Finally a break for the spinners as pacer Mohit Sharma comes into the attack. He beats Duminy with the first delivery as he went after a wide delivery but misses. A single each for Duminy and du Plessis in that over as Mohit concedes just two runs in the over.

Harbhajan also gets a break as Axar switches ends, taking over the senior off-spinner, who bowled one for 27 in six overs.

Two singles from the first two balls before du Plessis hits one through the covers for a four followed by two more singles from the last two deliveries.

Mohit attempts a short ball to Duminy who pulls it to deep midwicket for one. Du Plessis slaps the next ball through the off-side for three runs before Duminy gets a leg bye followed by another quick single to mid-off.

Part-timer Suresh Raina comes into the attack. Immediately du Plessis sweeps him fine for a single and Duminy plays the same shot for two more runs.

The left-hander paddles the third ball fine for another couple of runs before he punches it to long-on for one.

Raina drops short as du Plessis yet again plays the backfoot cover drive for a four as 10 come from the over.

South Africa looking comfortable on 103 for two in 20 overs, with another 145 needed from 30 overs for victory.
