0.4 to RR Hendricks, Confident lbw appeal. Not given. Chat on... India review. Line might be the issue, but it looked close in real time. Inswinger landed o the fuller side of length around middle and came in further. Hendricks looked to defend to mid-on, but there was a stump's gap between bat and ball. Hit under the knee-roll... And three reds!. Hitting leg stump. Arshdeep did the trio - swing away, angle away, then swing in to trap the batter in the crease. 1/1 18.3 to AK Markram, Anticlimactic end to Markram's excellent innings, he's on one knee looking at the pitch after nicking off. Seam slanted to first slip, full ball away with the angle outside off. Lofted extra cover drive on one knee was on. Like the last ball he faced, Markram got his front leg out the way to open his stance and make room. Works against him as he toes it to the keeper. Arshdeep's angle doing the trick. 113/8 See all photos
Harshit Rana	4	0	34	2	8.50	10	3	2	0	0
1.2 to Q de Kock, Similar to the Hendricks wicket but to the left hander, this time it's given! Long chat, QDK decides not to review. 134ks length ball freezes QDK's feet. He wanted to drive it straight, was a touch late and played the wrong line. Ball barged past the inside edge and hit him flush on the back leg. Umpire's call clipping leg, as per Hawk-Eye. 1/2 3.1 to D Brevis, Hard cover drive leads to a chop-on! 144ks. Full and wide, Brevis' back foot was stuck, front stride was small and straight. So there was a big gap between bat and ball. He went after it on length, misjudged the line and got a thick edge off the flowing cover drive. The leg bail flew. Harshit has 2 for 1! He leaps in delight.. 7/3 See all photos
Hardik Pandya	3	0	23	1	7.66	7	1	1	0	0
6.6 to T Stubbs, Edged, easily taken! Hardik has 100 T20I wickets. He's No. 3 after Arshdeep and Bumrah. Stubbs went outside off stump to get close to the back-of-length seam-up ball around seventh stump. Opened the bat face to try and run it through third. Ended up giving catching practice to Jitesh.. 30/4
Varun Chakravarthy	4	0	11	2	2.75	14	0	0	0	0
13.3 to D Ferreira, Stump flattened again! Through the slog sweep. Varun has 50 T20I wickets. Stumps splaying, off stump sleeps to the side. India fans hoot, SA fans look down. Was a length ball on middle and off, Ferreira committed to the front-foot slog sweep. Was too slow on the shot. Ball might've been a topspinner, more bounce than turn. 69/6 15.1 to M Jansen, Googly bamboozles Jansen. Landed on a length outside off and snaked in. Jansen left a gap between bat and pad while looking to defend to mid-off. Snuck past him. SA 77 for 7. 77/7
Shivam Dube	3	0	21	1	7.00	5	2	0	0	0
10.1 to C Bosch, Dube foxes him with a nip backer! 124ks ball flattens leg stump, it actually lands to the left - 90 degrees almost. It's stuff that pacers like doing. What Dube did is get the ball to hurry off the pitch. Length ball, wobble-seam, landed around off and came in. Bosch, flat-footed like many of his team-mates today. Looked to punch it straight, missed it. 44/5 See all photos
Kuldeep Yadav	2	0	12	2	6.00	5	0	1	0	0
19.3 to A Nortje, Charges, misses and Jitesh cleanly stumps him. Gloves don't go back with the momentum upon collecting the ball which was impressive. Was a short of length ball around sixth stump. Nortje charged straight and looked to flat-bat it. Swung below the line. 115/9 19.6 to OEG Baartman, Closes the innings last ball of the allotted 120. Wide length ball at 83ks. Floated googly. Baartman swipes across the line and the edge balloons to cover. 117/10

14.4 to SA Yadav, SKY tries to hit one in the V behind, falls in the attempt to clear fine leg. Fullish ball on middle and leg, he tried to help it with a late drive, a shot he almost always nails when in form. Not now he doesn't, and Baartman runs to the left from deep fine to take the catch.. 109/3
Marco Jansen	3	0	24	1	8.00	9	3	1	1	0
11.4 to Shubman Gill, Gill's struggle is over. Chopped on. No footwork on the length ball angling in at fourth stump. 134ks. Big gap between bat and pad, tried to run it to third. Got an inside edge onto the stumps. 92/2 See all photos

5.2 to Abhishek Sharma, Might be out... Brilliant catch by Markram. Ran back from cover, was halfway into the outfield from the ring. Called for it while tracking back, then took it to his right, fell on his backside and slid with the dew to add some style points. Was a 141ks length ball outside off that was lifted with a drive. Off the bottom-half of the bat. Bosch has a wicket off his second ball.. 60/1
Anrich Nortje	3	0	14	0	4.66	9	1	0	1	0
