Prasidh to Ottneil Baartman, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Prasidh ends the innings with his fourth wicket. South Africa have been rolled over inside 50 overs. Full and hint of inward tail, Baartman does not move his feet much and plays all around it, the ball beats the inside edge and flattens the off-stump. Ottneil Baartman b Prasidh 3(7)

Prasidh to Maharaj, FOUR, poor planning and execution. Mid-off inside the ring and Prasidh lands the slower ball right in the slot, Maharaj just needed to clear the inner ring and he does that quite comfortably, couple of bounces and over the rope

Kuldeep Yadav to Ngidi, out Lbw!! Finally Kuldeep's pleas are heard and obliged. He didn't need to convince Rahul or Rohit this time, umpire Madanagopal was convinced and that's what matters. After a couple of googlies, he slips in the conventional leg-break, the ball spins in and beats the inside edge as Ngidi prods forward to defend, struck right in front of the stumps and ball-tracking shows it to be clipping the top of leg-stump. Two balls left - can Kuldeep get a 5-fer? Ngidi lbw b Kuldeep Yadav 1(10)

Prasidh to Maharaj, FOUR, shot! Nothing much wrong with the delivery - on a length and outside off, not quite there for the drive but the width allowed Maharaj to go after this - drives on the rise and hits it uppishly wide of extra cover. Rohit was there and he does not move..

Kuldeep Yadav to Corbin Bosch, out Caught&Bowled!! Soft dismissal! That's a big wicket for India. Bosch was South Africa's last hope to go past 300 and he too departs. Third wicket for Kuldeep. He hangs on and kisses the ball. The googly and it stops, jumps and catches the splice of the bat, Bosch pushes with hard hands and the ball lobs back to Kuldeep. This is the difference between day-time batting and night-time batting - dew helps the ball come onto the bat under lights whereas here the ball is stopping and not coming on. Corbin Bosch c and b Kuldeep Yadav 9(12)

Jadeja to Corbin Bosch, 1 run, short of length delivery, Bosch gets on top of the bounce and punches to long-off

Kuldeep Yadav to Marco Jansen, out Caught by Jadeja!! Two wickets in the over for Kuldeep Yadav. He punches the air in delight. "I am speechless," says Dale Steyn on air. Tossed up by Kuldeep and Jansen gets down to play the big sweep. Gets it off the cue end of the bat and ends up hitting it straight down deep midwicket's throat. Marco Jansen c Jadeja b Kuldeep Yadav 17(15) [4s-2]
38.1
W
Kuldeep Yadav to Brevis, out Caught by Rohit!! In the air and taken! This was on the cards. Well deserved wicket for Kuldeep. 83.5kph, wrong 'un wide of off, Brevis gets down on one leg to play the pre-empted slogsweep. The length was full enough on this occasion but the line was wider and he was hitting against the spin. Big top-edge and the ball goes a long way up in the air. Rohit comes in from midwicket, calls for it in the process, settles under the skier to gobble it safely. Brevis c Rohit b Kuldeep Yadav 29(29) [4s-2 6s-1]
35.2
Arshdeep Singh to Marco Jansen, 1 run, direct-hit and Jansen would have been out! Clips this short of length ball straight to midwicket and goes for a risky single. Fortunately for Jansen, Ruturaj doesn't hit the target at the bowler's end
34.5
4
Prasidh to Marco Jansen, FOUR, 138.6kph, full toss and punished! Probably tried to bowl the yorker, misses it by a long way. A backing away Jansen heaves it away to send it to the cow corner fence
34.2
4
Prasidh to Marco Jansen, FOUR, Marco Jansen gets off the mark with a boundary! 141.9kph, short of a good length, Jansen stays leg-side and drives on the rise. Beautifully placed through extra cover
33.2

