Lutho Sipamla to Hardik Pandya
DROPPED! A massive moment in this game! Hard length and on middle, Hardik Pandya clears his front leg away to loft it down the ground but the ball gets a bit big on him. He miscues it high in the air towards long on, where Marco Jansen runs forward and slides to grab it but spills it out. Two taken. Hardik Pandya gets a life here.

Lutho Sipamla to Hardik Pandya
OUT! TAKEN! Lutho Sipamla gets his man this time. Marco Jansen will be a relieved man as his drop does not cost South Africa much here. This is full and angling into the pads. Hardik Pandya stays deep and looks to whip it away but gets it from the toe-end of his bat. He does not get the elevation and the ball flies flat towards deep mid-wicket, where Dewald Brevis makes no mistake. Pandya walks back for a scratchy 20 off 23, and India lose half their side now.

Ottneil Baartman to Jitesh Sharma
Oh, my! The bail lit up but did not fall. On a back of a length, at the sticks, Sharma has a heave across the line and the ball sneaks under the blade. The ball clips the top of the off pole and the bail pops up a bit in the groove but does not come off.

Ottneil Baartman to Jitesh Sharma
SIX! Nicely done! Full toss, down leg, Jitesh Sharma gets low and picks it up off the pads. Sends it way over deep backward square leg for a six.

Ottneil Baartman to Jitesh Sharma
FOUR! Oh, dear! George Linde has badly misjudged it. On a short of a length, outside off, Jitesh hangs back and slices it to the right of deep point. Linde is quick across the turf to his right and ends up overrunning the ball. The ball drops on the ground and spins away to beat him on his left as it trickles into the fence.

Marco Jansen to Tilak Varma
Leg bye! Keeps it on the slower side, on a length, slanting into the pads. Varma has a swipe across the line but fails to lay any bat on it. A leg bye is taken as the ball goes behind off the pads on the leg side.

Marco Jansen to Jitesh Sharma
Two byes! Does not offer much pace, on a back of a length, outside off, Jitesh walks across and swivels for the pull but misses. The ball goes on the bounce towards Quinton de Kock, who moves to his right but fails to gather it cleanly. The ball gets parried away to his right and the batters set off to sneak in a bye. De Kock has a shy at the bowling end but misses. The ball dribbles towards long on and the batters take one more run.

Marco Jansen to Jitesh Sharma
On a shortish length again, on off, Jitesh drags the pull and mistimes it in the vacant mid-wicket region, which allows him to come back for the second.

Marco Jansen to Jitesh Sharma
A sharp and quick short ball, angling across, Jitesh Sharma swings across for the pull but the ball climbs onto him and flies past the blade. Just 6 runs off Jansen's final over. Marco finishes with figures of 4-0-25-2. India need 72 runs from the final 3 overs.

Lutho Sipamla to Tilak Varma
Good effort in the field! Going away, on a length, Tilak is early into the shot and drags it between deep mid-wicket and long on. Dewald Brevis covers good ground to his right at deep mid-wicket and dives to push the ball towards the converging long on fielder. Saves a couple of runs for his side.

Lutho Sipamla to Jitesh Sharma
SIX! Into the stands! Sipamla goes short but fails to get it high enough to trouble the batter, over off. Sharma picks the slower one and pivots to pull it over deep square leg for a six. 15 runs off the over so far.

Lutho Sipamla to Jitesh Sharma
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Lutho Sipamla has his man! Pace on, full and at the sticks, Jitesh Sharma stays deep in the crease and swings across the line. Gets a leading edge that goes a long way up between short third and backward point. Ottneil Baartman moves to his right from short third and George Linde also converges. Good communication from the two men there as Linde leaves it for Baartman. Ottneil settles under the skier and takes a fine catch.

Ottneil Baartman to Shivam Dube
OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Ottneil Baartman strikes on his return to the attack. Skidding through, on a length with an upright seam, Dube hangs on the back foot and looks to drag it away on the leg side. The ball sneaks under the angled bat to crash into the top of the off pole.

Ottneil Baartman to Arshdeep Singh
OUT! TAKEN! A tame dismissal and Ottneil Baartman's night continues to get better. Baartman switches to around the wicket and bashes the hard length, outside off. Singh stays leg side of the ball and tries to glide it away with a horizontal bat. Ends up steering it straight into the hands of David Miller at backward point, who makes no mistake.

Ottneil Baartman to Varun Chakaravarthy
A quick, short ball around the left shoulder, Varun Chakaravarthy swivels and hooks it down to deep fine leg. Tilak Varma refuses the single.

Ottneil Baartman to Varun Chakaravarthy
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Three wickets in the over for Ottneil Baartman to cap off a good day at the office. Fuller and at the sticks, Chakaravarthy clears the front leg and swings to go down the ground. Gets the height but not the distance. It is skied towards long on, where Aiden Markram settles under the skier and takes the catch close to his chest.

Lungi Ngidi to Tilak Varma
OUT! CAUGHT! South Africa complete a dominant win. A scrambled seam delivery, on a good length, around the off pole. Tilak clears the front leg and swings through the line. Fails to get hold of it and the ball goes only as far as long on, where Aiden Markram does the rest. The Proteas win by 51 runs to draw level in the series.
