IND vs SA Ball by Ball Commentary

OUT! TAKEN! My word, that is an unbelievable catch from Marco Jansen, and if that does not sum up this series for South Africa, then nothing else can. Keshav Maharaj loops it up, full and on middle, Mohammed Siraj gets his front leg out of the way, and lofts it nicely over the bowler's head. It goes miles in the air, but Jansen from mid on runs backwards and keeps his eyes on the ball. He stretches out his left hand and grabs a stunner tumbling onto the ground. Siraj cannot believe it, nor can Temba Bavuma. All the Proteas players run towards Jansen, and the celebration begins for them. SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 408 RUNS AND TAKE THE SERIES 2-0.

He appeals for it and it has been sent upstairs. The replay shows that Siraj's back foot did go in the air but he gets it down in time.

OUT! STUMPED! Keshav Maharaj joins the party finally. He tosses it up, full and around off, turns in sharply. Ravindra Jadeja skips down the track to slog it across the line but gets nowhere near the pitch of the ball. He gets beaten on the flight and misses as it goes behind, where Kyle Verreynne collects it and breaks the stumps. The third umpire is called in and the replay shows that Jadeja is well short of his crease. He departs for a gritty 54 off 87, and India are nine down now. South Africa can see the finishing line now.

The ball spins and lobs up off the gloves, and the keeper, Kyle Verreynne, moves forward to take a dolly. Reddy walks back for a duck and India are 138/8 now. South Africa just 2 wickets away from the win now.

Flat and full, outside off, Jadeja reaches out for a reverse sweep but the ball bounces and beats the top edge.

It grazed his ribs on its way through to the keeper, but flying past his right, down leg. The batters crossed twice and it is called byes, but that clearly deflected off the batter. Surely the umpire didn't spot that one.

Harmer lands it on a good length, and gets sharp turn and bounce from the deck. Washington Sundar gets in a bit of a tangle. He is neither on the front foot nor committed on the back foot, and ends up poking tamely at it away from his body. Outside edges and it goes real quick to the right of the first slip fielder. Despite very little time frame to react, Aiden Markram shows excellent reflexes and takes a fine catch to his right. Washington Sundar departs on 16 (44) and India are 130/7.
