SA 240-2 (35 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Dhoni taking a gamble as he brings on part-time medium pacer Virat Kohli into the attack. He makes a good start in the circumstances giving away just five runs.

In the next over, Axar does well to keep the scoring rate down as he concedes only three runs, in his sixth over.

Kohli looking to bowl on the stumps and not give anything away. Du Plessis disrupts his rhythm by flicking one off the stumps through midwicket for a four as nine come from the over.

De Villiers also getting into the act. He spoils a good over from Axar by coming down the track to the last ball and lofting it over midwicket for a four to get eight from it.

Bhuvneshwar is called back into the attack. Du Plessis lofts the fourth ball over mid-on for a four to take the score to 240 for two in 35 overs.

Du Plessis is looking good for a century, having made 77 from 89 balls, while AB has got off to a quick start with 26 from 21 balls.
