SA 126-4 (33 ovs) vs Ind | Scorecard

Bumrah bowling with much better discipline after the break, sticking to a line just on and around the off-stump and showing good control with his length.

India also ensuring that South Africa don't score quickly as they did in the morning session, with the bowlers looking to bowl with discipline.

Pandya has settled into an excellent rhythm. Du Plessis is beaten again outside the off-stump trying to flirt with a wide outswinger before he picks a single from the last ball of the over.

Du Plessis struggling outside the off-stump as he plays a loose shot again and is beaten, this time against Bumrah.

The Indians go up in appeal for a no-ball as they take the DRS but Bumrah has overstepped. This has been an ongoing problem with Bumrah, who keeps taking wickets with no-balls and he still hasn't worked on the problem.

But going back to the original appeal, the ball missed the bat comfortably as it went off the thigh pads. It turns out to be a poor review from the Indians!

Pandya doing his job to perfection, holding one end up with some disciplined bowling as he sticks to end side of the wicket.

Bumrah finally makes the breakthrough with the wicket of de Villiers, who flays at a wide delivery without any footwork but gets an inside edge and is bowled after a cracking innings of 65, having hit 11 fours in his 84-ball knock.

De Villiers rallied South Africa after a few early wickets with his attacking approach as he put on 114 runs for the fourth wicket with captain du Plessis.
