SA 90-2 (29 ovs) & 335 vs India 307 
| Scorecard

De Villiers turns Shami on the leg side for two runs before he gets a single off the third ball.

Shami gets one to bounce as Elgar gets out of the way somehow, he has battled hard and has also been reaped the benefits of India's poor catching.

The light doesn't look ideal despite the floodlights being switched on. He beats AB de Villiers with a full delivery that pitch on and around the off-stump and move away enough to beat the batsman, twice in a row.

The third ball comes in and this time AB taps it on the off-side for a single to complete his half-century, from 78 balls.

South Africa have progressed well to reach 90 for two in 29 overs, stretching their lead to 118 runs.

De Villiers has batted positively to reach 50 from 78 balls, having hit six fours, while Elgar has battled to score 36 from 78 balls, with the duo having added 87 runs so far for the third wicket.
