Miller has been on the lookout for boundaries from the moment he stepped foot on the crease today but Kuldeep Yadav has been making the ball turn pretty good today. Another super economical over from him with just a single conceded. The Proteas are 146/4 after 28 overs.
Miller picks up from where he left in the T20I series. Three boundaries in each of the three overs he has batted so far. 20 off 13 deliveries now. That last maximum off Ravi Bishnoi was special. Lofted over mid off. After 25 overs, South Africa are 134/4.
David Miller gets off the mark with a boundary, he's not going to miss out on full trackers like the one Bishnoi provided him with. After 23 overs, South Africa are 116/4.
Quinton de Kock (48) has to walk back following an unsuccessful attempt at reverse sweep that ends up with a lbw dismissal. South Africa, 110/4.
Four overs bowled, 17 runs conceded, one wicket taken. Kuldeep Yadav has looked good in the middle today. That perfect dismissal of Aiden Markram and its setup showed how he has kept the length tight while flowing with his line. After 22 overs, South Africa are 108/3.
The first 10 overs brought no success for India in terms of the wickets but they were crucial in holding South Africa from taking the advantage by scoring big early on. The next 10 overs have extended on that with three wickets. After 20 overs, the Proteas are 92/3.

The three wickets have come off inside four overs. South Africa in desperate need of a partnership at the moment. After 18 overs, the score is 80/3.

What a beautiful bowl, perfect off cutter from a left armer to a right hander. Pitches outside off and cuts in to affect the top of off stump. SA, 71/3 after 16 overs.

Another one for Thakur. Scrambled seam deceives the Proteas skipper and affects the off stump. After 15 overs, SA are 70/2.
Shardul Thakur provides India with their first breakthrough. Malan caught by Shreyas Iyer. South Africa 49/1 after 12.1 overs.
Ravi Bishnoi's first over in ODI for India and Quinton de Kock went after him on ball 1. Picks the googly outside off and just places it well past Shikhar Dhawan at first slip. Gets another boundary a delivery later as he stays low to swat it on the leg side for four. After 10 overs, South Africa are 41/0.
South Africa openers would perhaps feel a bit itchy at the moment. Not exactly the powerplay they would've expected but hey, they are still in the middle at the end of it. Barring not having been able to take a wicket, this has been a good start with the new ball for Mohammed Siraj and Avesh Khan. 28/0 after eight overs.
Another good couple of overs from India's new ball bowlers. Mohammed Siraj and Avesh Khan have kept the Proteas openers at bay, but they haven't found a breakthrough yet. The boundaries have come few and far in between the dot balls. After six overs, South Africa are 20/0.
10 dot balls in the third and fourth over for India. Just the one boundary for South Africa. Siraj finding some movement early on and Janneman Malan seems unsure of his footings early on. After four overs, SA are 13/0.
De Kock with a standstill punch, beats mid off, brings up the first boundary of the innings for South Africa. 8/0 after two overs.
Second ball of the innings and Siraj thought he had Janneman Malan trapped leg before wicket. No interest from the umpire and India went for a review. Umpire's call. Malan would have been back in the pavilion had the first umpire's nodded to Siraj's appeal. But he survives and on we move. 2/0 after one over.
Janneman Malan and Quinton de Kock take centre stage. Mohammed Siraj has the new ball. First ball of the innings in Lucknow.
Temba Bavuma: 'We would have liked to bowl first as well. We have a job to do with the bat and we need to adapt accordingly after the first few overs. You gotta be able to adapt to different formats quickly and we still want to keep those T20 skills in check. Every game for us is a big opportunity.'
