SA 140-8 (42 ovs) vs India 497-9 | Scorecard

South Africa pacer Anrich Nortje gets a nasty bouncer first up. Shami bowls a good pacy short ball as Nortje is struck on the right shoulder trying to avoid it.

Shami follows it up with another quick short ball as Nortje again sustains a blow.

A full delivery next which slips down the pads as Nortje misses the clip but ends up taking a leg bye to get to the other end.

Linde decides to chance his arm as he lofts Ashwin down the ground and just about manages to clear the fielder at mid-on to get a boundary, before he plays out the rest of the over.

Shami continues to torment Nortje with short balls. Another good bouncer directed at the body as the right-hander tries to defend but is struck on the right elbow. He has sustained a painful blow and the physio comes out to attend to him.

The next ball is a yorker as Nortje keeps it out before he defends another short ball which goes on the bounce to short leg and does the same with the last ball as Shami goes short again.

Linde comes down the track to Ashwin and defends but the inside edge falls safely. He then looks to have Ashwin on the leg side but misses and is hit on the pads. The umpire turns down the appeal as India take the review but the ball is missing the leg stump as the hosts lose their second and final review.

Linde is again hit on the pads and again the leg before shout is turned down before he swings the fifth ball through midwicket for a four.
