licks

Suryakumar Yadav: We were looking to bat first. The wicket looks good, there won't be dew and we want to put runs on the board. It (the stadium) almost feels full.

the ball kisses the glove on the way and swirls towards de Kock, who manages to hang on. Abhishek Sharma c de Kock b Corbin Bosch 34

ump down

dropped! But it is umpire Rohan Pandit who is wriggling in pain. Full pitcher around off, Samson backs away and drills it straight back, Ferreira tries to take it with both hands but the ball bursts through his hands and deflects onto Rohan Pandit's knee. He walked away and went down while the ball rolls to long-on

The South African physio was the first to come out, the Indian physio follows him. They are both checking on him. Some magic spray is being applied. Harshit is also there with some fluids. The fourth umpire is also present. Rohan Pandit slowly gets onto his feet.

South Africa off to a fast start.

De Kock 41*

Bumrah to de Kock, out Caught&Bowled!! Soft dismissal! The partnership is broken. de Kock is in disbelief and stands there looking at Bumrah. But has to make the long walk back. This is why Bumrah is so special! India under pressure, runs leaking from both ends and he comes back to pick a wicket. Slower ball, dips on de Kock and he chips it straight back, Bumrah reacts well to try and take it with both hands, the ball gets lodged in his body and he clings on.
