India 81-2 (16 ovs) vs South Africa 269-8 (50 ovs) | Scorecard

Drinks are called as India have lost two wickets though they have not scored at a fast pace.

Phehlukwayo comes into the attack as clouds gather over the Kingsmead Stadium in Durban.

He gives six runs in the over, including a wide.

Now it is up to Kohli to make amends for being a catalyst in the Dhawan dismissal.

He will have to launch a fight back with Rahane to get to victory.

Morris continues and Kohli plays three dot balls before scampering for a couple through square on the off-side.

Four runs off the over.

Tahir continues and Kohli takes a single to sweeper cover.

Rahane then takes a single to long-on.

Kohli hesitates again, this time Rahane is well in the crease before the bails are knocked off.

3 runs come off the over.

Rahane comes to the crease but Kohli has strike and he gets one run off the penultimate ball of the over.

Rahane yet to get off the mark after facing the last ball of the over.

Morris continues after that expensive first.

Kohli gets the first run in the over down to third man.

Next ball a mix up and Dhawan is run out off a direct hit by Aiden Markram.

There was a half LBW appeal from Morris and while Dhawan was looking for the ball after it crashed into his pads, Kohli had run down the track, forcing Dhawan to run at the other end.

Unfortunately for him, Markram's direct throw saw him well short of the crease. There was no run there in the first place.

Dhawan gone for 35 off 29. Big wicket for South Africa.

Imran Tahir comes into the attack.

Kohli gets a single off the second ball of the over.

Dhawan then goes down on one knee and just cuts the ball square on the off side for lovely boundary.

The batsmen take 7 runs off Tahir's first over.
