Live Cricket Score: India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI, Centurion – India crush South Africa by nine wickets

V Philander to Marsh, Played to the point region by the batsman. No run.

M Morkel to Bancroft, FOUR! Exemplary shot! Morkel is too full and too straight on this occasion, Bancroft unfurls a lovely straight drive back past the diving bowler for a boundary down the ground. No stopping this one. 12 from the over!

M Morkel to Bancroft, Beauty! On a good length just outside off, moving away just a wee bit, Bancroft commits at playing at it and gets beaten. That nearly took the outside edge.

M Morkel to Bancroft, Just ahead of a length around off, Bancroft pushes it right back and Morkel only manages to get some hand behind it. It races down and the mid off fielder cuts it off. Another couple of runs added to the total.

M Morkel to Bancroft, Lovely piece of fielding by Philander, saves two runs for his side. Morkel claps for the effort. A delivery around middle and leg has been nudged fine down the leg side. Philander runs across to his left from deep square leg and dives to pull it back.

M Morkel to S Marsh, Morkel switches to around the wicket for the left-hander. Bowls it full and around off, a hint of away shape there, Marsh gets on the front foot and plays quietly inside the line. It takes the outer half of the bat and races through backward point. De Villiers chases it down and they take three runs.

M Morkel to Bancroft, Short of a length delivery outside off, Bancroft goes on his toes and plays it down in the gap at covers for a single.

V Philander to Marsh, A touch short and around leg, Marsh goes back and taps it down in front of square leg.

V Philander to Marsh, That's the line. Keeping it full and just around off, forcing the batsman to play at it. Marsh leans forward and defends it with his bat and pad placed together.

V Philander to Marsh, Hurls in a length delivery wide outside off, Marsh has nothing to do with it.

V Philander to Marsh, Gets back and defends it to the off side.

V Philander to Marsh, Fullish and outside off, driven nicely down the ground but it's fielded at mid off.

V Philander to Marsh, Too wide outside off, an easy leave for Marsh.

M Morkel to Bancroft, Shortish and around off, Cameron defends it off his back foot.

M Morkel to Bancroft, FOUR! Fine pull shot! Bancroft has played most of his cricket at Perth and he is habituated to playing cross-batted shots. Does well here to ride the bounce, keeps his eyes on the ball and sends it racing away to the deep mid-wicket fence.

M Morkel to Bancroft, Goes on the back foot and defends it down safely.

M Morkel to S Marsh, Another edge, this time the outside half of the bat. Marsh is the batsman. He tries defending from the crease but it moves away to take the outside edge. Runs down to third man and they cross.

M Morkel to Bancroft, Direct hit but no harm done! A length ball around off, moving back in a shade off the seam, Bancroft stays back to defend but it takes the inside edge and runs down to fine leg. They cross for an easy run. Philander meanwhile picks up the ball and hurls it in towards the keeper's end. Hits the timber, but no overthrow. Strangely, de Kock has not come up to the stumps to collect the throw. Where is he, asks Mike Haysman on air? Probably, saving his legs.

M Morkel to Bancroft, Outside off, it has been left alone by Cameron Bancroft.

V Philander to Marsh, Bowls it in the corridor outside off, Marsh makes a watchful leave to end the over.

V Philander to Marsh, Fullish and on the pads, Marsh keeps it out off his pads to mid-wicket.

V Philander to Marsh, The batsman has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery.

V Philander to Marsh, Straighter in line, played on the leg side to mid-wicket.

V Philander to S Marsh, Risky single, what are Australia up to? Do they need to take these chances currently? It's a length ball around off, Cameron taps it down to covers and calls his partner through for a quick single. Bavuma attacks the ball, has a shy at the striker's end but misses. Touch and go, that. Probably, they are underestimating Bavuma as a fielder. This is the second instance that a batting pair has taken him on. Should go back and watch the clip of Bavuma running Warner out in the Perth Test in 2016.

V Philander to Bancroft, Lovely delivery, angling into the batsman on a length and straightening a hint after pitching around off, Bancroft does well to defend it with a vertical bat.