Arshdeep Singh to Brevis, FOUR, 132.8kph, overpitched by Arshdeep and Brevis plays a lovely drive. Backs away a bit and drills it through extra cover
32.5
W
Prasidh to de Kock, out Bowled!! What a turnaround this has been- third wicket in this spell for Prasidh after getting punished in the first two overs. Full, pace on and attacking the stumps, de Kock doesn't cover the line and looks to whip it across the line. Gets beaten on the inside edge and his stumps are in a mess. de Kock b Prasidh 106(89) [4s-8 6s-6]
31.4
6
Arshdeep Singh to Brevis, SIX, there's Brevis' first six! 116.1kph, slow and short, hip-high and it sits up nicely for the batter. Brevis waits for it and hammers it over deep midwicket with a pull shot. Didn't bother to keep it down and that's gone a long way
30
4
Harshit Rana to Brevis, FOUR, Brevis is off and running. Short and outside off, plenty of width to capitalise and Brevis does not miss out, cracks it behind square and gets off the mark with a boundary
29.5
4
Harshit Rana to Brevis, leg byes, FOUR, ouch! That's hit him on the back of the helmet. Even in the last game Brevis was hit by Harshit. That was a slower bouncer but this was not. Well-directed short ball, Brevis takes his eyes off and turns away, the bal hits him on the back of the head and races away to fine leg
29.3
H
Harshit Rana to de Kock, SIX, hundred for de Kock. 7th against India. The whole South African team are up on their feet and applauding. Even Kohli claps from cover. He struggled against the moving new ball but once he got through that period, he has hardly put a foot wrong. This has been a top knock from the keeper-batter! Fraction short and angled in, de Kock loves it there and is quickly in position to play the pull, nails it over deep mid-wicket and the ball sails into the stands
29
W
Prasidh to Markram, out Caught by Kohli!! Prasidh goes bang, bang! Two in the over. That's such a soft dismissal. No reaction from Prasidh or Kohli, but Rahul is pumped behind the stumps. The centurion from the last game, demoted to number 5, falls cheaply. Good length delivery, not quite there for the drive but Markram looks to play it on the rise, does not keep it down and chips it to cover, simple catch for Kohli and he makes no mistake. Markram c Kohli b Prasidh 1(3)
28.2
W
Prasidh to Breetzke, out Lbw!! Top decision! Prasidh went up and umpire Madanagopal was quick to oblige, he was proved right. Poor shot from Breetzke and he pays the price. He premeditated a back of a length or short of length delivery from Prasidh, but this was fuller and he missed the cross-batted shot, struck on the back thigh and the impact was right in front of the stumps. Ball-tracking shows it to be hitting top of middle-stump. Some respite for Prasidh after being smashed in his first two overs. Breetzke lbw b Prasidh 24(23) [6s-2]
27.3
4
Harshit Rana to de Kock, FOUR, poor delivery, poor fielding and that's a boundary. Harshit sprays the slower ball down leg, would have been a wide had de Kock let go, but he reaches and paddles it towards short fine where Prasidh dives over the ball
25.2
6
Tilak Varma to Breetzke, SIX, back to back sixes. The 5th and 6th bowling options becaming a pain for India. Breetzke now uses his feet, takes a few steps down the pitch and lofts it down the ground, no problem clearing long-on
25.1
6
Tilak Varma to Breetzke, SIX, they are ensuring Tilak does not get away with some cheap overs. First ball of the over and Breetzke brings out the slog sweep, he stays leg-side and sits down to launch the slog sweep wide of long-on
24
4
Tilak Varma to de Kock, FOUR, edged and four! That was well bowled but unfortunately it costs him a boundary. Floated up outside off, draws de Kock into the drive, the ball spins away and flies off the outside edge through the vacant slip cordon
22
6
Kuldeep Yadav to de Kock, SIX, poor delivery and it deserved the treatment. Kuldeep knows and walks away frustrated. This is a drag down and de Kock is quick to pounce, rocks back and nails the pull into the deep mid-wicket stand
21.5
4
Kuldeep Yadav to de Kock, FOUR, nicely done! 85.2ks flighted delivery, close to off and de Kock kneels down and sweeps backward of square. The fielder is at short fine and deep mid-wicket - so acres of space to play the sweep
21
W
