India won the toss and will bat

India have won the toss and have opted to bat

In reply to Narper

India won the toss but the Indians so loud we cant hear what Rohit said. Lol. Ill wait and find out.

Just saw Cherri all dressed up. Yessssss!

Rohit and Kohli are at the crease.
Rohit is on strike.
Marco Jansen will open the attack

0.1
Marco Jansen to Rohit, 1 run, to mid-wicket

0.2
Marco Jansen to Kohli, FOUR, BEAUTIFUL! Pitched up full and slanting across outside off, Kohli pressed forward and opened the face of the bat to cream the drive through point, sublime timing and placement

0.3
Marco Jansen to Kohli, FOUR, you could never tell he's been short of runs!

0.4
Marco Jansen to Kohli, 2 runs, to sweeper cover

0.6
Marco Jansen to Kohli, FOUR, more runs for Kohli! Marco Jansen pitches it right up on off-stump again, Kohli prods forward and just pushes it back down the ground gently, all timing and it beats Nortje who gives it a long chase from long-on, the slide wasn't enough to reel it back in, superb start for India and Kohli

1.1
Maharaj to Rohit, FOUR, to third man a little streaky but four nonetheless! Length delivery on off-stump, Rohit pressed back looking to cut, bit of extra bounce and it got a little big on him before taking a thick outside edge, flew past first slip and ran down to the third man ropes

1.2
Maharaj to Rohit, FOUR, to the third man ropes again but very intentional this time!

1.4
Maharaj to Rohit, out Caught by Klaasen!! Maharaj gets his man! Indian lose an early wicket and it's the in-form Rohit Sharma! This is exactly what South Africa would've wanted! Tossed up full on off-stump, Rohit leant across and swept it hard, timed it well but did not keep it down and it went straight to Klaasen at backward square leg. He moved to his left and took it fairly low, good catch and South Africa are absolutely delighted. Things have gone to plan

Rohit c Klaasen b Maharaj 9(5) [4s-2]

IND 23/1 (1.4) CRR: 13.8

Sharma gawn
23/1

early punches exchanged

1 all

Pant gawn now. Quack quack
23/2

South Africa think they've got another one, umpires are checking for a fair catch

1.6
Maharaj to Pant, out Caught by de Kock!! Two in the over for Maharaj! Pant had a sheepish look on his face as soon as South Africa went up in appeal and he's gone for a duck! Dream start for South Africa, they've got rid of Pant as well. This was floated up full just outside off, Pant leant in looking to sweep and ended up taking it on the full, it hit the cue end of the bat and lobbed up, simple catch for QDK as it looped over him and landed just behind the stumps. The sweep has led to the downfall of both Rohit and Pant now

Maharaj to Kohli, 2 runs, excellent work from Miller in the deep, Tossed up full outside off, Kohli got to the pitch of the ball and crunched it through extra cover, desperate dive from Miller who sprinted across from long-off, kept it down to two

3.4
Maharaj to Kohli, FOUR, Miller won't stop this one! In fact he doesn't even get close, length delivery outside off, width on offer and Kohli slapped it away though to the extra cover ropes, much wider of Miller this time

Markram to Axar, SIX, just over the man! Tossed up full on middle, Axar leant in and went for a slog-sweep across the line, didn't time it all that well but it just about cleared Klaasen at deep mid-wicket

In reply to Narper

Massive wicket.

Rabada to Kohli, 2 runs, yorker at the toes

17.3

The ball went out of the ground and needs to be replaced

Kohli gone wild!

Oops, sorry.

Marco Polo is a crappy bowler. Just got lucky against the Pompies.

18.5
Marco Jansen to Kohli, out Caught by Rabada!! Miscued in the air this time and the catch is taken! Kohli falls! Short of length on off, slower one, and he doesn't get hold of it as he goes for the pull shot. Probably gets it high on the bat and it goes only as far as long-on

Reeza Hendricks and de Kock are at the crease.

Reeza Hendricks is on strike.

Arshdeep Singh will open the attack

SA bowling did not take advantage of their early breakthrough. Chose to contain rather than attack the batting.

In reply to hubert

0.6
Arshdeep Singh to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR, Arshdeep grunts as he gives width on this fullish delivery. Got the length and line wrong and he's livid with himself for releasing pressure. Reeza stays back and cuts into the ground between point and short third

Bumrah to Reeza Hendricks, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

1.3
Bumrah to Reeza Hendricks, out Bowled!! How do I play that look from Reeza! The coaches and experts often keep telling batters about Bumrah's cunning angle and how it's tough to play him with that wide angle.

Was Arshdeep his matchup plan to Markram? Was a length delivery angling across, Markram tries to drive on the rise, goes hard and it's a thick edge through to the keeper.

A low wide full toss from Hardik, Miller gets in line and heaves it through the line. Gets enough power behind it although it was off the toe-end. Flies towards long-off and was going over but Surya appears out of nowhere to pluck it out, and then juggle it up as he was going over the ropes. Steadies himself and completes the catch.
