IND vs SA 5th T20I Live Cricket Score: Rain stops play; India lose Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan early

UPDATE 2027 IST (1457 GMT) - The scenes from the ground depict that the rain is persistent. Overs are being lost every minute and we might have a highly-reduced game, if at all. Fingers crossed the rain will stop soon.

UPDATE 2007 IST (1437 GMT) - Well, the umpires don't continue for long. The covers are called onto the field as the players walk out off. Hopefully, it is just a passing shower and doesn't take long to get back in action. Stay tuned for further updates...

Who will walk out now? It is Rishabh Pant that comes in at number 4. Along with him, the rain gods make a visit yet again, although the umpires decide to continues with the game.

Lungi Ngidi to Rishabh Pant, Off the mark straightaway. Length, around leg, Rishabh Pant tucks it away in front of square on the leg side for one. Oh, no! The drizzle has become stronger and the players might just come off here.

Lungi Ngidi to Ruturaj Gaikwad, OUT! CAUGHT! Lungi Ngidi with the double strike and he is all pumped up. This is pitched up on off, Ruturaj Gaikwad tries to take it on but goes a bit too hard at it. The ball goes off the toe end of the bat and is lofted just over mid on. Dwaine Pretorius takes a few steps backwards and pouches it safely. Two down now India and the scoring rate starting to come down as well. With that wicket, the drizzle is back too.

Lungi Ngidi to Ruturaj Gaikwad, In the air...but clears the infield. Length ball, outside off. Ruturaj Gaikwad steps out and carves it over the man at backward point for a couple of runs.

Kagiso Rabada to Shreyas Iyer, Pitches it up this time, around off. Shreyas Iyer drives it off the front foot but straight towards mid off.

Kagiso Rabada to Ruturaj Gaikwad, Around the top of off, Gaikwad hangs back and steers it behind point for a single.

Kagiso Rabada to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! Just short of a length, on middle. Gaikwad picks up the length early and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary.

Shreyas Iyer comes to the crease now for India. Meanwhile, Kagiso Rabada gets ready for his first spell.

Kagiso Rabada to Ruturaj Gaikwad, Oh, how close was that? Top delivery from Kagiso Rabada, on a perfect length, on off and just nipping back in off the surface. Gaikwad looks to loft it over mid on from deep inside the crease but gets beaten on the inside edge as the ball goes a couple of inches over the middle stump.

Kagiso Rabada to Ruturaj Gaikwad, On a good length, over middle this time. Ruturaj Gaikwad stays inside the crease and works it towards square leg.

Kagiso Rabada to Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rabada starts off with a good length ball around off. Gaikwad pushes it off the back foot towards mid on.

Lungi Ngidi to Ishan Kishan, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Gem of a delivery from Lungi Ngidi and he has sent the dangerman back to the pavilion. Ngidi comes from around the wicket and serves it very full, angling into off. Ishan Kishan looks to drive but there is absolutely no pace on the ball. Kishan is beaten all ends up and plays all around it. The ball sneaks beneath the willow and crashes into off stump. South Africa have the early breakthrough!

Lungi Ngidi to Ishan Kishan, WIDE! Swing and a miss! Good length, down the leg side, Kishan looks to pull it behind square but misses. A wide is called.
