Axar Patel to Keshav Maharaj
Excellent review! Axar Patel slides this one in from a higher and wider trajectory, angling it into the off stump. Keshav Maharaj looks to go on the back foot and cut but the ball flicks the flap of the front pad and then goes off the bat towards cover. There is a huge appeal and it is given! Maharaj does review it. It's clearly pad first and Ball Tracking shows the impact as outside the line of off stump and Maharaj survives. The onfield decision is reversed.

Arshdeep Singh to Lizaad Williams
OUT! LBW! Arshdeep Singh gets his fourth! He bowls an inswinging full toss on the pads. Lizaad Williams is rapped in front of the stumps as he tries to work it leg side. The umpire has given it out but South Africa has reviewed it. The big screen shows a clear gap between the bat and ball and the Ball Tracing confirms that the wickets are hitting. The decision his upheld and it was a desperate review for South Africa. Just one more wicket is needed for India to clinch a historic win. Arshdeep Singh is on a hat-trick also as he had taken a wicket off the last ball in his previous over.

Avesh Khan to Beuran Hendricks
OUT! CAUGHT! And India take the series! India pulls off a historic win at this venue as Avesh Khan seals the deal. He bowls it on length and around middle. Beuran Hendricks wanted to scoop it over the keeper and he got into the position very early on. However, he didn't get enough bat on it and ended up lobbing it up to short third. Sanju Samson takes a very easy catch and South Africa are bowled out for 218 at a venue they were expected to be strong at and India win by 78 runs.
