December 03, 2015  16:15

India 223-7 (80 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

Rahane has looked in superb touch as he plays another good drive off Abbott square on the off-side for two runs.

Tahir, who conceded 18 runs in his last three overs, is taken off and makes way for Piedt.

A huge appeal for caught off bat-pad against Ashwin off Piedt but umpire Dharmasena is not interested. Was there some glove on it?

Morkel comes on from the other end, replacing Abbott, who has taken three for 23 in 17 overs.

Rahane sweeps Piedt, hitting Bavuma at short leg who seems to have injured his hand as the physio comes out to attend. The next ball is short as Rahane pulls it through square leg for a boundary.

Piedt gets Rahane (78) to edge it straight to Amla at first slip, who puts down the straightforward opportunity.

In Piedt's next over, Rahane comes down the track and lofts him over midwicket for a six to move into the 80s.

He turns the last ball to fine leg for a single as India reach 223 for seven in 80 overs with Rahane on 85 and Ashwin on two.
