FOUR! Klaasen hits a classic shot here. Now, take that for a response from Klaasen. Once again he is quick to pick the short ball and nails his pull shot to the deep mid-wicket fence. Bumrah has a smile on his face. 8 from the over, more like a drop of water in desert. SA 129/3 in 29 overs.

OUT! Chahal removes de Villiers for 30 runs. Chahal strikes gold! He does a dab to celebrate this wicket. He got unlucky in the previous over when the LBW decision was overturned but now he has got the big fish. AB de Villiers backs away but Chahal smartly bowls a flatter and quicker one on the stumps. It skids off the surface, goes underneath the bat of the big man and pegs the leg stump back. Disappointment for AB, rejoice for the Indians. The stand that was blooming has been cut short at the right time. South Africa 105/3 in 20.5 overs vs India in Centurion.

SIX! Zondo strikes two sixes after being given not out. Hundred up for SA in 19 overs. And again! This is even big. Zondo has picked the bones outta that one. 100 is up for South Africa and Zondo gets a fist punch from de Villiers. Another one on the shorter side, it's googly which went horribly wrong. Khaya rocks back and smokes it over deep mid-wicket for the second maximum of the over. 12 runs off the over!

Yuzvendra Chahal to Khaya Zondo, NOT OUT! INSIDE EDGE! Spotted on Ultra Edge! Chahal keeps it really full on the stumps, Zondo gets down to play the sweep but seems to have missed it completely to get hit on the pads. A loud appeal to which umpire Dar raises his finger. Zondo takes the review. Ultra Edge shows a spike as the ball passes the gloves. So the on-field call has to be overturned. Zondo survives!

Zondo is given out LBW but he is quick to take the DRS. Maybe, he has got an inside edge...

OUT! Thakur removes Markram for 24 runs. What a catch! Shreyas Iyer takes a stunner here. Shardul Thakur gets his second and he is absolutely pumped up. It's the cutter, served a bit wider on off, Markram couldn't resist and looks to thrash it over cover. Doesn't get complete hold on this as Iyer stationed there, times his leap to perfection to take a lovely catch. He dropped a few in the series already but this should please him. So, both the South African openers are back inside the first Powerplay. South Africa 43/2 in 9.5 overs vs India in Centurion.

Shardul Thakur removes Hashim Amla for 10 runs. Caught by MS Dhoni. Amla walks off! Shardul Thakur is off for a celebratory run as he draws first blood. But to be honest this wasn't a wicket-taking delivery by any means. Short ball, angling down leg, Amla walks across to help it on its way down to fine leg. Ends up gloving it towards Dhoni who moves swiftly to his left to take a regulation catch. Amla's poor run in the series continues. SA 23/1 in 6.3 overs.

Go around but luckily for the Protea skipper, it evades a leaping Chahal at mid-wicket who isn't the tallest in the opposition. A boundary results! SA 18/0 in 4.5 overs.

FOUR! In the air... but in the gap too! First boundary for Amla! Thakur keeps it full outside off, asks the batsman to go after it who obliges. Amla leans ahead and lifts it over covers. It was in the air for a while but flies well over the fielder for a boundary to spoil a good over. SA 13/0 in 3 overs.

FOUR! Thakur, who replaced Bhuvneshwar in the playing XI, gets hit for two consecutive boundaries. This is even better! Riding the bounce as they says! Another short of a length ball, in the channel outside off, Markram rises on the toes and cracks it square of the wicket on the off side. Pierces the gap and picks up back-to-back boundaries.
