Marco Jansen to Kohli, FOUR, steers it past third man and gets to his 52nd ODI hundred!
India vs South Africa, 1st ODI
52nd ODI hundred! Runs across, leaps and punches the air as the crowd goes wild! Has looked absolutely sublime today right from the moment he walked in. Back of a length outside off, Kohli opens the face and times it beautifully. No chance for the fielder at third man
Ottneil Baartman to Kohli, FOUR, hammered back down the ground as Kohli continues to turn it on! In the slot outside off, he goes hard and nails it past the non-striker

Arshdeep Singh to Nandre Burger, out Caught by Rahul!! Leaves the periscope hanging and it balloons off the edge to Rahul. Dug in short Burger sways out of the way while trying the ramp but the contact is nowhere close to what he must've desired. Straight up off the edge. Just one wicket away.
