IND
All
49.5

Corbin Bosch to Rahul, SIX, whoa! Rahul has just slog swept Corbin Bosch. He goes round the wicket and angles it across, but the length is in the slot and that allows Rahul to kneel down, smokes the slog sweep over deep square leg. 85-meter six..
49.4

Corbin Bosch to Rahul, FOUR, smashed! Bosch misses the yorker, feeds it in the slot and with mid-off inside the ring, it was a free swing for Rahul. He gets under the ball and pumps it flat over the field, one bounce and over the ropes
49.2
4
Corbin Bosch to Jadeja, FOUR, 133.8kph, full and in the slot, Jadeja clears his front leg and thumps it over mid-off
47.2
F
Marco Jansen to Rahul, FOUR, fifty for Rahul. He is in sublime form in this format and at this stage of the innings. Another important knock lower down the order. Short and angled across, width on offer and Rahul slashes it over backward point. No chance for Breetzke to get across and make the stop
45.4
Marco Jansen to Rahul, 1 run, dropped! This is a regulation catch and Breetzke has put it down. Massive moment in the game. This is the last recognised pair for India and the bowlers to follow. How costly will that be for South Africa? Short of length outside off, Rahul opens the bat face and slices it over point. Breetzke gets around and goes with both hands, the ball hits him on the wrists and pops out
44.5

Markram to Rahul, FOUR, that's more like it. Rahul moves around in the crease and makes Markram follow him, he stays put and sits down to play the sweep, places it backward of square and picks up the boundary
44
4
Corbin Bosch to Jadeja, FOUR, shot! The extra ball costs Bosch a boundary. Length delivery, Jadeja makes a bit of room to open his arms and lofts through the line. Mid-off was inside the ring and the plan was to clear him
43.4
4
Corbin Bosch to Rahul, FOUR, welcome boundary for India. It has been a while. Full toss on the pads, Rahul didn't try and overhit, just clipped it in front of square and split the two fielders in the deep expertly
41
W
Markram to Washington Sundar, out Washington Sundar Run Out!! Where was Washington going? It was not his call but he set off, pays the price. Tossed up around off, he toe-ends the reverse sweep straight to short third and Rahul was never interested, Washington took off but had to turn back and dive, still not enough to save him. Umpire Rod Tucker didn't even send it upstairs and gave the decision onfield. Bosch made a sliding stop and fired in a throw to de Kock. Washington Sundar run out (Corbin Bosch/de Kock) 1(8)

Ngidi to Kohli, out Caught by Markram!! Kohli goes for the big shot and perishes. 132.3kph, on a length and marginally wide of off, Kohli looks to hoist it downtown but doesn't generate sufficient power behind it and it's a straightforward catch for Markram at long-on. Replay shows that the ball hit the bottom part of the bat. Kohli waves his bat as he walks off to a standing ovation from the Raipur crowd. Kohli c Markram b Ngidi 102(93) [4s-7 6s-2]
38.3

Markram to Rahul, FOUR, full on off-middle, Rahul moves across and gets low to scoop it fine of the man at 45. The ball runs away to the fine leg fence
38
H
Marco Jansen to Kohli, 1 run, back-to-back centuries for Virat Kohli - 53rd in ODIs! Superb hundred in the previous match and he just continued from where he left in Ranchi. Got off the mark with a superb pull shot that went the distance and batted with a lot of control. Just Kohli things! Knocks a fullish ball down to long-on for a single. Jumps and punches the air in delight as he completes the run. The arms go aloft and then the helmet comes off. Looks heavenwards and he receives a hug from Rahul. Loud chants of Kohli, Kohli and he raises his bat to soak in the applause
37.3
6
Marco Jansen to Rahul, SIX, wow! Full outside off and Rahul has hoisted it over mid-off. Gets forward, bends his back leg and smokes it through the line
36.3
4
Maharaj to Rahul, FOUR, a drag down from Maharaj, Rahul is quick to go back and hammers the pull between mid-on and midwicket. He probably wanted to hit it aerially but nevertheless he finds the gap
35.4
W
Marco Jansen to Gaikwad, out Caught by de Zorzi!! Gaikwad holes out! The 195-run stand has been broken. He is distraught before taking the long walk back and he receives a standing ovation. 117.9kph, shortish ball, hip-high and Gaikwad goes for the aerial pull shot. Doesn't get the necessary elevation on it and picks out de Zorzi at deep backward square leg. End of a fabulous knock from Gaikwad. Gaikwad c de Zorzi b Marco Jansen 105(83) [4s-12 6s-2]
34.1
Maharaj to Kohli, 1 run, length ball on off, Kohli rocks back to punch it to sweeper cover
33.4
H
Corbin Bosch to Gaikwad, FOUR, maiden ODI hundred for Ruturaj Gaikwad! He was troubled early on in his innings by Jansen but once he survived that, he's hardly put a foot wrong. Took 52 balls to get to his fifty but shifted gears after that to reach the landmark in 77 balls. It's been a classy knock. He gets a bear hug from Kohli. Removes the helmet and raises his bat to acknowledge the crowd. It was a shortish ball from Bosch and Gaikwad pulled it wide of mid-on. The ball had the legs to reach the fence
33.3

