SA 205-3 (39 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


Harbhajan, who has two overs left, comes back. He continues to bowl and gives away just five runs in his ninth over.

Du Plessis gets another lifeline as Dhawan again puts down a tough chance at short cover off Patel. It turns out to be a good over from the left-arm spinner as the two batsmen get a single each.

While du Plessis is looking to hit out at every opportunity, de Kock, in his 90s, has slowed down considerably and is ensuring that he gets his century.

Good mix of pace from Bhuvi as the batsmen are unable to get him away and manage just five singles from his seventh over.

Mohit comes back as Dhoni holds back Harbhajan for his final over, maybe keeping him back for AB de Villiers.

De Kock gets to his century in grand style from 114 balls as he comes down the track and drives Mohit through the covers for a four. De Kock continues his good record against India, having hit his fourth hundred from seven innings against them.

The left-hander deserves the landmark, having worked very hard out in the middle in hot and humid conditions.

Two balls later, du Plessis paddles Mohit fine on the leg side for a four. But the bowler gets revenge off the very next delivery and it is Dhoni's superb fielding placing which does the trick.

Du Plessis ramps it straight behind the keeper and the fielder stationed fine at short thirdman runs back to take the catch.

Du Plessis, who had a few reprieves, walks back after a good innings of 60 from 63 balls.
