India 125-6 (30 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

South Africa firmly in control as India's batting fails yet again. Tahir goes from round the wicket to left-hander Patel, who defends the first five balls before taking a single from the last ball.

Rabada takes over from Morkel, who gets a breather despite taking a wicket in his previous over.

Patel nudges one to square leg but is sent back by Dhoni but the left-hander is casual getting back and is lucky that the throw missed the stumps with him out of the crease.

The last ball is short and Dhoni pulls it fine on the leg side for a four, his first of the innings.

De Villiers using the opportunity to bring back part-timer Duminy, also realising that the fifth bowler's quota needs to be taken care of. The off-spinner slips in a tidy over, conceding just three runs.

De Villiers doing well to keep attacking from one end with his pacers as Steyn comes back, in place of Rabada, who bowled just one over in his previous spell.

Patel looks to pull a short ball but is beaten by the extra pace of Steyn, who picks just a single from the last ball of the over.

In the next over, Patel looks to break the shackles as he lofts Duminy down the ground over long-off for a six.

Steyn cripples India further with the wicket of Patel, who is beaten by a full delivery and is caught in front of the stumps.

He is dismissed leg before wicket for 13 as India slip to 124 for six in the 30th over. The impact was a bit high, just on the knee roll but umpire Aleem Dar ruled in the bowler's favour.

India reeling on 125 for six in 30 overs with captain Dhoni unbeaten on 18 from 20 balls.
