IND vs SA: Ball stays low, but Kohli gets four

Rabada comes steaming in, but the ball stays just a tad low. Kohli gets his bat down in time and sends it behind the keeper and wide of fine leg for a boundary. India are already into the 40s in the 11th over of the day. One would say they're scoring at a decent pace - at more than 4 runs an over but 14 of those have come in extra. A few byes for fours and four no balls.

In comes Marco Jansen

Hoping to get the ball to seam nicely in to KL Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara. Meanwhile, a word on Rabada. How good has he been since his off-colour show at Centurion? And still he has managed to register terrific figures in the series -
