Full commentary
That's all from our side. Stay safe and see you soon.
Lizelle Lee is the Player of the Match.
Lee: I am very happy with my performance but the credit should go to the bowlers. I thought India could have posted 300. A lot of my dismissals over my career have been caught, so I am working on keeping the ball along the ground.
Laura Wolvaardt: Incredible game to have my first game as captain. The way Lee batted was incredible to watch. I really enjoy batting with her and takes pressure off me as she is such an explosive batter.
Mithali Raj: We could have done better with the bat. We need to work on our bowling too. Our bowlers were bowling on both sides of the wicket. But credit to Lee. She played a brilliant innings. Having a fielding coach definitely helps, those are the things that make the difference.
4.30pm And it has been called off. South Africa have won by six runs, via the DLS method. They are now leading the five-match series by 2-1. The star of the match was Lizelle Lee, whose brilliant hundred always kept South Africa in the game, even when they lost Mignon du Preez and Marizanne Kapp in quick succession during the batting powerplay. To put her knock in perspective, there have been only three higher individual scores in an ODI chase and two of them belong to peerless Meg Lanning.
Pratik Wankhade: "Instead of H Kaur, previous over should have been bowled by regular bowler, if we had restricted them for four runs in that over we would have been ahead in the game, not so good captaincy from Mithali."
4.22pm The rain seems to have got heavier.
James Chitamba: "This Innings from Lizelle is one of the best Women ODI innings against a quality side like India. It's probably a match-winning-player-of-the-match knock!"
4.07pm The umpires have asked for the covers to be brought on. South Africa are five ahead of the DLS target (six ahead of the par score) at this stage.
Sufiyan: "Whosoever wins, Lee should be Player of the Match for her mind-boggling performance." -- And it's the third-highest individual score for a South Africa batter

A bit of drizzle now and the umpires are having a chat. Mithali has a paper in her hand, I think that's DLS chart. And South Africa are ahead by five runs as per that but we will continue for now
