Back of a length, into the bodyline, Axar Patel hops and tucks it behind to deep fine for a single to get off the mark.

OUT! CAUGHT! The Proteas are pulling things back beautifully and Gerald Coetzee is pumped to bits! Hits the deck hard, on a short of a length, outside off, Hardik Pandya stays rooted to the crease and cuts it hard but straight down the throat of Marco Jansen at deep point. South Africa get three big wickets in three consecutive overs!

Nqabayomzi Peter 35/1(3)

.
Slows it up and keeps it on a nagging length, just outside off, Rinku Singh looks for a big slog but misses. The ball sneaks past the off-stump not by more than a whisker!

.
Short and outside off, sliding through quicker, Rinku Singh waits back and steers it straight to short third.
Strategic Break! Sanju Samson has finally fallen after a special knock of 107 off 50, and now India have two new batters who will need to go big in the last few overs to reach that 220 mark. South Africa have struck at the right time and will look to build on this and restrict the visitors to a total that they can put up a good fight to chase. Also, Rinku Singh walks out to bat now.
OUT! CAUGHT! A fantastic catch from Tristan Stubbs and it certainly needed something special to get rid of Sanju Samson! Nqabayomzi Peter digs it in short and on middle, Sanju Samson winds up for a big pull and does so against the wind. Gets a good connection over deep mid-wicket but the wind just slows the ball a bit giving enough for Tristan Stubbs to time his leap to his left and take a fabulous catch just inches within the rope to see the back of Samson. A timely wicket for Proteas!
