India 77-4 (20/40 ovs) vs SA 249-4 | Scorecard
Shamsi gets the ball to turn sharply but down the leg side to Shreyas and is called a wide.
Shreyas counter-attacks as he comes down the track and lofts the bowler back over his head for a four.
The next ball is a trifle short as Shreyas punches it through the covers for a couple of runs.
Shreyas comes down again and has a big swing but this time he gets it off the inside edge on to the pads as the ball goes on the leg side.
He drives the last ball to sweeper cover for a single.
Samson also decides attack is the best way to defend. He comes down the track and launches Shamsi over midwicket for a six to get off the mark in some style.
Parnell, who took 1/11 in four overs in his first spell, is back into the attack. Iyer punches the first ball in the gap through the covers for three runs as the fielder puts in the dive at sweeper cover to save the boundary.
Samson inside edges the next on to his pads before he offers no shot to the next.
Another leave which is way off the mark and is ruled a wide before Samson plays a nice drive through the covers for a single.
Shreyas inside edges the intended drive through the covers as the ball goes past the stumps for a four fine on the leg side and he gets one off the last ball.
At the halfway mark, India are struggling on 76/4 in 20 overs, needing another 174 runs in the remaining 20 overs for victory.
