38.5 to F du Plessis, Faf looks to hit the repeat button, this time he finds short third man. Faf shuffles across off again, this time his balance is foiled and he topples over.. He skewers it in the air, popping a catch to short third man running back. 205/3
46.4 to JP Duminy, Duminy holes out to long-on. Full and on middle, right in the hitting zone. Duminy goes for a loft... Raina runs in, dives forward and snaps it up. Dhawan pats Raina on the back. 241/6
1004114.10343010
13.3 to DA Miller, Harbhajan strikes, Rahane pouches it at backward point. Harbhajan tosses this up generously outside off, some turn as well, Miller has a crack at it but his bat twists and he slices it off the outside half of the bat as Rahane moves to his right, tumbles forward to snaffle it. The strong opening stand has been broken. Who will come in at No.3?. 72/1

18.4 to HM Amla, Dhoni takes the bails off in a flash. Amla can't drag his back foot back in time. The spinners have slowed the visitors down. Flatter at 94.6ks and spins away, Amla loses his balance as he aims to drive it through the off side. He does not connect, neither can he pull his back foot in time. The TV umpire is called in and Amla departs. 87/2
905115.66205000
40.1 to AB de Villiers, Axar gets AB with an arm ball. Two wickets in two balls for India. Big, big wicket this. Arrows in, as AB goes back for a cut, he gets some bat on the attempted cut, chopping it towards point. The umpire Dar thinks it was pad first and raises his finger. Replays show that it was pad first indeed and hit in front of middle.. 210/5

10.4 to S Dhawan, taken this time! Pressure has built and built into a wicket. And both fielders responsible for the first two dropped chances combine to remove Dhawan. Good length again outside off, Dhawan advances and tries to drive through the off side but the ball may have moved away again just enough. Thick outside edge and well taken by AB diving to his left.. 41/1
41.5 to MS Dhoni, gone! What a wicket, huge huge stuff. Short ball outside off, Dhoni looks to dab that over short third man but the ball lobs up to Steyn at short third man. takes an easy catch and this match gets interesting. 193/3
45.1 to V Kohli, Morkel wins this moment. What a wicket this is. Is this the defining moment? Short on leg and Kohli can only heave the ball in the air to Miller at deep midwicket who takes a comfortable catch. This line, length and field placement has worked wonders so far. Stalled Kohli throughout the second part of his innings. Take a bow, Russell Domingo and AB de Villiers. 216/5
45.2 to AM Rahane, repeat delivery. Repeat shot. Repeat dismissal. Miller takes this low to the ground, that being the only difference. Banged in short again, Rahane advances and slogs this in the air to deep midwicket. Are these percentage shots? With this consistent length, the batsmen have been found out playing poor shots.. 216/6
804615.75254030
23.1 to RG Sharma, Rohit falls! Excellent improvisation there from JP. Sees Rohit coming down and bowls that a touch shorter. Rohit is left feeling for that and can only pat the ball back to JP who dives low and holds on to a good catch. He is pumped too.. 113/2
1005115.10294100
43.3 to SK Raina, taken! Not a great shot from Raine with Kohli going strong from the other end. Googly outside off, Raina looks to drive over the man at long-off but doesn't get all of it. Lands down Miller's throat at long-off. A single would have been a good result but he wanted more. One crucial moment lost by Raina and India. 206/4