Jadeja to Bavuma, out Caught by Kohli!! Gone! Once again Bavuma falls in the 40s. He got 46 in the previous ODI and today he departs for 48. The partnership is broken and a much needed wicket for India. First wicket in the series for Jadeja. He slows it up and dangles it outside off, Bavuma's eyes lit and he goes for the drive even though the length is not quite full, slices it to backward point and Kohli reverse cups it safely. Smart bit of bowling from Jadeja. He knew Bavuma had decided to up the ante and teased him with a wider line. Bavuma c Kohli b Jadeja 48(67) [4s-5]
20.2
4
Jadeja to Bavuma, FOUR, Bavuma finding the boundaries now. 90.1ks fullish delivery, Bavuma sits down and has ample space to open his arms, slog sweeps over mid-wicket and there's a big gap in that region
19.2
Kuldeep Yadav to Bavuma, 2 runs, leg-lined delivery, Bavuma crouches low and paddles sweep backward of square, easy couple
19
Jadeja to Bavuma, 1 run, dragged short outside off, Bavuma cuts to sweeper cover and retains strike
18.5
4
Jadeja to Bavuma, FOUR, neatly done! The pressure was building and Bavuma releases it. 96.1ks darted full close to off, Bavuma sits down and reverse sweeps it fine to third man. He played that so fine, there was no chance for short third to make the stop
16.1
4
Tilak Varma to de Kock, FOUR, that's a gift first up from Tilak. Full toss around off, de Kock crouches low and swings it over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes
15.4
F
Jadeja to de Kock, SIX, fifty for de Kock. He failed in the first two games, struggled early on against Harshit but now has come into his own. Danger signs for India! This is a fullish delivery, on leg and middle, de Kock kneels down and launches the slog sweep over deep square leg. He got enough to clear the rope and it was a safe shot with no fielders back in the deep there
14.2
4
Kuldeep Yadav to de Kock, FOUR, top shot! Kuldeep goes fuller and de Kock stays leg-side of the ball, brings his bottom hand into play and whips this overpitched ball through midwicket. Reaches the fence in a jiffy
11.4
4
Jadeja to Bavuma, FOUR, shot! Full and angling in, Bavuma gets down on one leg and slogsweeps over midwicket for a one-bounce four
11
4
Prasidh to de Kock, FOUR, another boundary to end the over! 143.9kph, de Kock meets this full ball with a good forward stride and plays a gorgeous drive through extra cover. 18 runs off the over! All the pressure created by the new ball bowlers has been released
10.3
6
Prasidh to de Kock, SIX, back-to-back sixes! Shortish ball, sits up nicely for de Kock who swivels across and sends it over deep backward square leg with a thumping pull shot. Fifty up for South Africa! Prasidh put under a lot of pressure
10.2
6
Prasidh to de Kock, SIX, second six for de Kock and both against Prasidh. This is an audacious stroke from the left-hander. Fuller than a length outside off, de Kock slightly bends his back leg and smacks it over extra cover. Good swing of the willow from de Kock
9.3
4
Harshit Rana to Bavuma, FOUR, 136kph, fullish outside off and Bavuma fetches it from there to send it over backward square leg. Brings his bottom hand into play to whip it and makes decent contact for a one-bounce four
8.5
6
Prasidh to de Kock, SIX, 132.4kph, that's been hit with disdain. Back of a length outside off, de Kock gets into a good position and hammers the pull over deep midwicket. Sends it into the stands for an 82m six. South Africa have been aggressive against Prasidh in this series and they'll continue to exert on the pacer
4.2
4
Arshdeep Singh to Bavuma, FOUR, 133kph, Arshdeep goes fuller on this occasion and Bavuma takes the aerial route. Bends his back leg, reaches out and throws his arms at it to carve it over point. One bounce and into the fence
3.5
4
Harshit Rana to de Kock, FOUR, another outside edge, another four! The length isn't full enough to be driving. The ball seams away from a length as well. Thick outside edge and this time the ball is well wide of the second slip fielder before it dribbles away to the third man fence
3.4
4
Harshit Rana to de Kock, FOUR, edge and four! Pitched up outside off, de Kock flashes hard for a drive and gets a thick outside edge that flies over the slips. Both the slip fielders just watch the ball go over them. Perhaps, Ruturaj should have at least jumped and attempted to go for the catch at second slip. Harshit isn't a happy man

Arshdeep Singh to Rickelton, out Caught by Rahul!! Edge and taken! Arshdeep strikes early. 132kph, another outswinger from the left-armer. The length is a bit fuller and the line is wider. Rickelton chases that away from his body. Leans across to drive through the covers and all he manages is an outside edge. Easy grab for the keeper. Rickelton, back in the XI, departs for a duck. Rickelton c Rahul b Arshdeep Singh 0(4)
