19.3 to HH Pandya, picks out the lone man at deep midwicket! This was a rank full toss on leg-stump, Hardik hit it flat and hard, but couldn't clear the fielder. Well held in the deep. Ahmedabad rises to applaud a fine knock from Hardik.. 220/4 | ||||||||||

5.4 to Abhishek Sharma, given out caught behind even without the keeper appealing. Bosch only half-appealed apologetically. Abhishek was looking to get inside the line and help this pull along. Abhishek reviewed straightaway, and replays suggest the ball passed very close to the glove. Let's see what ultra edge says.....well, it confirms a murmur as the ball passes glove. South Africans celebrate looking at the replay. And Abhishek has to walk back, on-field decision stays.. 63/1 12.1 to SA Yadav, Suryakumar's struggles continue! Good length ball around off stump, Suryakumar tries to lift it over the infield, down the V, but it hits the higher-part of his bat, and doesn't even clear mid off!. 115/3 | ||||||||||

9.1 to SV Samson, sharp turn to beat Samson's outside edge to crash into the stumps! Samson backed away to push it straight back past the bowler, but this gripped and spun away to comprehensively beat him. Incredible delivery.. 97/2 | ||||||||||

14.4 to DA Miller, gets a big, fat top-edge as he attempts to pull, this swirls high into the night sky but Samson calls for it straight away, has his eyes on the ball all along as it descends and takes it very nicely. With Miller go South Africa's chances of drawing level too. Or will Marco deliver another twist? . 154/6 | ||||||||||

10.2 to Q de Kock, he was brought back to deliver a wicket and Bumrah does just that! Sneaks in a yorker-length slower delivery that de Kock looks to squeeze back but ends up chipping it straight back and Bumrah somehow scrambles to hold on. This appeared to dip on de Kock. Bumrah's got magic in his fingers.. 120/2 16.1 to M Jansen, starts his third with a superb off-cutter, almost yorker-length outside off, as Jansen is beaten. India review in the hope that there may have been a faint edge on it through to Samson, but no one seems animated enough. perhaps just a mere formality. Replays however confirm this was very, very close. And guess what? Ultra edge confirms a big spike. And that means Marco is gone. What a review by India . Surely this is it for South Africa now?. 177/8 | ||||||||||

6.3 to RR Hendricks, chipped to midwicket where Dube uses every ounce of his reach to pluck a one-handed stunner moving swiftly to his left. That is a terrific catch. 12.3 to AK Markram, massive appeal for lbw and given! Markram went across a long way to try and use the pace to paddle, but umpire Virender Sharma was convinced he was out. Markram has referred this upstairs. Impact is the only question - if it was in line or just outside off. No bat or glove onto the pad. Ball tracking tell us impact was umpires call - a minuscule portion of the ball was on the stumps. So the on-field call stays.. 135/4 12.4 to D Ferreira, that is a corker from Varun! Two in two. Ferreira has to make the long walk back. He stabbed outside the line of that delivery anticipating the ball to rip away off the deck. This one drifted in, held its line and sneaked past the inside edge to crash into the stumps.. 135/5 15.2 to GF Linde, beautiful change of pace! This was nicely tossed up, it's the wrong' un as well and Linde was through with the hack even before the ball arrived. Missed it completely as the ball brushed his back pad and deflected onto the stumps. Varun mouths a few angry words, he's generally never this animated.. 163/7 | ||||||||||

11.1 to D Brevis, the slower bouncer has done the trick! Brewis looks to force the pace with the pull, but he ends up picking the lone fielder on the longest boundary. Easily taken by Washy against the ring of fire. India are back in this and how.. 122/3 | ||||||||||
