SA 180-5 (58 ovs) & 335 vs India 307 
| Scorecard

The highest run chase at Centurion is 251 for eight by England against South Africa in 2000. And most certainly, India won't want much more than 250 to chase on this pitch offering uneven bounce to the pacers.

Bumrah to start off with the ball for India after the lunch interval. Philander taps the second ball and runs across for a quick single.

Du Plessis also picks up a single before Philander awkwardly defends one which rises steeply and manages to keep it down.

Ashwin to bowl from the other end as India will need to keep a check on the scoring along with going for wickets.

South Africa easily pick four singles off the spinner's 23rd over, who has gone wicketless so far.

Bumrah bowls a full delivery which shapes in sharply and hits Philander on the pads but the leg before appeal is turned down with the ball looking to go down the leg side.

South Africa are 180 for five in 58 overs with an overall lead of 208 runs.
