India 187-all out (76.4 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

Bhuvneshwar taps Morkel on the off-side for a single before Ishant sees off the rest of the over.

Philander gets the first ball of his next over to move away quite a lot as Bhuvneshwar is all squared up. The next two balls again move away as Bhuvneshwar is left all at sea before Philander gets one to come in but the right-hander manages to block it out.

Ishant struggling as Morkel beats him with one that moves away before he nearly chips one to the fielder on the leg side as it falls just short.

Bhuvneshwar looking to score some runs as he drives Philander through the covers for two runs but can't get the single off the last two balls to keep strike.

Rabada comes back and immediately strikes with the first ball of his new spell.

Ishant's struggle comes to an end as he edges a full delivery from Rabada and Faf du Plessis does well to take a low catch diving forward.

Ishant walks back without troubling the scorers as India lose their ninth wicket.

The ball is still doing quite a bit as new batsman Jasprit Bumrah pokes his bat at a wide outswinger and is beaten.

The next ball deviates a long way coming into Bumrah, who is hit on the pads and the ball goes fine on the leg side and umpire Aleem Dar calls it four byes.

South Africa, who have two DRS reviews in hand, take the review but the decision stays as the ball slips down the leg side.

Bumrah somehow manages to block the last three balls which also gets Bhuvi back on strike for the next over.

Bhuvneshwar looks to heave Philander on the leg side but gets a thick inside edge for two runs to square leg.

But he gets the next ball off the middle, smashing it straight back past the bowler for a four.

Bhuvneshwar has another go but fails to make proper connection before he is beaten off the next ball.

Bhuvi does well to steer the fifth ball to the fielder at fly slip kept a bit deep for one, to keep strike and expose Bumrah for just the last ball.

The last ball is full and moves away but it is good for a No. 11 batsman who misses it by a long way.

Bhuvneshwar continues to attack. In the next over, he lofts Rabada down the ground but Ngidi back tracking from mid-on is unable to judge the ball cleanly to continue South Africa's poor day in the field.

The next ball is a teaser again as Bhuvi's chip just about evades the fielder at short cover for another couple of runs before he steals a quick bye off the last ball to keep strike.

Ngidi comes back from the other end, replacing Philander. Bhuvneshwar continues his positive approach as he clubs a length ball from Ngidi down the ground for a four.

He asks the non-striker Bumrah in Hindi if he would be able to play the last two balls who replies saying just give me the last ball.

Bhuvneshwar clips the fourth ball to fine leg but turns down the single. Ngidi bowls an awkward bounce which Bhuvneshwar looks to avoid but it hits the bat which is still pointing up for a single to on the leg side as the ball falls safely before Bumrah offers no shot to the last ball.

Rabada from round the wicket, bowling bouncers to Bhunveshwar with a couple of fielders placed close in on the leg side.

He ducks under a couple of them before he has a go but is caught at deep midwicket to perish for 30.
