15.3 overs (0 Run)
OUT! WHAT A CATCH THAT IS! Quinton de Kock, you beauty! Efforts like these, not only get you a wicket but surely lift the morale of the team. A huge, huge wicket for South Africa. They have India's best batsman, Virat Kohli. Not a great delivery this. It is short and wide outside off. Kohli looks to guide it down to third man but the extra bounce means the outside edge is taken. It lobs to the right of de Kock who flies like Superman and takes it with one hand. They needed this breakthrough and South Africa have got it. 174 more needed in 207.
15.2 overs (4 Runs)
FOUR! A little short and Kohli gets onto it quickly. He rocks back and pulls it, not off the middle but still hit well enough for the ball to race away to the fence.
