0 0 0 1 Wd5 Wd Wd Wd 4 0 = 13 from the Aphiwe Mnyanda over. Poor line from the Protea pacer. After a good spell of bowling, he has been a bit wayward this over. The keeper is having a tough time behind the wicket. IND: 38/2 after 8 overs
Shaik Rasheed takes the attack to Matthew Boast and the first one is a pull over mid-wicket and the next one is a drive past mid-on. India needed this push. IND: 25/2 after 7 overs
Aphiwe Mnyanda strikes again and once again he does the damage with the inswinger. Full and straight and Raghuvanshi mad the error of shuffling too much and he is caught plumb in front. India have lost both their openers. IND: 14/2 after 6 overs
Harnoor Singh is trapped in front by Aphiwe Mnyanda for 1 off 3 balls. Aphiwe Mnyanda bowls an in-angling length ball on the stumps. Harnoor Singh moves across to defend and is beaten on the inside edge. IND: 7/1 after 2 overs
Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Harnoor Singh are at the crease. Angkrish Raghuvanshi is on strike. Matthew Boast will open the attack. LET"S PLAY
