13.4 : South Africa:133/3

13.4: J Unadkat to JP Duminy, Slower length ball on off, Duminy helps it on the leg side and looks for a run. A slight hesitation shown by Miller initially but then he responds. Unadkat reaches the ball but misses his shy at the striker's end. Had he hit, Miller would have been a goner.

12:20 AM (IST)

13.1 : South Africa:131/3

13.1: J Unadkat to H Klaasen, OUT! Against the run of play, India have a wicket, that too, a big one. Heinrich Klaasen is on his way back to the pavilion. Unadkat returns in the attack and angles in a slower length ball in line of the stumps. Klaasen backs away to swing it over the leg side but fails to get proper connection. It takes a thin edge to the keeper and Dhoni makes no mistake. They appeal and the finger goes up. What a knock by Heinrich, he has put South Africa on the front foot! Also, the 93-run stand off 49 balls is over. Carnage.

12:18 AM (IST)

12.6 : South Africa:131/2

12.6: Y Chahal to JP Duminy, SIX! Duminy joins the party! Sits down on one knee and slog sweeps it with the spin. All the way it goes over mid-wicket for half a dozen. They have targeted the leggie here and it has paid off. 23 from this over, 39 in last two of Chahal. 58 needed off 42 balls.

12:16 AM (IST)

12.2 : South Africa:120/2

12.2: Y Chahal to H Klaasen, SIX! Chahal switches to over the wicket but it doesn't matter. The length is on the shorter side and Klaasen powers his pull over mid-wicket for a biggie.

12:15 AM (IST)

12.1 : South Africa:114/2

12.1: Y Chahal to H Klaasen, SIX! Out of here! Chahal tries his luck from round the wicket. Bowls it full and around leg, Klaasen picks it up and smokes it over mid-wicket for a maximum. There was a certain amount of arrogance in this shot.

12:13 AM (IST)

11.6 : South Africa:108/2

11.6: H Pandya to JP Duminy, Works a length ball from around off to deep square leg and rushes back for the second run. A weak throw reaches to the bowler who is not at all impressed. Kohli is also livid with the effort. Pressure on India. 81 needed from 48!

12:11 AM (IST)

11.2 : South Africa:105/2

11.2: H Pandya to H Klaasen, FOUR! Fine shot! Reaches his maiden T20I fifty in style, off just 22 balls. A short in length ball on middle and leg, Klaasen gets inside the line and pulls it over short fine leg for a boundary. What a knock this has been!

12:07 AM (IST)

10.3 : South Africa:92/2

10.3: Y Chahal to JP Duminy, Flighted and full outside off, driven towards extra cover for a single. A needless shy at the non-striker's end, it hit the stumps and deflected in the deep. No extra run taken.

10.1 : South Africa:90/2

9.2 : South Africa:80/2

9.2: S Thakur to JP Duminy, Howzzat? Back of a length delivery on middle, Duminy tries to work it on the leg side but misses. It goes past him making some noise and the Indian fielders make noise after that while appealing for a catch. Nothing from the umpire again. Brushed his pads, the replays confirm.

12:01 AM (IST)
