| Scorecard

Kohli drives Maharaj down the ground for one before Parthiv Patel hits a full toss down the ground for a single to get off the mark.

Kohli keeps strike with a quick single off the last ball.

In the next over, Kohli reaches out to a wide delivery from Rabada as he strokes it through the covers for a single.

Parthiv has to be at his defensive best, who is all fired up following the wicket of Rohit in his previous over. The left-hander does well to keep out a full delivery on the off-side before he gets his bat down in time to defend a yorker.

India have found it easy against Maharaj as they take three singles off the 49th over. The left-arm spinner has given away 42 runs in 14 overs on a pitch while picking up the wicket of Vijay, who played a careless shot to give his wicket away.

Rabada makes way for the young Ngidi after an superb second spell. The first ball hits Kohli on the pads who comes across a long away and looks to play it across the line on the leg side.

The umpire turns down the leg before wicket but South Africa take the DRS. Luckily for Kohli (71), the inside edge has saved him from what looks like a plumb leg before wicket decision.

However, Kohli has got three runs from that shot with that clip on the leg shot.

Parthiv turns the pacer on the leg side for two runs before Kohli keeps strike with one from the last ball.