Vernon Philander is brought back into the attack.

M Morkel to Marsh, Marsh has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery. End of a successful over, a wicket maiden!

M Morkel to Marsh, Pitching around leg, some extra bounce again, Marsh is hurried up and is hit on the thigh pad. The South Africans get excited for a moment but nothing doing.

Shaun Marsh walks in next at number 5.

M Morkel to Smith, OUT! A very soft dismissal for Steven Smith! Morkel has snapped his second wicket and it's a big one. He follows up the bouncer with a back of a length delivery outside off. There is a hint of away shape along with extra bounce as Smith has a needless push inside the line with an angled bat. He ends up playing it aerially and straight into the hands of Elgar at gully. He makes no mistake and a big roaring celebration from the Proteas follows. They surely know the value of this wicket. Morne Morkel who was left out for the last Test is leaving a big impact already.

M Morkel to Smith, Morkel attempts to push the batsman deep inside the crease. He hurls in a bouncer and Smith is forced to duck.

M Morkel to Smith, Good length delivery just outside off, holding its line, Smith with his trademark shuffle across the stumps covers the line and then leaves it alone.

M Morkel to Smith, A little short in length around off, Smith goes on his toes and defends it down on the leg side.

K Rabada to Bancroft, In the region outside off, Bancroft shoulders arms. Probing over by KG!

K Rabada to Smith, Shaping back into the batsman from around off, Smith helps it off from the inner half of the bat to backward square leg. A single taken.

K Rabada to Smith, This one is on a length outside off, Smith rather than lining his front foot, lines his head up and relies on his hand-eye coordination. Makes good connection with his cover drive but finds the fielder.

K Rabada to Smith, Rabada alters his length and line this time, it's full and more in the line of the off stump, Smith gets behind the line and defends it.

K Rabada to Smith, Beaten all ends up! Terrific delivery, clocked 148 kph and it's on a back of a length outside off, Smith looks to punch it off his back foot but is beaten for pace. Top bowling by Kagiso!

K Rabada to Smith, Bowls it from wide of the crease and angles in a full ball around off, Smith gets across the stumps, covers the line and defends it back.

Kagiso Rabada to continue...

M Morkel to Bancroft, Morkel goes short around off and as he always gets there is some extra bounce, Bancroft does well to keep it down and safe on the off side.

M Morkel to Bancroft, Angling into the batsman on a good length around middle, Bancroft gets back and blocks it on the leg side.

M Morkel to Bancroft, FOUR! That's a good shot! Morkel doles it out on a good length outside off, Cameron drives it on the up and middles it nicely to find the gap at backward point. It races away to the fence in no time.

M Morkel to Bancroft, Extra zip and lift from the surface, on a back of a length, Bancroft goes on the back foot and defends it back.

M Morkel to Bancroft, This time Morkel serves it on a good length outside off, holding its line, Cameron shoulders arms.

M Morkel to Bancroft, Starts the session with a well-cooked short delivery. Nicely targeted at the batsman and Bancroft eventually does well to sway away from the line.

Back for the afternoon session. The players concerned are back on the field. A crucial phase in this Test match as the visiting team find themselves on the back foot after losing two top order batsmen. South Africa are on top and they are in a huddle at the moment - a long discussion before they spread. Morne Morkel will continue his spell from this end. Bancroft to face. Three slips and a gully in place. Here we go...

... Day 2, Session 2 ...

Australia still trail by another 244 runs. They have their best batsman Steven Smith out there along with Cameron Bancroft and the away side will hope these two stitch a good partnership. The home side on the flip side would like to see the back of the Aussie skipper as soon as possible. Join us for the second session in a while.

The visiting team needed a good start by their openers and they got exactly that as Warner and Bancroft were milking runs. They did not start off in a convincing manner but in the fourth over Warner hit Rabada for three boundaries in a row and then the runs started to flow. Kagiso Rabada, however, came back roaring as he pegged the Australians back with the big wicket of Warner and then Morkel ensured South Africa headed into the break as the happier side by claiming Usman Khawaja at the stroke of lunch.
