7.34pm Here comes the confirmation: South Africa need 152 to win. With the match reduced to 15 overs, the powerplay will be of five overs only. Remember, we are barely five minutes away from the chase.

Sai: "Coetzee got robbed. He could've had his hat-trick!"

Sibi Joseph: "Those two wickets at the end will have a say in the revised target, might well do SA a favour here"

7.24pm Live pictures show Arshdeep, Siraj and Tilak having a throw near the boundary line, enough indication that India's innings will not be resuming, and rightly so. Play to resume at 7.40pm local - that is 11.10pm IST - with the match reduced to 15 overs. But we are still waiting to hear about South Africa's target.

Chris: "Not much time lost? I expect India to come back to bat!" --- With rain lurking, you'd think India are done

7.17pm There's some news: covers are coming off. The rain has stopped, as even the main cover on the pitch is removed. Naturally, there were loud cheers the moment the covers were moved. The resumption shouldn't be too far away.

Amit: "Hi Himanshu! How do they pronounce the name of the place where this match is being played?" --- I'll direct you here for the tutorial

It's your debut Asian Games. Your dreams are about to go up in smoke due to the rules not being applied correctly. How do you react? If you're Jyothi Yarraji, you stand your ground, fight for your spot in that final, and then produce a silver medal-winning run, which makes it one of ESPN India's Moments of the Year.

"My question is, if the rain starts in the last over, do the teams come out to play the rest of the balls or just end the innings?" --- Common sense would have the innings ended right here, Asif

7pm Hello, everyone, and thanks Ashish. Not a great way to greet you, but it's raining in Gqeberha, and like we did for so long in the first T20I, we only wait for further updates.

6.43pm Here's Mohammed Siraj. Coetzee on a hat-trick. Hang on, looks like none of that's going to happen with the steady drizzle threatening enough for the players to go off. The covers are on. And this might as well signal the end of India's innings. India lost both their openers for a duck, but Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav made they kept the momentum adding 49 off 24 balls for the third wicket. Suryakumar and Rinku then added 70 off 48 with both batters getting to their individual fifties. The South Africa bowlers were all over the place with their lengths and the batters cashed in. Himanshu will be with you, once the match restarts.

Arshdeep comes in

BeardGuy: "If Pant returns to form in the IPL, does he fit into this XI instead of Jitesh Sharma?" I'd say, yes

Coetzee back. Four overs to go.

Sam: "Don't remember SA seamers bowling so poorly. Lines are terrible."