Corbin Bosch to Gaikwad, FOUR, short of length, Gaikwad clears his front leg to pull it wide of mid-on
33.1
4
Corbin Bosch to Kohli, FOUR, 138.3kph, for the second time today, Kohli almost knocked out Gaikwad. Kohli dances down the track and brings his bottom hand into play to whip it just wide of the non-striker. Gaikwad gets low and the ball just eludes him to bullet away to the fence
32.1
6
Marco Jansen to Kohli, SIX, 115.6kph, pace off and into the wicket, Kohli shimmies down the track and audaciously pulls it over long-on by bringing his wrists into play. With mid-on inside the circle that was a safe shot and he absolutely middled it
32
4
Corbin Bosch to Gaikwad, FOUR, shot! 135.9kph, short of length outside off, Gaikwad shuffles a bit and middles the pull shot. Quick hands from the right-hander and the ball bullets away to the left of the deep square leg fielder. De Zorzi didn't have too much distance to cover and he puts in a dive as well. Gets a hand on it but fails to stop the boundary, courtesy the power generated by Rutu
30.5
Marco Jansen to Kohli, 1 run, 134kph, hip-high, Kohli pivots to pull it to fine leg. The partnership is now worth 150 runs
30.2
4
Marco Jansen to Kohli, FOUR, banged in short from round the wicket, Kohli swivels across with his front leg off the ground and rolls his wrists to pull it square of the short fine leg fielder. Total control of the shot
30
4
Corbin Bosch to Gaikwad, FOUR, back to back fours to end the over. On a length and outside off, not quite there for the drive but the surface is so true that it allows Gaikwad to drive this on the up, he caresses it in front of square and beats the sweeper in the deep
29.5
4
Corbin Bosch to Gaikwad, FOUR, shot! That's not a bad delivery. Fullish delivery around off, most batters would have driven it into the off-side, but Gaikwad brings his bottom hand into play, whips it wide of mid-on and beats the diving fielder. That was all about the wristwork..
27.5
4
Maharaj to Gaikwad, FOUR, fraction short and Gaikwad is quick to pounce, no one at long-on or deep mid-wicket, he rocks back and pulls wide of mid-on. Not quite off the middle but enough to clear the inner circle
27.3
6
Maharaj to Gaikwad, SIX, he's toying with Maharaj now. Played a couple of sweeps and forced South Africa into placing a fielder at deep backward square, they had to bring mid-on in because of that. So, now Gaikwad comes down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts handsomely over long-on
27.1
4
Maharaj to Gaikwad, FOUR, shot! 81.7ks flighted delivery, Gaikwad sits down and fetches the sweep from outside off, rolls his wrists over and places it backward of square. No one there in the deep to stop the boundary
27
4
Ngidi to Kohli, FOUR, uhhh! Unlucky for Ngidi and he's on his haunches. On a length and outside off, Kohli reaches and attempts to steer it to third man, gets a thick inside edge and the ball wasn't far from the off-stump
25.4
4
Maharaj to Gaikwad, FOUR, fabulous shot! Gaikwad getting into his elements. Tossed up delivery, nothing much wrong with that, but Gaikwad makes room and takes a few steps out, gets under the ball and lofts it beautifully inside out over extra cover, couple of bounces and over the rope
25.1
4
Maharaj to Kohli, FOUR, neatly done! Sliding down leg, Kohli leans forward and plays the finest of glances. The pace on the ball beats a chasing Burger
24.3
F
Ngidi to Kohli, 1 run, fifty for Kohli. He's carrying on from Ranchi. Rarely put a foot wrong and has been in complete control. Chants of "Kohli, Kohli" doing the rounds in Raipur. Fullish delivery outside off, Kohli drives to sweeper cover and brings up another ODI fifty
23.5
F
Markram to Gaikwad, 1 run, fifty for Gaikwad. This is a big opportunity for him and he's making use of it. He raises his bat and is congratulated by Kohli. Can he convert this into a big score? Tossed up close to off, Gaikwad works it to long-on
23.4
4
Markram to Gaikwad, FOUR, shot! Dragged short and Gaikwad is quick to pounce, he makes a bit of room and cracks it in front of square. There's no sweeper for him and he was itching to play that shot
21.5
4
Markram to Kohli, FOUR, shot! Markram for the first time in the over bowls one outside off, plenty of width for Kohli to capitalize, he slaps the drive in front of square and gives the sweeper no chance in the deep
19.4
4
