SA 154-8 (47 ovs) vs India 497-9 | Scorecard

Shami keeps bowling short to Nortje, who defends the first two balls and then gets a thick inside edge past short leg for a couple. The last ball is full and comes in sharply but the leg before shout is turned down as there was some inside edge.

Linde is looking a lot more assured against Ashwin as he watchfully defends the first four balls and then drives the offie to long-off for one.

Left-arm spinner Nadeem comes into the attack in place of Shami. Linde immediately comes down the track and lofts the spinner over the long-on fielder for a six.

Nadeem nearly strikes next ball as Linde gets the outside edge trying to defend but wicketkeeper Saha barely has time to react and gets his gloves on it as the ball hits his pads.

He then flicks the fourth ball behind square for a single and Nortje defends the last two balls.

Left-arm spinners from both ends as Jadeja comes in from the other end to replace Ashwin. Linde taps the first ball on the off-side and takes a quick single. Nortje picks a single on the leg side before Linde takes another run on the off-side.

Nadeem bowling a beautiful spell. He gets the ball to turn sharply as Linde is beaten through the gap between bat and pad. The left-hander then has a huge swing but the ball turns the other way and he misses again before he clips the fourth ball to fine leg for one.
