He becomes the only second bowler after Arshdeep Singh to achieve this feat. Okay, hang on, the third umpire is checking whether Bumrah has overstepped or not. Brevis is already into the dugout, and it looked like a touch-and-go to be very honest, but it is deemed a fair delivery by the third umpire.

The ball comes back in sharply as Jansen looks to rock back and punch it through the off side. However, he is beaten all ends up and the ball goes on to hit the top of off stump. Jansen departs after a couple of lusty blows and South Africa are now 6 down for just 68 runs.

SIX! Jansen has made that look so easy. Not all that short and on off and middle, Marco Jansen simply rocks back and short-arm jabs it cleanly over cow corner for another biggie.

This is bowled short and a tad outside off, there to be hit as this one goes straight on. Donovan Ferreira looks to cut hard and gets undone by the slight extra bounce on offer.

OUT! TAKEN! Arshdeep Singh continues to weave his magic inside the Powerplay. On a back of a length, slightly nipping back into the batter. Tristan Stubbs drags the bat in front to push it straight, and the ball goes off something towards the keeper. It dips low in front of Jitesh, but the keeper dives forward to gather it in his mitts. But has Stubbs even nicked it? Or has Jitesh taken it cleanly? Too many questions. The Indians are celebrating but Stubbs is going nowhere. The umpire shakes his head on the appeal for caught behind, and Suryakumar Yadav has sent it upstairs for a review. There is a clear spike when the ball is next to the inside edge on the UltraEdge. The ball also grazes Stubbs' elbow on its way after that. Now, the third umpire checks the legality of the catch and confirms that Jitesh Sharma has just managed to scoop the ball cleanly before the grass. Tristan Stubbs has to walk off. 14 (9) for him and the South Africans lose their second wicket with just 16 on the board.

Shivam Dube with a bit of leap, does catch the ball, but gets off-balanced in the process and realizing that he is going beyond the ropes, he shows good awareness to pop the ball into the playing area, before landing inside the ropes. The replays roll in and confirm that Dube has saved a few runs here. A single taken.
