6.3 : South Africa:23/1
6.3: S Thakur to H Amla, OUT! Amla walks! Shardul Thakur is off for a celebratory run as he draws first blood. But to be honest this wasn't a wicket-taking delivery by any means. Short ball, angling down leg, Amla walks across to help it on its way down to fine leg. Ends up gloving it towards Dhoni who moves swiftly to his left to take a regulation catch. They appeal but Hashim walks without even waiting for the decision. He showed signs of returning to form in the last game but has flopped once again today.

3.2: J Bumrah to A Markram, Edged but it falls well short! Angles it in from outside off, but this one doesn't rise as much as Markram expected it to be. He hangs his bat out at that, ekes out a soft edge which falls short of the man at widish slip.
