India vs South Africa Score Highlights: IND beat SA by 11 runs in run fest

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: And breath…

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: It is that man Arshdeep Singh again. He lasers it in full on the pads, Jansen seems to miss it completely and then runs a single. The umpire turns down the Indian appeal but the visitors go upstairs. It is a more confident review this time and sure enough, it is three reds. An extraordinary innings by Jansen but even the home crowd knows in Centurion that this should be the end of the South African fight.

Jansen lbw b Arshdeep Singh 54 (17)

South Africa 202/7 in 19.3 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Coetzee gets off strike first ball, the Indians appeal for LBW which the umpire turns down. SKY takes the review and it is umpire's call on impact. Arshdeep misses the wide yorker second ball, Jansen smashes it just out of reach of the deep cover fielder's dive. It was Tilak Varma there and he needs a concussion check, had hit his head quite hard on landing. That is a half-century of the highest order from Jansen. He gets to 54 in 16 balls.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Marco Jansen has feasted on Hardik Pandya and somehow kept the hosts in the game! Pandya's first ball is back of a length on leg, Jansen gives himself room and sends it over mid on for a four. Then he smashes the second ball over long leg for a six. The third is sliced up and over backward point for a four and then the batters run two. Fifth ball is back of a length outside off, Jansen sends it flying over long off for a six. He then eneds the over with a four and has raced to 48 off 15. He will be off strike for the last over but what an innings this has been. What a match this has turned into! Arshdeep Singh to bowl the last over.

South Africa 195/6 in 19 overs, need 25 to win from six balls

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Tilak Varma, the man with the century, takes the catch. Arshdeep returns for the 18th over, sends in a slower ball fourth ball that Klaasen sends straight up in the air. Varma positions himself at deep cover point and takes the catch. Surely, surely that's the game.

Klaasen c Tilak Varma b Arshdeep Singh 41 (22)

South Africa 167/6 in 17.4 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Those two biggies by Jansen keeps South Africa hanging by a thread. Bishnoi bowling the 17th over, he sends the fifth ball right in the slot for Jansen who sends it over long off for a six. He then gets under the last ball as well and smashes it over long on. Wow South Africa are somehow still in this.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: David Miller's rather tortured stay seemed to be slowly getting better but Axar has ended it with just the most beautifully timed jump at the boundary. Pandya is the bowler and he had hit his former GT teammate on an unprotected area on the side first ball. Miller got some medical assistance and then the batters ran two. Miller sent the fourth ball over fine leg for a six at long last. He seemed to have connected off the fifth ball as well but Axar at the deep midwicket boundary jumps with his hands up exactly on time to take the catch.

Miller c Ax b Pandya 18 (18)

South Africa 142/5 in 15.5 overs, need 78 to win in 25 balls

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Oh Heinrich Klaasen giving Varun a taste of what he usually makes spinners feel. Shortish delivery outside off first ball by Chakravarthy, Klaasen smashes it over long on. Action repeat second delivery, only that Klaasen hits the roof over wide long on this time, which is no mean feet at Centurion. The third ball is shortish again, Klaasen smashes it over long on again. Samson has a long chat with Chakravarthy after that, just to take off the momentum surely and it nearly works! Klaasen creams the fourth ball straight to India captain Suryakumar at cover but he puts down the catch! Then some salt on that wound for India as Klaasen lasers the fifth ball over extra cover for four. He takes a single and keeps strike, 23 runs in that 14th over. Klaasen moves to 34 off 15, Miller on nine off 11.

South Africa 126/4 in 14 overs, need 94 to win off 36 balls

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Right then, the stage is set. Chakravarthy has been held back with one over left in his spell and he has now been given the ball by Suryakumar for the 14th over. Klaasen is facing up, Miller at the other end, both players have been dismissed by Chakravarthy in the first and second T20Is. But has SKY made a mistake holding him back for two overs, letting Miller and Klaasen get their eye in? We will wait and see. The pressure is on for SA, their required rate has raced to 16.71, Klaasen is on 11 off nine, Miller on nine off 11.

South Africa 103/4 in 13 overs, need 117 to win off 42 balls

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Oh that was a genuine drag-down outside off, there to be smashed anywhere in the off side but Markram for some reason tries to drag it leg side! The ball goes straight to Ramandeep Singh at deep midwicket. Markram had hit a six off the second ball and the fifth ball and this over would have been such a good one for South Africa had it not been for that wicket.

Markram c Ramandeep Singh b Varun 29 (18)

South Africa 84/4 in 10 overs, need 136 to win from 60

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: He powered South Africa to victory in the second match but can't do much today. Big appeal for LBW off the fifth ball by Axar and the rest of the Indian players and the umpire raises his finger. Stubbs has a brief chat with Markram before taking the review. He starts walking as soon as he sees that the ball is pitching in line and he was as plumb as they come. South Africa in disarray.

