Meanwhile in Indian wrestling, the former federation chief is under trial for assault, stalking and sexual harassment. On election day, when change was promised, he is back by proxy. This is the Empire striking back as Olympic medalist Sakshi Malik quits the sport.

4.46pm An excellent recovery from India after a sluggish middle phase. It looked like they'll huff and puff to 250, but Sanju Samson's 116-run third-wicket stand with Tilak Varma led the recovery. Sanju went on to bring up his maiden ODI century, and every other batter who came in from there on continued to sustain that momentum. Rinku Singh with an excellent cameo towards the end to give the innings a late lift as well. India's last 10 overs produced 93 runs. South Africa have quite a chase on their hands if they are to win the series. Hope to see you in 25 minutes.

Sanju Samson: "Feels interesting, just going through with it. Feels an emotional one. There's been a lot of work I've been putting in physically and mentally over the past year. They bowled well with the new ball, as the ball got older it was getting difficult to bat. But we got momentum through my partnership with Tilak. Maharaj bowled really well.

BE Hendricks to Washington Sundar, OUT, very good catch in the deep! Washington nails this full toss off the middle, Markram takes the catch but quickly pops the ball back up because the momentum is likely to take him over. But he regathers himself to complete the catch.
