India vs South Africa, 1st ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Corbin Bosch to Kuldeep Yadav, leg byes, 2 runs, low full-toss outside the leg-stump, Kuldeep Yadav looks to flick and misses, the impact is on the back boot, but miles outside the leg-stump, such a waste of a review from South Africa then it rolls wide of fine-leg, Burger the fielder, Kuldeep makes it back for the 2nd as he dives to get in, the throw is loopy and takes time to reach de Kock, all smiles as Kuldeep reaches the crease, they check for a run-out too as the players walk back inside. The umpires are having a chat, so two legbyes, replays show that Kuldeep was actually trying to reverse-lap that using the back of the bat

Corbin Bosch to Arshdeep Singh, out Bowled!! Nails the yorker on off, Arshdeep Singh makes room to dig it out, misses. The off-stump is uprooted. He is now on a hat-trick. Exceptional death bowling that is. Arshdeep Singh b Corbin Bosch 0(1)

Corbin Bosch to Jadeja, out Caught by Markram!! A low full-toss on the stumps, Jadeja leans back and doesn't get any power on the loft, holes out to long-on. Good bowling from Corbin Bosch who has his first. Jadeja c Markram b Corbin Bosch 32(20) [4s-2 6s-1]

Marco Jansen to Rahul, out Caught by de Kock!! Tries to repeat the dose but helps it to de Kock who takes a sharp catch near his face. It's a length delivery and following Rahul who is backing away outside the leg-stump, he can only find the keeper as he can't it get more fine than he wanted to. Rahul c de Kock b Marco Jansen 60(56) [4s-2 6s-3]

Marco Jansen to Rahul, SIX, what a shot. Full outside the leg-stump, following Rahul who pulls out the reverse-scoop, just flicked it like how a Hockey player would, gets the elevation though and it goes all the way over third man, short third man was in anyway, sensational shot

Marco Jansen to Jadeja, FOUR, slower-ball on a good length outside off, Jadeja gets forward and drives, first beats extra-cover's dive to his right, then a long sprint from Breetzke from sweeper cover, he pulls it back but the ball rolls back to touch the cushions even as Breetzke lay on the cushions and was desperately trying to avoid the ball which was coming towards him, all that effort wasted

Corbin Bosch to Rahul, 2 runs, 50 for Rahul. A low full-toss on middle and leg, Rahul flicks wide of Brevis at deep mid-wicket, he dives and ensures his feet are not touching the cushions as he pushes it back, did so well there

Marco Jansen to Jadeja, FOUR, poor delivery and four. A short of length delivery down leg, sliding down, short fine is inside, Jadeja helps the pull wide of the man, so easy for Jadeja

Corbin Bosch to Jadeja, SIX, slower-ball and short down leg, Jadeja goes on the back foot and pulls, to the short boundary and he clears the deep backward square-leg fence, into the gap as well

Nandre Burger to Kohli, out Caught by Rickelton!! Very good catch running back by Rickelton from cover. Kohli waves his bat to all corners of the ground as he walks off. Is that the last time we see him play an international on this ground? The crowd give him a standing ovation and a richly deserved one too. He is defeated by the lack of pace as he steps out and looks to loft the length delivery, right off the bottom of the bat and Rickelton kept his eyes as he ran back some 10-15 yards and then took it with two hands as the ball came over his shoulder. Then tumbles to ground. End of a fantastic knock. Kohli c Rickelton b Nandre Burger 135(120) [4s-11 6s-7]

Ottneil Baartman to Rahul, FOUR, finally he gets one away to the fence. A short of length delivery just outside off, Rahul goes on the back foot and pulls, Brevis from deep mid-wicket goes to his right, slides but fails to pull it back, it just bounced over the hand, Brevis would be disappointed

Washington Sundar c Corbin Bosch b Ottneil Baartman 13(19) [6s-1]

Ottneil Baartman to Gaikwad, out Caught by Brevis!! That's an absolute screamer! Big collective gasp from the crowd as Brevis flies across to his right and pulls off the one-handed catch. Good length ball in the channel, driven firmly on the up, goes quickly to the right of backward point where Brevis is standing a few yards inside the circle. He was closer than usual and the ball was travelling. Outstanding reflexes. Gaikwad c Brevis b Ottneil Baartman 8(14)
