SA 52-2 (26 ovs) vs India 187 | Scorecard

Shami struggling with his rhythm as he bowls another big wide outside the off-stump to Amla.

Two balls later, he bowls it on the pads as Amla flicks it through square leg for three runs.

The last ball is beauty as Rabada is beaten yet again as the ball moves away and also bounced quite a bit.

Amla looks to break the shackles. He goes after a short ball from Bumrah but gets a top edge which flies over the slips and goes for a four.

But the last ball comes off the middle as Amla crashes it square through the off-side for the second four of the over.

Rabada slowly getting his eye in. He makes most of some width from Shami, hitting the pacer through the covers for his third four of the innings.

Rabada looks to pull Bumrah but can't get hold of it as it falls short of the fielder at midwicket. The last ball again moves away and beats Rabada, who has a poke at it.

Amla continues to shuffle across and get himself outside the line of the off-stump. The shine has worn off the ball which is 25 overs old now and batting has become a little bit easier now.

Rabada plays another cracking shot as he flicks a full delivery from Bumrah through midwicket for a four to take South Africa past the 150-run mark, in the 26th over.
