Bhuvneshwar Kumar to open the bowling for Proteas and facing him is Hashim Amla with Quinton de Kock at the other end.
Amla gets off the mark with a single to thirdman from the second delivery. De Kock gets off the mark with a four, flicking a full delivery on the pads through square leg as five runs come from the first over.
Umesh Yadav to bowl the second over. Amla goes after a wide delivery but gets an edge which flies past the slips for a four.
Left-hander de Kock is beaten as Yadav gets the ball to move away before he takes a single from the last ball.
Bhuvneshwar again pitches on the pads as de Kock flicks it through the leg side for a four.
In the next over, de Kock gets a lifeline as he pulls a short ball but Rohit at midwicket is unable to hold on to a tough chance. He punches the next ball down the ground past mid-off for a four before a leading edge gets him two runs through covers.
The last ball is again overpitched as Amla times it sweetly through midwicket for a four to get 11 from the over.
SA off to a flier as they reach 29 for no loss in four overs.
