India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20, IND vs SA: An incident like this in galli cricket normally meant not just the end of the match but the imminent emptying of the playing area before the angry owner of the window can even come to said window and identify the players. Here though, it is almost a souvenir from some brilliant big hitting from Rinku Singh. One of his two sixes made an absolute mess of the window of the commentators' box.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20, IND vs SA: Not promising sights at all. It is absolutely pouring in Gqeberha and there are dark, dark clouds everywhere. We await further updates.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20, IND vs SA: This game has had a bit of everything thus far. India started off to a stinker with their openers falling for ducks. SKY then anchored India's recovery. He first put up a 49-run stand for the third wicket with Tilak Varma off 24 balls and then put up 70 for the fourth with Rinku Singh off just 48 balls before falling for 56 off 36.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20, IND vs SA: Tilak had to stop Williams as he started to bowl the second ball of the fifth over as the ground staff was moving around to try and get to the covers. They do so after the ball is bowled. There is a slight drizzle coming down now. Hope it passes away quickly as it has been absorbing cricket action already. SKY is on 14 off six, Varma on 22 off 14 at the end of the fourth over

IND vs SA Live Score: India 40/2 in 4 overs

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20, IND vs SA: There is the Supla! Coetzee sends in the fifth delivery on a length on SKY's pads, the Indian captain gets across and flicks it effortlessly.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20, IND vs SA: Jansen erring with his line in this over and Varma has made him pay. A four off the third ball and then another off the last. The buzzer then goes off which means Jansen has overstepped, he attempts a yorker on the pads that goes awry and Varma flicks it past deep backward square leg. 19 runs off that over and Markram brings in Gerald Coetzee for the fourth over, possibly so Lizaard Williams can replace Jansen at the other end.

IND vs SA Live Score: India 25/2 in 3 overs

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20, IND vs SA: Jansen strays onto Varma's pads first ball of the third and the latter flicks it away for a six. That is the first boundary of the Indian innings.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20, IND vs SA: A bit of an early siege here for India to deal with. Jansen bowled a wide after that wicket and when he bowled that one again, Tilak Varma cut hard. Yet again it darted to Miller's left but this time, he couldn't hold on.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20, IND vs SA: Wow, Jaiswal cuts the third ball from Jansen hard. It comes right off the middle of the bat to the left of point where Miller has razor sharp reactions and takes the catch. A three-ball duck for the opener, what a start for the hosts.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20, IND vs SA: Pommie Mbangwa says that square boundaries are 64m and 67m, straight hit is 77m. Average bounce in South Africa is 8cm more than what it is in India, but here at St George's Park it's not so much so India will be comfortable here. Lots of grass on the pitch today so that it can hold the surface together. Many batters complain about ball hitting bottom of the bat, but I don't think they need to worry about it today

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20, IND vs SA: Gill says that this is a very important series, especially considering there aren't many T20Is to play before the T20 World Cup. He himself has played just 11 T20Is and so is looking to gain more international experience. "Just want to be in a good mental space, then it's just about executing the shots, especially in this format. [Pressure] At the end of the day, it's all about bat and ball. It's all about playing for the team. We have such as strong batting lineup, gives freedom for all to play the game," he said.
