Gerald Coetzee is gone! A mix-up in runing between Coetzee and Keshav Maharaj, and India captain Suryakumar Yadav has hit the bulle's eye at the striker's end to provide India a ninth wicket. Coetzee was found well short of his crease and he departs for 23 off 11 balls.

SA 114/8 (15)

SA 93/7 (13)

That is the big fish for India! Heinrich Klaasen departs after scoring 25 off 22 balls. Just when he started to accelerate, Varun Chakaravarthy got better of him. This is a big moment in the game. Chakaravarthy takes his second wicket.

Varun Chakaravarthy bowled it short on the second ball of the over and David Miller took full advantage of it. He rocked back and hit the ball for a six over the deep mid-wicket. A total of 10 runs came off the over.

SA 58/3 (7)

SA 44/3 (5.2)

SA 44/2 (5)

SA 30/2 (3.3)

A fuller ball from Arshdeep Singh on the pads of Tristan Stubbs and the batter has hit it away for a beautiful six. The ball sailed over the deep square leg fence for the biggie. That is also the first six of the South African innings.

SA 19/1 (2)

0.4 - Aiden Markram is undone by the swing there. The ball was pitch full and it got a hint of swing as Markram missed to time his shot well and only managed to get an edge into the hands of India wicketkeeper Sanju Samson.

SA 8/0 (0.3)

Arshdeep Singh has the new ball in hand. Ryan Rickelton and Aiden Markram have opened the batting for South Africa with the latter taking the strike. Here we go...

"I was in a zone, it was automatically flowing, so I let it flow. [what is intent for you?] It's a good question actually, if the ball is there to be hit, go for it. Focus on one ball at a time and that helps. The wicket does play a big role here, extra bounce and coming from India we do take time to understand the wicket. There's a huge wind blowing from one end and their bowlers bowled very well, our bowlers too would like to copy from them. [on his current form] If I think a lot I will get emotional. I waited for this moment for 10 years, I'm very happy, grateful and blessed. But I would like to keep my feet on the ground, be in the moment and enjoy. Looks a really good score, if we bowl to our 80% potential we should be fine," said the right-handed batter.

India scored just 40 runs in the last six overs, but thanks to the platform laid by Sanju Samson that the side still managed to cross the 200-run mark. Samson played a sensational knock of 107 while Gerald Coetzee, with figures of 3 for 37, was the best bowler for South Africa.

19.1 - Axar Patel is OUT! He hit the short ball outside of stump well but found Tristan Stubbs in the deep on the off side. India are yet to cross the 200-run mark. They are at 199 for 6.

18.5 - Rinku Singh is gone! Gerald Coetzee was hit for a four on the previous delivery but he has made  a good comeback. It was slower short ball from Coetzee down the leg side to Rinku, but the India batter failed to hit it with his bat and rather got his glove brushed in it. Klaasen took a good catch behind the stumps. The change of pace did the trick for Coetzee. 

IND 185/5 (18)

Good change in pace from Gerald Coetzee and he gets the wicket of Hardik Pandya. It was a short ball outside off stump and Hardik hit it into the hands of Marco Jansen in the deep. Hardik departs for two runs off 6 balls. 

IND 175/4 (15.4) 

14.4 - Tilak Varma has been dismissed by Keshav Maharaj at his individual score of 33 off 18 balls.

Sanju Samson slams century in 47 balls. What a terrific ton this is from the Indian opener! He has scored his second consecutive century in T20I cricket and has become the first-ever player from India to so so. Overall, Samson is the fourth player to achieve the feat in T20I cricket. India are 163/2 in 14.1 overs against South Africa.

IND 162/2 (14)

IND 142/2 (13)

IND 124/2 (12)

IND 111/2 (11)

IND 90/2 (9)

IND 73/1 (7.3)

That is a superb over from Keshav Maharaj. He took pace off the ball and kept his lines tight to concede only five singles in the over. Both Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav tried hard but failed to score any boundary in the over. Suryakumar even got a top-edge while trying to play a sweep shot, but luckily for him, the ball fell miles ahead the fine-leg fielder. 

IND 56/1 (6)

IND 48/1 (5)

IND 34/1 (4)

A big wicket for South Africa as the dangerman Abhishek Sharma is gone! He wanted to hit the Gerald Coetzee on the rise but the bounce on the wicket got better of him. The southpaw ended up slicing the ball in the air before Aiden Markram took a superb catch running behind from mid-off.

IND 12/0 (2)

1.1 - Aiden Markram comes in to bowl and Abhishek Sharma gets down the track to execute a superb inside out shot for a four. That went crunching through the extra cover to the fence.
