India 219-9 (34.2 ovs) vs SA 438-4 | Scorecard

Steyn, who has three for 38 in seven overs, gets a break as he makes way for Tahir.

Dhoni is unable to get the big hits away as he pulls a short ball to deep midwicket for two runs. He can't even get a full toss away hitting it on the leg side for a couple.

Tahir finally gets his name among the wicket-takers list as Bhuvneshwar holes out to the fielder at long-on to fall for one.

With the required run rate at around 13, Dhoni is content to play steadily. But on the odd occasion he hammers Behardien's medium pace straight down the ground for a four before he tickles the next one fine on the leg side for another boundary.

Dhoni decides he has had enough as he comes down the track to Tahir but is beaten completely as the ball spins the other way and comes in to crash into his stumps.

Dhoni walks back after a disappointing knock of 27 from 29 balls as India stand a wicket away from a humiliating defeat and along with it the series.