Corbin Bosch to Kohli, FOUR, smashed! Almost took out Gaikwad at the other end. Kohli walks down and across, converts it into a full pitcher and drills it straight back, very little followthrough of the bat and Gaikwad had to duck to evade being hit. The pair have a laugh after that..
15.3
Corbin Bosch to Gaikwad, 2 runs, neatly done! 133.4ks short of length delivery, Gaikwad rises on his toes to get on top of the bounce and steers it with an open bat face behind square, easy couple
13.4
6
Marco Jansen to Gaikwad, SIX, bouncer, top-edge and six! Jansen watches it in disbelief. Head-high bumper, Gaikwad hurriedly pulls and there's a man in the shot for the top-edge at fine leg. But the ball has the wings to go well over the fielder in the deep
12.3
4
Maharaj to Gaikwad, FOUR, Maharaj has his hands on head! 80.6kph, Gaikwad gets inside the line to play the vertical-batted sweep shot. Gets it too fine and beats the keeper to his left. The ball was drifting down leg but it also spun, he could have dragged it onto his stumps
10.5
4
Maharaj to Gaikwad, FOUR, poor ball and punished. Flighted ball, full and drifting down leg, Gaikwad plays the vertical-batted sweep shot to place it fine of the man at 45
9.5
4
Marco Jansen to Gaikwad, FOUR, wow! 135.8kph, superb bouncer from Jansen, head-high from over the wicket. Gaikwad doesn't see that coming. He gets into a tangle, takes his eyes off the ball and his hands are in front of his face. The ball hits the glove and flies over and wide of the keeper. What a ball to welcome to the new batter. Gaikwad gets off the mark with a streaky boundary
9.4
W
Marco Jansen to Jaiswal, out Caught by Corbin Bosch!! Jaiswal falls to a left-arm speedster once again! 134.4kph, banged in short by Jansen and it's almost shoulder high. Jaiswal looks to go after it with a pull shot and is late into his shot. Didn't get into a good position either as the line is outside off. The ball lobs up in the air towards square leg and Bosch moves to his left to gather it. Jaiswal c Corbin Bosch b Marco Jansen 22(38) [4s-2 6s-1]
7.2
4
Marco Jansen to Kohli, FOUR, 129.6kph, you can't bowl there to this man. Fullish ball on the pads and it's easy pickings for Kohli who uses those wrists to flick it through midwicket
6.5
6
Nandre Burger to Jaiswal, SIX, 133.7kph, banged in short by Burger and Jaiswal goes after it. Chest-high and Jaiswal swivels to pummel it over deep square leg with a ferocious pull shot
6
6
Ngidi to Kohli, SIX, Kohli gets off the mark with a maximum and there's the big roar from the crowd. Short ball at 131.5kph from Ngidi, Kohli spots the length early and swivels to pull it up and over backward square leg with his front leg off the ground
4.5
W
Nandre Burger to Rohit, out Caught by de Kock!! 138.5kph, de Kock catches and throws the ball up in the air, Burger looks back towards the umpire. The keeper is convinced and Bavuma has sent it upstairs. Angling away from a length, Rohit defends from the crease and it's mighty close to the edge. Did it brush the outside edge? Yes, there's a spike on UltraEdge when the ball is near the bat. Successful review and credit to de Kock who persuaded the captain to send it upstairs even though there was hardly any appeal from the bowler. Just a hint of nibble away off the deck, Rohit poked and nicked off. South Africa get the breakthrough. Rohit c de Kock b Nandre Burger 14(8) [4s-3]
4.3
4
Nandre Burger to Rohit, FOUR, hat-trick of fours for Rohit! 141.1kph, fuller than a length outside off, Rohit - with no feet movement - pushes at it. Thick outside edge and it beats backward point to his left
4.2
4
Nandre Burger to Rohit, FOUR, 141.9kph, full and on the stumps, Rohit elegantly flicks it through midwicket and the ball dribbles away to the fence
4.1
4
Nandre Burger to Rohit, FOUR, 144.2kph, over the wicket, angling away from a good length, Rohit defends and not with hard hands. The outside edge goes between first slip and short third man. First boundary for Rohit

4
Nandre Burger to Jaiswal, FOUR, 138.3kph, full outside off, Jaiswal presses forward to play a booming cover drive. Thick inside edge and the ball rolls to fine leg. Ngidi runs to his left and bends low to get to the ball but loses his balance and ends up deflecting the ball onto the boundary rope. 14 runs off the opening over
0.1
4
Nandre Burger to Jaiswal, FOUR, 138.3kph, in the air, in the gap and it's a boundary. Pitched up outside off, Jaiswal leans across and drives with hard hands. Off the outer half of the bat and it goes through point before racing away to the fence
