On to the 6th over now and Parnell in to bowl this one. Brilliant fielding by Rabada near the boundary to save a couple of runs. Kohli finally off the mark in this over. IND 17/1 after 6 overs
Parnell in to bowl the 4th over and another huge shout of LBW on Rahul but South Africa decides against the review. Just 1 from this over. IND 12/1 after 4 overs
AAAANNNDD GONE!!! Rohit Sharma keeps blowing hot and cold as he nicks a Rabada ball, which has been caught by de Kock in behind. IND 9/1 after 2.2 overs
Parnell bowls the 2nd over and starts with two wides. The second ball is driven by Rahul for a four. Huge shout for LBW and a review is taken. That's a review wasted. IND 9/0 after 2 overs.
Rahul and Rohit are at the crease. Rahul is on strike. Rabada will open the attack. 2 dots to start. South Africa won't mind at all. Maiden over to start. IND 0/0 after 1 over
India will be pretty happy with their bowling performance after restricting South Africa to a measly 106/8 after 20 overs. South Africa, meanwhile, wil hope to strike early if they want to have any chance in this match.
