India 104-3 (50 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

That wicket will dent India big time as far as their scoring rate is concerned. Kohli was looking to be positive and keep the scoreboard ticking while Pujara looked to just stay at the wicket at the other end.

Now with Kohli gone, Pujara will have to take the impetus and take some pressure off Rahane, who is making a comeback to the Test team.

Pujara sticks to his Plan A as he plays out another maiden over from Rabada.

In the next over, Rahane guides Ngidi past point for a couple of runs to get off the mark.

Morkel comes back, taking over from Rabada. Rahane has a nervous poke outside the off-stump but is beaten as the ball moves away before het aps the fifth ball on the leg side for one.

Philander comes back and strikes with the wicket of Rahane in the first over of his new spell.

But to South Africa's horror, Philander has overstepped and Rahane (3) has got a much-needed lifeline as it called as a no-ball.

Kohli was dropped twice and now Rahane has been caught off a no-ball, it has not been a good outing on the field for the Proteas so far.

Rahane looking shaky outside the off-stump as he looks to leave the ball quite late but it ends up hitting the bottom as he tries to withdraw, going past point for two runs.

India have reached 104 for three in 50 overs, with Pujara on 22 from 135 balls, with Rahane is on five from 22 balls.
