India 192-7 (43 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

Rabada tries a short ball at Dhoni who pulls it over square leg for a four and two balls later hits a wide one through the off-side for another boundary as Dhoni finally looks to break the shackles.

Morkel, who has three overs in hand, comes back. Harbhajan pulls the third ball but can't get enough power on it for a single to deep midwicket. A short ball to Dhoni is pulled to fine leg for one before Harbhajan fails to get a run from the last two deliveries.

Duminy comes back as South Africa still have one over pending of the fifth bowler's quota.

He starts with a short ball which Dhoni pulls straight down the ground for a six to bring up his fifty in some style, from 56 balls.

Dhoni winds up for another one but is beaten in the flight for just a single.

Harbhajan Singh has a slog but fails to hit it cleanly for a four through midwicket as the fielder is unable to get it. But he gets the next one bang off the middle for a six over long-on but is beaten off the last ball as Duminy goes for 17 in the over.
