    4.4 the full ball has done the trick for Burger who lets out a roar! He's managed to slip this past Patidar's flick. This was on middle and off, Patidar has the confidence to pick the gap through midwicket. But misses it altogether as the stumps are disturbed. Could he have been better off playing it straighter? Perhaps. Commentator's curse? End to a promising innings. 34/1
    7.3 makes the cardinal sin of hanging back expecting the short ball but this length ball skids through to rap him on the pad. The ball sneaked through the gap between pad and bat. May have kept a tad low. Given on the field, and I see no reason how that is overturned. Ball tracking comes back to show the original decision of out can stay because the ball would've clipped top of leg. Umpire's call stays. 49/2
    45.3 that's the end of that! Sanju knew the moment he made contact that he'd mistimed it. Looking to belt that down the ground but ends up slicing it off the toe-end to cover at the edge of the ring. South Africans stand up to applaud a terrific knock. 246/5
    18.5 Rahul unlucky! And taken by the keeper after the ball popped up. This was a length ball that Rahul tried to swipe across the line at. Hit the thigh pad, then hit the back of the bat in his post-shot followthrough, before making its way towards Klaasen 101/3
    41.2 picks out deep square leg! End of a magnificent partnership that was reaching dangerous proportions for South Africa. Selfless from Tilak, was looking to accelerate. Fetched this slog sweep from outside off, struck it well but picked out the lone man there. Played. Struggled early on but made up for it later on. 217/4
    49.3 the party ends for Rinku as he picks out the deep midwicket fence! He gets into position to heave this low full toss over the ropes but ends up getting more elevation than distance. End of an excellent innins nonetheless. 293/8
    46.3 picks out deep midwicket! The slower ball has done the trick. Axar is looking to whip it over the longest boundary but there's no timing or power. Got to wonder if it was needed at this stage, especially with Sanju dismissed in the previous over. 255/6
    48.5 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. 277/7

    8.2 the away movement has done the trick! Arshdeep shortens his length, gets the ball to deviate away, Hendricks plays away from the body, it's a lazy push and he ends up nicking to Rahul. Arshdeep belts out a huge roar, it's a much-needed breakthrough for India. 59/1
    29.4 yorker. Hits him on his toes. LBW appeal - but turned down! India review. de Zorzi tried to flick across the line but missed. Can hear Arshdeep saying "out dena banta hai yaar (it deserves to be out)". Now let's see what ball-tracking says. That's crashing. Massive wicket. de Zorzi out for 81. 161/4
    14.4 you saw that coming, didn't you? Indecision from Rassie. He was struck trying to reverse-paddle deliveries. This one drifts in a long way and skids through, Rassie is late on the shot as the ball goes on with the arm and clatters into the stumps as he played down the wrong line. 76/2
    25.5 massive wicket for India that! Markram plays an ill-advised reverse paddle - no need to do that - and he ends up getting a glove on it as the ball lobs to Rahul who takes a dolly. Markram didn't even wait for the umpire to give it out. This was turning out to be a dangerous partnership. 141/3
    32.2 chipped to mid off running in! Sai Sudharsan with a terrific catch on this dipping ball. This was a full ball just outside off but with some extra bounce that surprised Klaasen. Met the ball with hard hands, and the ball popped up off the bat. Sudharsan ran forward and then dived forward before getting his fingertips under the dipping ball. Super acrobatic. 174/5
    37.6 that is a massive wicket. Is that the series for India? Miller is drawn forward by Mukesh's length but he gets the ball to jag away off the deck and the healthy edge is taken superbly by Rahul diving to his left. 192/7
    33.2 length ball just outside off. Batter pokes at it, Rahul collects and appeals for caught behind. Both Washington and Rahul seem confident but the umpire turns it down. India, though, review and there is a tiny murmur on UltraEdge! Enough to declare it out. 177/6
    42.6 picks out Rinku at deep square! Arshdeep's change of pace works. Bowls one into the pitch, takes pace off and Maharaj ends up dragging it from outside off to the man in the deep. 210/8
    45.5 that's the end of that. It's a series win for this young Indian team. Avesh bowls a slower length ball outside off. Hendricks is looking to walk across to scoop but has no pace to work with, ends up lobbing one in the air off the thick edge and Sanju takes an easy catch at short third. 218/10
    44.1 the late tail has got him! Williams reviews the lbw shout but it's pointless. Hawkeye confirms the ball would've hit leg. Three reds so the onfield decision will stay. Fourth wicket for Arshdeep. 216/9
