India 61-4 (29 ovs) vs SA 286 | Scorecard


Morkel bowls a full delivery on the pads as Pujara flicks him through square leg for a four to get some much needed runs for India.

In the next over, Rabada induces the edge from Rohit but it flies past the slips for a four. Two balls later he has a shout for caught behind turned down as Rohit survives again.

Pujara, meanwhile, looks solid and makes most of another loose ball from Morkel as he glances him fine for another four.

Rabada makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Rohit, who is given out leg before wicket for 11. The pacer beat Rohit with the incoming delivery who was half forward and hit in line with the stumps.

He takes the DRS after consulting his partner Pujara, but the ball is going on to hit the stumps and the decision stays.

A hard toil for Rohit, who managed just 11 runs from 59 balls with a single boundary.

Ravichandran Ashwin gets a deadly one first up, short and on the body as it hits him on the right gloves. The physio comes out to attend Ashwin, who seems to have sustained a painful blow on his bowling hand but he is fit to continue.

The next ball as expected is another bouncer on the body as Ashwin fends it awkwardly, trying to save himself as the ball goes fine past the fielder at leg slip for a four.

The last ball is a yorker as Ashwin shuffles across but misses the flick with the ball going wide of the stumps.
