.2 OUT! Wicket off a full toss! Would you believe it? Duminy will be thanking his stars as you don't deserve a wicket on this sort of a delivery. Doles out a full toss, Shikhar dances down the track and hits it hard but fails to clear the in-field. Spoons a simple catch to Farhaan Behardien who backtracks a bit at mid on. He coped a blow a while back and is seen walking off the field after the catch. This isn't good for his side but for now, they can celebrate as they got rid of dangerous Dhawan. 44/2

| Rohit Sharma | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
1.1 OUT! Rohit Sharma walks back for a golden duck! Dala is up and running here. He has struck on the very first ball. What a start! He was the one who removed Rohit in the first game and does so again. Bowls a length delivery on middle and it moves off the surface and stays a bit low too. Rohit is a little late in getting his bat down and gets struck on the pads. A loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger. They talk about the review but Rohit doesn't opt for one and continues his way back to the pavilion. Good call, as he was a dead duck, showed the replays. 0/1

| Suresh Raina | 30 | 24 | 5 | 0 | 125 |
|
10.4 OUT! Got him... Andile Phehlukwayo strikes just at the right time for his side. Keeps it full on the stumps, Raina gets low and across to play the paddle shot but misses to get rapped on the pads. Andile keeps appealing and appeals till he gets a positive nod from the umpire. Suresh walks towards his partner, thinks of the review but his partner is not too keen. Raina walks back. It seems like it would have gone on to hit the stumps. One can say, that attempted shot was needless by the southpaw with Pandey going great guns from the other end. 90/4

| Virat Kohli C | 1 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 20 |

5.3 OUT! Virat Kohli comes and leaves early. Big, big wicket for the hosts! Sunil Gavaskar on air says, South Africa haven't seen the back of this man often on this tour and will be really elated now. Dala is really pumped up, as he gets his second of the evening. Hurls it on a back of a length and gets it to straighten a touch with some extra bounce. Kohli gets back to probably steer it away but the ball takes some parts of his gloves and settles into Klaasen's mitts. Now then, can South Africa capitalize on this excellent beginning? They have got a real chance as they have nipped out the top three Indian batsmen who have hurt them big time. 45/3

|
5 OUT! This will hurt South Africa's chances, they are behind by 9 runs as per the DL method now. A good length ball around off, Hendricks swings his bat across the line but mistimes his shot in the air towards deep mid-wicket. A simple catch for Hardik Pandya in the deep. That was a knuckle ball, shows the replay. The Indian bowlers are using this variation to good effect of late. 38/2

| JJ Smuts | 2 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 22.22 |
|
3.5 OUT! Clever change in pace and JJ Smuts is completely fooled. An off pace delivery, a little short around off, 117 kph, Smuts attacks forward, tries to play a cross-batted shot but realizes very late that the ball is coming at him quite slowly. He is already halfway through and then tries to pull out. Fails to do so as the ball takes the top edge and balloons in the air. Raina comes running forward at covers and completes the catch. Good comeback by Unadkat. India draw first blood. 24/1

| Heinrich Klaasen Wk | 69 | 30 | 3 | 7 | 230 |
|
13.1 OUT! Against the run of play, India have a wicket, that too, a big one. Heinrich Klaasen is on his way back to the pavilion. Unadkat returns in the attack and angles in a slower length ball in line of the stumps. Klaasen backs away to swing it over the leg side but fails to get proper connection. It takes a thin edge to the keeper and Dhoni makes no mistake. They appeal and the finger goes up. What a knock by Heinrich, he has put South Africa on the front foot! Also, the 93-run stand off 49 balls is over. Carnage. 131/3

| David Miller | 5 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 83.33 |

14.5 OUT! Pandya delivers for India, Miller holes out! Big moment in this match. A short ball around off, David tries to wheel a pull shot but gets a top edge. It flies down to fine leg where Thakur moves forward to take the catch safely. 48 needed from 31 balls. This is getting close now. 141/4
