Rohit, Kohli steady India after Dhawan's dismissal
October 18, 2015 18:52
India 67-1 (15 ovs) vs SA 270-7 | Scorecard
Dhawan throws his good start away with a rash shot. He gives Morkel the charge but gets a thick outside edge and is caught behind by wicketkeeper de Villiers.
Another failure for Dhawan, who managed just 13 from 29 balls, and struggled to get going.
A big outing for Virat Kohli, who has failed to score a fifty in his last 12 innings in ODIs.
He is keen to get going with a few quick singles before Rohit steers Duminy behind point for two runs.
Steyn, after a short first spell of two overs, come back. He replaces Morkel, who bowled a wonderful first spell of one for 10 in fours including a maiden.
Kohli turns the first ball off the stumps through midwicket for a couple followed by a single.
Two dot balls before Rohit give Steyn the charge and smokes it back over his head for a straight six to take India past the 50-run mark. He keeps strike with a single from the last ball.
Kohli looks very confident today and has started solidly here. An over-pitched delivery from Duminy is driven in some style through the covers for a four, his first of the innings.
Steyn gets Kohli to drive a wide delivery and gets an edge but it goes wide through to thirdman for two runs before he takes a single later in the over as India reach 67 for one in 15 overs.
