12.20 pm So rampant have been Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav that they've bowled South Africa out with so much time left in the day that India will be batting before lunch. The control they have as wristspinners brings them into play on the flattest of pitches. But Centurion has provided them a slow turner and they've taken full advantage. Eight wickets for 42 runs in 14 overs.

"Great feeling. My first five-for in ODIs. And obviously when you perform well for your country, it's a good feeling" says Chahal. "The wicket, when I bowled my first ball, there was grip on the wicket. So the idea was to vary pace, bowl faster, and other times bowl fuller and make him come forward. This was a really good wicket [for me[. The captain always backs me up, even Mahi bhai. I've played some matches as well, I'm confident"

Sunny Aryan: "Forewarned is not forearmed ! Proteas knew what will hit them, but seemed helpless in avoiding it!"

Chahal to Morris, OUT, that's South Africa's lowest ODI total at home and Chahal is the wrecker in chief with his maiden ODI five-for. The turn he gets on the leg break makes Morris skew his lofted shot to deep cover

Chahal to Morris, no run, goes for the slog sweep, but the legbreak drifts too far into his pads and doesn't allow him any hitting room

WATCH - Is this one of the plumbest lbws ever? (Available in the Indian subcontinent).

Bumrah to Shamsi, no run, full on off stump, defends

South Africa's lowest totals in ODIs, after being bowled out. They could end up with the lowest on home soil today

Bumrah to Imran Tahir, OUT, knocks the off stump over. Tahir's plans of staying away from the ball at high pace would always have led to this. It was simply a matter of time for Bumrah to get his radar right.

Bumrah to Morris, 1 run, falls short of the sweeper! Dhawan is the man running in off the boundary, diving forward, trying desperately to get under the ball. But it bounces short and hits him on the chin. #Ouch. Superb timing on the upper cut though

Jasprit Bumrah now.

Chahal to Morkel, OUT, might be the textbook definition of a plumb lbw, but the way Morkel is walking off it looks like he's had a hundred stolen from him. A wrong 'un, pitching on middle, the tailender doesn't pick it and plays against the turn. It straightens off the pitch, sneaks under the bat, and mercilessly traps him

Kuldeep Yadav to Morris, SIX, launches it to the straight boundary - big stride forward, long arms hitting through the line. He's a very good hitter. Keeps his shape ever so well

Kuldeep Yadav to Morkel, 1 run, dropped, and then there is a run-out chance too, Morne is sprawled on the floor. Will he survive? He's safe. Good slide. But what a shot to start. Takes on the wristspinner with a big heave, mistimes it to mid-on, and Jadhav, having to dive forward, isn't able to cling on
29.3
W
Kuldeep Yadav to Rabada, OUT, doesn't pick the wrong 'un and with him camped so deep in his crease, the decision is straight forward. Kuldeep does splendidly to land a good length ball outside off - it comes out all slow and unthreatening, but the moment it grips into the pitch, it tears into the left-hander.

Kuldeep Yadav to Rabada, no run, closes the face and the little bit of turn that India's wristspinners are consistently drawing gets a leading edge
