Keshav Maharaj to Mohammed Siraj, no run
OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Jubilation for South Africa. Disappointment for India on home soil in the longest format. Floated up around off from round the wicket. Siraj lunges forward to defend but the ball grips and turns, catching the outside edge. It dips low towards Aiden Markram at the first slip, but he maintains his cool and takes it low to his left. Keshav Maharaj sprints across the park, and all the South African players are cock a hoop, and why not, as they have defeated India in Test cricket, in India, after 15 long years. SOUTH AFRICA BEAT INDIA BY 30 RUNS!
Keshav Maharaj to Axar Patel, no run
OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND GONE! Keshav Maharaj has the final laugh and the gamble to take the attack on Maharaj does not pay off for Axar this time around. Keshav drops it full again, but slows it a bit through the air cunningly. It spins in from middle and Axar chances his arm once again, but goes through the shot a bit too early. The ball is skied up off the top edge and hangs up and over mid-wicket. Temba Bavuma from the inner ring backtracks it and takes a fine catch under pressure. Axar Patel departs on 26 (17) and India are 93/8. South Africa are just 1 wicket away from a historic win.
Keshav Maharaj to Axar Patel, 6 runs
SIX! Goes all the way! This is some sensational batting from Axar Patel. Keshav bowls it a bit too full, on middle and leg. Axar Patel gets the ball into the slot and tonks it over wide long on for a cracking six.

Sharp turn into the batter, on a length. Axar Patel is rushed onto the back foot, and is cramped up for room, but manages to fend it to point.
Keshav Maharaj to Axar Patel, 6 runs
SIX! CLEAN STRIKE! Maharaj drops full and it turns into the batter, Axar Patel picks the length in a trice and slogs it powerfully over deep square leg for a huge six. It has gone a few rows back.
Keshav Maharaj to Axar Patel, 4 runs
FOUR! Dear me! Ryan Rickelton just didn't pick it up and a boundary for India after 76 balls, as per Dale Steyn on air. Dropped fuller by Keshav, on middle. Axar Patel gets down on a knee but mistimes the slog sweep to deep mid-wicket. However, Ryan Rickelton stationed in the deep, initially moves to his right, misjudging the trajectory and by the time he could amend himself, the ball races into the fence. Keshav hurls a mouthful in frustration as well.
Simon Harmer to Jasprit Bumrah, no run
Full, on off, knocked to the bowler's left.
Simon Harmer to Jasprit Bumrah, no run

Simon Harmer to Kuldeep Yadav, no run
OUT! LBW! Number 4 for Simon Harmer. He delivers it on a fractionally fuller length and gets a good bit of bounce and turn from middle. Kuldeep Yadav is drawn forward to defend but plays inside the line as the ball turns right across the face of the bat to crash on the back thigh. A big appeal for LBW and up goes the index finger. This looks dead straight, but Kuldeep has gone upstairs to review it. UltraEdge shows nothing and the Ball Tracking presents three reds. Trapped in front. Kuldeep is gone on 1 (13) and India are really on the cusp of a stinging defeat as they are 77/7, needing another 47 runs to win.

Simon Harmer to Kuldeep Yadav, no run

Simon Harmer to Kuldeep Yadav, no run
A big appeal for LBW, but the umpire is unmoved. He may have just jammed down on its way. Yes, just about managed to get a bat on it, did Kuldeep. Was a yorker into the stumps, drifting further in. Kuldeep tapped the front foot out to block, and just got a thick inside edge onto the front pad before the ball rolled to the leg side. Well, well, the UltraEdge shows a spike to suggest that the ball brushed the right boot first before it went to hit the bat but at the same time, the bat was jammed onto the turf. Did that result in the spike?

Aiden Markram to Washington Sundar, no run
OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Markram continues to be the golden arm in this South African outfit. He drops it full and it dips on the batter, around off. It lands and spins away as Sundar gets on the front foot to defend. Only manages to get off the outside edge, near the shoulder of the bat. The ball carries low to the front-left of Simon Harmer, who bends low and takes a good reaction catch at first slip. A similar kind of dismissal for Sundar as in the first inning. Washington Sundar departs after a fighting knock of 31 off 92 balls and India are pegged back to 72/6, needing 52 more runs.

OUT! LBW! Harmer continues to weave his magic and is pumped up to bits. Simon drifts one into the batter, and bowls it a bit too full in length. Ravindra Jadeja gets on the front foot to defend, but is struck on the full on his boot. A huge, confident appeal for LBW and the umpire obliges. However, Jadeja is a bit perplexed and opts for a review straight away. Has it hit Jadeja outside the line? UltraEdge shows that the ball has struck flush on the boot. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds and India lose another wicket. Ravindra Jadeja walks back for 18 (26) and India are 64/5, needing another 60 runs to win.

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! This was coming. Rishabh Pant was all at sea in the battle against Simon Harmer and it is the Proteas off-spinner who has come up trumps.

Pant looks to firm the drive down the ground but ends up spooning it back towards Harmer, who makes no mistake. Simon roars in delight and this is a massive scalp for South Africa.

Corbin Bosch in the deep runs to his left and fails to get there in time. Bosch collects it on the bounce. A single taken. The commentators on air discuss that Bosch could have gone for the catch as the ball was in the air for a long, long time. Instead, he ran sideways to cut it off. Maybe he didn't quite judge the trajectory properly.

The ball drops on him and bounces over the bat. It lobs off the forearm and Tony de Zorzi takes it with ease. The UltraEdge confirms that there is no bat or glove involved.

OUT! CAUGHT! An innocuous delivery but it still fetches Simon Harmer a wicket. South Africa will take it both hands. Dhruv Jurel stands there in disbelief. A real drag down from Harmer, on middle. Jurel's eyes light up and he swivels in the crease for the pull. The ball comes on a lot slower than he expected. He is done with the bat swing when the ball catches the toe-end of the blade. It goes straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket, where Corbin Bosch takes a reverse cup catch around his chest. Jurel falls for 13 (34). India are effectively 33/4, needing 91 more runs to win.
