Alur update: India B have scored 276 for 6, with Manish Pandey hitting 117 not out off 109. Michael Neser took 3 for 47 in nine overs. Live Scores.

INDIAN: "I believe if a team can do miracle that's INDIA A 150 Can be defended on this pitch"

Kapil: "Disappointed with Samson really. Himself and Chahar were going well and once Chahar was out, Samson had to take this deep and get to 200 at least. 157 isn't going to be a problem unless India get 3-4 wickets in the first 10"

12.35pm South Africa A need to chase this down in 41.5 overs or less to get their net run-rate above India A. Of course they still need to win by a bonus point, and for Australia A to lose - that will put them in the final.

12.15pm Fine bowling performance by South Africa A, led by Paterson, who was impossible to get away and struck throughout the innings, before wrapping it up. Sanju Samson looked in the best touch for India A, but a tactical error perhaps, to send him down at No.7. Deepak Chahar showed good temperament in hanging in and giving Samson support, and their stand has ensured the bowlers have at least something to bowl at, meagre though the total is.

India A will have to bowl exceedingly well to defend this. They have rested Mohammad Siraj for this match, that could prove to be another mistake given how well South Africa's seamers did.

It's lunch at the Chinnaswamy for now, and play will resume at 12.48 PM.

Magala to Markande, 1 run, DROPPED! Markande flashed and it flew to second slip, where Erwee got a hand to it, but it popped out. It was travelling quickly, but you expect those to be taken in the slips when it's travelling straight

Paterson to Shivam Mavi, OUT, brilliant catch by the bowler. Mavi tried to go big again, but only got a top edge that was looping back towards Paterson, who moved to his left on his follow-through and dived to pluck the ball from the ground.

Magala to Markande, no run, extra bounce again. Lands on a length and takes off, forcing Markande to uncomfortably defend to the off side. Was in the air for a while, but there was nobody present at short cover
