3.4 : India:19/1
3.4: L Ngidi to R Sharma, OUT! Off the gloves and Rohit Sharma perishes! We saw Amla gloving one down the leg side, this is almost identical to his wicket. Short of a length delivery, kicking off the deck but the line is around the leg stump. Rohit Sharma, who is too good a puller tries to go after this with his one leg up in the air. Extra bounce of the surface means that he fails to get the desired connection as the ball lobs off the gloves towards the left of the keeper where Klaasen pouches it safely. Centurion in the previous game departs cheaply at Centurion.

2.4: M Morkel to R Sharma, FOUR! Shot! But that was a poor effort from Tahir! Shortish delivery, with width gifted outside off, Sharma latches onto it. Gets it square on the off side and Tahir at third man gets across to his right, puts in a slide but lets the ball through him to the fence. Could have done better there.

08:48 PM (IST)
0.5 : India:5/0
0.5: M Morkel to R Sharma, FOUR! Edged and it flies through. Rohit Sharma is off the mark in an unconvincing manner.

08:47 PM (IST)

0.4: M Morkel to R Sharma, Back of a length delivery on middle and off, Sharma presses forward and stabs it out towards the cover fielder.
08:47 PM (IST)
0.3 : India:1/0
0.3: M Morkel to R Sharma, A stifled appeal for an LBW! Morkel brings this one back in from outside off, Sharma looks to tuck it away but misses to get hit high on the pads.

India chase begins...
08:44 PM (IST)
We are back for the run chase. Considering the way the series has panned out, should be a stroll in the park for the Men in Blue. Out walk Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan to open the batting. Morne Morkel to run in first up. He has a couple of slips in place...
08:08 PM (IST)
Once again the Indian team was brilliant on the field. Their bowlers were patient throughout and were rewarded with wickets. Shardul Thakur after bowling an ordinary first over bounced back nicely and finished with a 4-wicket haul. The target is pretty straightforward and considering India's batting form, this should be chased down with ease. Having said that, cricket is a funny old game and sometimes these low targets prove to be tricky. Join us in a short while for the chase.
08:03 PM (IST)
Yet another disappointing batting show by the Proteas! They adopted a cautious approach up front but still lost both the openers inside the Powerplay. Then, the pair of AB de Villiers and Khaya Zondo batted with fluency and constructed a 62-run partnership in quick time. But once the former departed, it all went pear-shaped for the hosts. Khaya Zondo went into a shell and the batsmen coming in were not able to rotate the strike enough. Pressure mounted and it resulted in more wickets. In fact, they lost their last 8 wickets for just 99 runs.
