SA 118-9 (47 ovs) vs India 334 | Scorecard


A good contest between de Villiers and Ashwin, with neither willing to give an inch. AB comes down the track as Ashwin shortens his length forcing the batsman to defend. The fourth ball is fired down the leg side with Ashwin expecting AB to come down but it spins away and beats wicketkeeper Saha for four byes.

Jadeja getting a lot of turn and bounce to some deliveries as de Villiers decides to withdraw from the shot at the last minute and sensibly so.

The left-arm spinner completes his five-wicket haul with the big scalp of de Villiers, who is brilliantly caught by Ishant at long-on inches inside the ropes.

De Villiers came down the track to loft Jadeja down the ground but failed to make proper connection and was caught quite close to the ropes by the lanky Ishant, who did well to judge the catch and hold his balance.

De Villiers walks back after scoring 42 from 78 balls, to leave South Africa on 118 for nine in 47 overs, with another 16 runs needed to avoid the follow-on.
