- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 taken by Rabada? He certainly thinks so. For a fast bowler, that's a terrific effort. There is some extra bounce in this surface, so the ball pops up and hits Rohit's splice, the ball is hit back to Rabada because Rohit chose a full face, as opposed to a flick or a slightly open-faced drive. Rabada keeps his eyes on it, gets low and takes a clean catch inches away from the ground. Got his fingers underneath the ball. He judged the pace of the ball off the bat so well, and many fast bowlers struggle to do that. But Rabada is a terrific athlete. Makes a tough catch look incredibly easy 20/135.3 hit straight to de Villiers at mid-off. The break works for SA. A full delivery outside off, Dhawan looks to hit the ball over mid-off, but doesn't get anywhere near enough bat on it. All he can do it hit it low to de Villiers, who watches the ball into his hands, a good two-handed catch! It's the momentum that was lost, now Dhawan loses his wicket 206/331.1 caught at cover! The flay often works for Kohli, even when he tries to hit on the up, especially when he has so much room. But Morris, the fresh bowler, has a little more gas to hit the deck and get the extra bounce to knock over the India captain. 178/236.3 SA bouncing back very quickly after the break. It's another wicket, as Rahane holes out to deep square leg. Ngidi digs this one in again, around middle and leg. Rahane feels obliged to keep the run-rate high, but has to play a low-percentage, high-risk shot: the pull when the ball is climbing quite a bit and he isn't quite set. He can't time it, and the ball picks out the fielder. 210/443.2 taken at long-on! Wasn't picking his deliveries to attack, but they may have decided that Iyer will try to attack every delivery, with Pandya still to come. So a length delivery, which is hard to hit over long-on, is mis-timed to the fielder. Not enough bat, not good timing and it all results in a simple catch off a wildly-exuberant heave 247/546.6 what a catch from Aiden Markram. Wowow. Stunner from the captain. And it's a big moment too, because it's Pandya. A full delivery outside off, Pandya is hurried for pace so he can't get a lot of power behind that, the ball lobs off the outside half towards cover. But it isn't over Markram, who times his jump to absolute perfection. At the highest point in his leap, he grasps the ball and holds on, with both feet well off the ground. A lot of things needed to go well for that catch to be taken and it was. STUNNER! Gasps from the crowd as the replays are shown. That good. 262/649.3 a low full toss around off, skewed away to long-on. Duminy is quick on it, returns the throw to the bowler who takes the bails off to complete the run-out. Well executed from SA.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 given by the umpire. Has a chat with Amla does Markram. And Amla calls for the review for his partner. What happened there? Looked like he misread the length again, looking to pull, but the ball is much fuller than he anticipated. In the end, all he can do is attempt a hopeless swat across the line. Hits Markram on the back leg, plumb in front of off. Three reds on HawkEye, SA lose their review. 43/114.1 sensational catch! At long-off, barely an inch away from the boundary line! Bhuvi, take a bow! For the longest time, Amla seems to have timed this outrageously well. It almost seems like he might only have been looking to chip it. But the ball carries all the way to long-off, where Bhuvneshwar tracks back, takes the catch over his head, worries he might overbalance so he tosses the ball back up, steadies himself and re-takes the catch. Splendid composure. 77/312.2 hits him on the half-volley as he charges out of his crease and it's given lbw! Duminy is not happy, but South Africa don't have any more reviews to use. Big, big call from the umpire Jele considering the batsman had covered a good distance of the pitch before he is deceived by Kuldeep's drift and dip, making him play all across the line. HawkEye says umpire's call on impact, considering it was made 3m down the pitch 67/216.5 taken at long leg! Pandya sets off on a sprint! He's broken the match wide open! It's not the prettiest dismissal - a length ball down leg, slugged away, looking for six again. But he only picks out Rohit Sharma to perfection. Is that the end of South Africa's chase? 102/423.4 and given! Slow through the air around middle and leg, pitches in line, the ball spins back just a touch to beat Miller on the inside edge and hit Miller in front of leg. Absolutely plumb. His pad got right across, and he couldn't quite get the front pad out of the way as he tried to defend. 174/5Extras11 (lb 3, nb 2, w 6)TOTAL207/5 (25.3 Overs, RR: 8.11)Fall of wickets: 1-43 (Aiden Markram, 7.2 ov), 2-67 (Jean-Paul Duminy, 12.2 ov), 3-77 (Hashim Amla, 14.1 ov), 4-102 (AB de Villiers, 16.5 ov), 5-174 (David Miller, 23.4 ov)
