India 51-2 (10 ovs) vs SA 438-4 | Scorecard

Virat Kohli comes in at No. 3 with India facing a near-impossible of chasing down this huge total.

Rabada bowls a quick bouncer to Dhawan, who does well to avoid it, before driving the next ball, a full toss through midwicket for a four.

The left-hander looks to be getting his touch back. Kyle gives him width as Dhawan steers it through the point region for a four before he pulls a short ball over square leg for another four.

Kohli decides to go on the attack straightaway. A short ball from Rabada is pulled with some power over the leg side for a six but the bowler gets his revenge off the very next delivery.

Rabada bowls a full wide delivery as Kohli throws his bat at it but gets an edge to be caught behind for seven. That was way outside the off-stump, infact it was so wide that Kohli did well to get something on it as wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock took a stunning one-handed catch diving to his right.

That effectively should seal the contest with two in-form Indian batsmen dismissed cheaply to leave the hosts struggling on 45 for two in eight overs.

Steyn, who bowled just one over in his first spell, comes back. He does well to give just three runs after Abbott had given the same number of runs in the previous over.

India are 51 for two in 10 overs, needing another 388 runs from the remaining 40 overs for victory at an asking rate of 9.70.
