Kagiso Rabada to Virat Kohli
OUT! RUN OUT! Another one bites the dust for India and that one was a bit unnecessary. Kagiso Rabada bowls this one on a good length on off stump, Kohli gets on the front foot and punches it through the big gap at covers. After a second or so, Kohli calls for the run as he thinks there's a possibility of two. Dean Elgar is the one who chases it down and is quick to get to the ball. Kohli is quick to get back for the second run but Jasprit Bumrah is s.truggling and he should have sent Kohli back. The throw at the bowler's end is a bit wide but KG does well to collect the ball and dsilodge the bails. Bumrah isn't even in the picture and he isn't happy either.

Kagiso Rabada to Virat Kohli

Kagiso Rabada to Virat Kohli
FOUR! That's placed nicely! Back of a length around the off stump channel, Virat Kohli waits for the ball and guides it quite late off the back foot and pierces the gully and the third slip fielder for a boundary. That is some quality shot.

Kagiso Rabada to Virat Kohli
Short and outside off, Virat Kohli advances down the track to pull but misses the whole of it. Siraj calls for a quick single but VK sends him back as Kyle Verreynne does well behind the wicket and throws the ball back to Rabada. A good call there by Virat.

Nandre Burger to Mohammed Siraj
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Excellent review and South Africa are now just one wicket away from victory. A nasty delivery this from Nandre Burger as he bangs a short bumper over off and this one angles in sharply staying a touch low as well. Mohammed Siraj looks to duck but is taken aback and the ball hits the helmet before Kyle Verreynne gobbles it up behind the stumps. There is a half-hearted appeal for caught behind and it seemed like the ball just grazed the helmet of Mohammed Siraj who is down on the deck. South Africa do take the review and why not with just two wickets remaining. The physio comes out but UltraEdge shows that the ball went off the right thumb before it took the helmet and Burger has his fourth wicket.

Nandre Burger to Prasidh Krishna
Peach of a delivery that! Fuller and on the leg stump, Prasidh Krishna plays and misses and gets hit on the lower half of his pad. A big appeal from the keeper but the umpire turns it down.

Marco Jansen to Virat Kohli
OUT! TAKEN! Wow, what a catch to end it all and fittingly it is Kagiso Rabada who takes it. Marco Jansen comes in from around the stumps and digs it in short over the stumps. Virat Kohli dances down the track and flat-bats it up and over the bowler's head without great timing. KG races across to his left from long on and takes a fine tumbling catch on the run with both hands. Jansen ends with a third wicket and the Proteas are absolutely pumped up. SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY AN INNINGS AND 32 RUNS!
