0.5: S Thakur to A Markram, Stays right behind the line and offers a straight bat.

0.4: S Thakur to A Markram, Good stop, Rahane! Little bit outside the line of the off stump and it stays a touch low too. Aiden crouches and cuts it hard towards point where Rahane dives to his left to make a good stop.

0.3: S Thakur to A Markram, FOUR! Ahhh. This is even better! Riding the bounce as they say! Another short of a length ball, in the channel outside off, Markram rises on the toes and cracks it square of the wicket on the off side. Pierces the gap and picks up back-to-back boundaries.

0.2: S Thakur to A Markram, FOUR! Onto it in a flash! South African skipper is up and running. What a hit this is. Thakur serves a bit of width outside off, some late shape away, Markram slaps it through cover-point to open his account with a boundary.

0.1: S Thakur to A Markram, Starts off from over the wicket and drops it on a back of a length, just outside off. Gets a good amount of bounce as Aiden Markram hops and taps it beside the pitch.

It's time for the National Anthems. It will be India's first followed by South Africa's. After the completion, we are all set to get rolling. The Protea openers are Hashim Amla and Aiden Markram. India to begin with Shardul Thakur first up. Two slips in place for him. Here he comes steaming in...

The Indian coach, Ravi Shastri is up for a chat. He says the way the boys have come out after 2-0 down in the Test series is outstanding. States their game plan is that only one man has to get a hundred and the score automatically touches 300. Feels that it has been working well for them as they don't take much pressure and take one game at a time. Opines it's been a fantastic tour for them. Appreciates the crowd for its support in each and every game. Reckons, the boys have stepped up, taken the responsibility handed to them and proudly adds that this team will reach another level 2 months down the line.

South Africa skipper, Aiden Markram says they are just striving to put out the perfect game today. Adds the pitch looks a cracker, a good batting surface and hopes for a great show. Informs they have made four changes. Imran Tahir, Chris Morris, Khaya Zondo and Farhaan Behardien come in for Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, JP Duminy and David Miller.

India skipper, Virat Kohli says they will bowl first. Feels the pitch is hard and dry and hence the decision. Further says as a good batting unit they want the challenge to chase the total and want the bowlers to get used to a situation they might encounter in a crunch game. Informs they have got one change. Shardul Thakur comes in and Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been rested.

Toss - Markram flips the coin. Kohli calls Tails. Tails it is. India will field!

South Africa, on the other hand, have been hit by too many injuries due to which we have got to witness lopsided games. With Amla getting back to runs and AB de Villiers yet to arrive to the party, there is every chance for the Proteas to go for the kill as they will be playing for pride. Other important news is that, thunderstorms were predicted later in the day but it's bright and sunny at the moment and let's hope that it stays the same. Will it be yet another one-way traffic? Stay with us to find out. Toss and all the news about both the teams coming up shortly...

The ODI series is done and dusted as far as the result is concerned but we have the formalities to complete. We welcome you to the 6th and final game at the SuperSport Park, Centurion. With the series already in the bag, Virat Kohli has already leaked out the news to test the bench strength and it will be interesting to see who they bring in.
