Marco Jansen to Nitish Reddy, out Caught by Markram!! An absolute screamer from Markram! Oh he couldn't have stretched any further than he did and no wonder he's being mobbed by his teammates in celebration. The delivery is a snorter from Jansen to begin with, again getting that incredible lift off the pitch. Has looked very threatening with that bounce after tea and hasn't taken long for him to find the reward. Banged in short, gets very big on Nitish Reddy as he tries fending it off, he's in no control and it balloons off the glove to the right of second slip. And from there, the brilliance of Markram takes over as he charges across and flies to his right side, reaching out with one hand and plucking it at full stretch. South Africa have India on their knees in Guwahati. Nitish Reddy c Markram b Marco Jansen 10(18) [4s-1]

Marco Jansen to Nitish Reddy, no run, the bounce is so awkward to deal with from Jansen. Banged in short, angling away, Nitish Reddy does his best to ride the bounce and somehow manages to keep it down. Was struck very high on the bat, not in total control

Marco Jansen to Nitish Reddy, FOUR, the edge dies immediately and rolls between slip and gully! Zipping across the right-hander off a good length, Nitish Reddy is very tentative in defence, has a bit of a poke and it takes a thick edge. Played it with soft hands and it went down before finding the gap