Stubbs lbw b Patel 12 (12)

South Africa 68/3 in 8.5 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Just nine runs off the seventh and eighth overs and SA really finding it difficult to get the spinners away. Interestingly enough, Ravi Bishnoi is yet to bowl an over. Both Markram and Stubbs have scored 11 runs off 10 balls each. South Africa need 156 to win from 72 balls.

South Africa 64/2 in 8 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: 14 runs came off the fifth over bowled by Axar Patel and Varun comes in to bowl the last over of the powerplay. He sends in a googly at length outside off third ball to Hendricks. The batter steps out but misses it entirely, Samson whips off the bails. Once again, Chakravarthy strikes within his first three balls in a match.

South Africa 47/2 in 5.3 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Pressure from both ends on South Africa. Both Hendricks and Aiden Markram get a single each off the first two balls. Pandya then goes short outside off third ball, Hendricks tries he pull but inside edges it on to his thigh pad, surprised by the lack of bounce there. Then Pandya bowls a peach, a length ball that seams away just a bit and squares Hendricks up. Three runs off the rest of the over, Markram on three off two, Hendricks on eight off seven.

South Africa 32/1 in 4 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Rickleton chops on and of course it is Arshdeep Singh who gets India the breakthrough. This is his 90th T20I wicket, thus replacing Jasprit Bumrah as India's third-highest wicket-taker of all time in the format. He had banged in the fifth ball and Rickleton sent it over deep square leg for a six. Arshdeep then reverts to that hard length for the last ball, getting it to shape away off the seam slightly. Rickleton pokes at it away from his body, gets a thick edge and the ball bounces right down behind him and trickles on to the stumps before the batter could react.

Rickelton b Arshdeep Singh 20 (15)

South Africa 27/1 in 3 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Ok the flying ants are gone, let's hope we get to see some flying sixes or flying wickets now. Pandya will bowl the second over, Rickleton on strike.

South Africa 7/0 in 1 over

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Laxman walked back holding up 10 fingers to the dressing room, indicating that play will resume in 10 minutes. Corpses of those insects are strewn all over over the ground but the air seems to have been cleared of them. South Africa scored seven runs in that first over, remember, and Hardik Pandya was going to bowl the second. The Proteas are chasing a target of 220.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Well it might read like a flimsy reason to suspend an international match with so much riding on it but there is a risk of those ants flying into players' eyes, just to count one of the thousands of ways in which they can be hurt by these insects. VVS Laxman is out there and we can see one of his assistants just brushing a critter off his shoulder, that is how omnipresent they are.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Insects have stopped play in Centurion. They have been filling up the frame and causing havoc ever since the start of this innings. Pandya was shaping up to bowl the second over when the umpires had a word with him and Suryakumar Yadav, then a word with the South African openers. No one seemed to have any arguments about going off.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Almost an edge and caught behind off the very first ball for Arshdeep as it fizzes past Rickleton's toe-end. He gets off strike next ball and then Hendricks slashes away the first ball he faces today over short third for a four. Two more runs after that in that over, Rickleton on two off four, Hendricks on five off two.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: All right then, what can South Africa get up to here. Ryan Rickleton facing up to Arshdeep Singh, Reeza Hendricks at the other end.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Now India have set up a target of 220 for South Africa to chase, never easy in T20 cricket. One has to remember though, that this is a place where the record for highest T20I chase was broken last year and a target of over 130 was chased in less than 11 overs before that. And so while 220 is a big score, it might be only slightly above par here. The Indian bowlers have their jobs cut out for them.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Utterly excellent bowling from Marco Jansen in that last over, just five runs in it and even then, India have set South Africa a target of 220 to chase. This innings has been all about Tilak Varma with a dash of Abishek Sharma and Ramandeep Singh as well. He finished unbeaten on 107 off 56, Tilak had incidentally put up a partnership of 107 runs off 52 balls as well.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: Well it looked like Sipamla had ended the over well, bowling it into the blockhole outside off and fielding it as well to make it a dot ball. But the third umpire says that the bowler had overstepped and he had to reload. Sipamla misses the yorker this time and Tilak goes down on a knee, scoops it nicely over fine leg for a six. Tilak ends the over on 106 off 53 balls.

India 215/5 in 19 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: And he brings it up with just the most wonderful of boundaries. In the slot from Sipamla for the fifth ball of the 19th, Tilak smashes it down the ground past mid-off. It was quite obvious it would go to the boundary as soon as it beat the fielder and Tilak wheels off in celebration even before the ball reached the ropes! 100 off the very best runs off just 51 balls and that too away from home. Before that, Ramandeep had sent the third ball scorching down the ground for another four.

India 208/5 in 18.5 overs
