India 3-1 (2 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

The in-form Rohit Sharma walks out to open the batting with Shikhar Dhawan, who needs a big innings to ward off his critics.

Dale Steyn to open the bowling and he immediately settles into a good line, just outside the off-stump and Rohit is happy to see them through. He drives the last ball through the covers for a single to get off the mark as just a single comes from the first over.

The young Kagiso Rabada to bowl the second over after his impressive showing in the first game.

The two Indian openers have a slight misunderstanding as Dhawan is sent back after coming down halfway for a quick single.

Rohit drives the next ball through the covers with some superb timing and gets two runs in the process.

Rabada gets the early wicket for South Africa with the big wicket of the in-form Rohit, who is beaten by the extra pace and is bowled for three. That was fast and came in sharply as it nudges the pads before crashing into the stumps.

Ajinkya Rahane comes in at No. 3 and he manages to see off the remaining two deliveries as India reach three for one in two overs.
