Left-arm spinner Maharaj into the attack now and he starts poorly with a ball wide down the leg side that Dhawan plays to fine leg for a four.
A dot later, Dhawan gets a single to the leg side before Kohli plays out three dots. 5 come off the over.
Kohli is the new man in and after a dot, Markram drags one down, Kohli connects and pulls it to backward square leg for a four to get off the mark.
A dot to end the over as 6 runs and a wicket come off it.
Markram continues and Rahul and Dhawan take a single each off the first two balls before the bowler strikes!
Markram makes Rahul play for the drive, the batter gets a faint nick and is caught behind for 12 off 17.
South Africa get the first breakthrough.
