    3.2 GOT 'IM! Good length, just outside off, and makes Amla defend from the crease. The extra bounce takes the outside edge, and Rohit Sharma pouches this at second slip, moving slightly across to his right. Just reward for what has been a terrific opening burst by Bumrah 11/1
    5.5 Bumrah has TWO! He's bowled better balls than this one, to be honest. Throws it a bit wide, but still fuller than most, and de Kock has a swish at it, and the outside edge carries it through to Kohli at third slip. That's one major blow for South African hopes 24/2
    19.6 not this time! Faf gropes forward, but he's not read it and the ball sneaks straight through the gap between bat and pad. Chahal has his second in the over, and the South African captain falls! 80/4
    19.1 GOT HIM! That is not pretty. Not pretty at all. Legspinners can do this to batsmen: make them look foolish. And that's what happens when Rassie telegraphs his intentions to reverse sweep, getting into position very early. But the drift takes the ball towards leg stump, and the rip sends it clattering into the timber. He's already planted his front foot, and can't reach around at the ball. Bowled around his legs! 78/3
    35.3 takes a dolly! Chahal continues to impress with every over. Was there ever a doubt over his place in the XI? He's quelling them now. Nicely tossed up, this drifted away and spin back in, Miller doesn't quite get to the pitch but looks to work it back, gets it high on the bat and Chahal takes an easy return catch. 135/6
    22.6 the pressure tells! This one was slightly quicker through the air, skidding through to hit Duminy - playing right back - on the pads. It looks adjacent, it's given out, but Duminy reviews it. Needlessly so, it turns out, as three reds come back and he's got to go. It was a little desperate, but given the game situation, Duminy had to ask for another look. South Africa sink ever further 89/5
    39.3 it's the guile of Chahal that has him a fourth! Steps out to hoick with the spin but didn't get to the pitch, the ball breaks back in to beat the swing, the inside edge as MS Dhoni effects a stumping after a brief stumble. He was blinded by the swing initially and that may have thrown him off gear. The ball bobbled but he had so much time to regain his composure because Andile was so far down the pitch. 158/7
    49.2 wide of off stump again, and he drives this in the air, and Kohli takes the catch, running in a few yards from long off! First wicket of the day for Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was fine with the new ball and deserved a wicket for his efforts 224/8

    49.6 short, and he has a slash it at this, but it goes straight towards short cover. Taken comfortably, as Bhuvi ends with two in the final over 227/9

    5.1 if ever someone deserved a wicket, it's Kagiso! What a ball. Dhawan feels for the ball from the crease, is opened up the deviation off the pitch as he feathers an edge to de Kock. Big wicket for South Africa. Rabada is pumped, absolutely pumped. Dhawan never looked in and he's been put out of his misery. Huge wicket and an early boost for South Africa. 13/1

    15.3 this has to be the catch of the day, of the week, and maybe the tournament when we look back four weeks later! Sensational, absolutely sensational from de Kock. Kohli has a waft at this away from the body as Andile gets this to straighten a hint, there's extra bounce on this and so he gets a thick edge as he tries to run it down. The ball was on the rise but de Kock dived full length to his right to pluck this magical catch one-handed even as it kept going away from him. 54/2
    31.3 the breakthrough! Slower ball, outside off, and full, and Rahul looks for a drive but ends up popping this straight up towards mid off. Is this the opening that South Africa need? 139/3
    46.1 high, very very high. Morris calls for it and as it descends, he's so into the catch that he falls over onto the stumps at the non-striker's end even as the ball lodges in his bucket hands. Called very early and completed it. 213/4
