  1. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport in Barbados

    "Koh-li! Koh-li!" rings around Kensington Oval.

  2. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    That is massive. Absolutely massive.

  3. 6 runs

    Ind 163-4

    In the slot, six more.

    Kohli is ticking, Jansen is imploding.

  4. Ind 155-4

    Full toss, four.

    Marco Jansen is not having a good day.

  5. Ind 151-4

    Wide-ish delivery, but it's a dot ball because Kohli comes charging at it and moves across.

    He's not happy. Shock.

  6. Ind 151-4

    Eek indeed.

    Quinton de Kock thinks Kohli is caught behind. Nothing from the bowler or the umpire, but it doesn't matter anyway because Jansen has overstepped.

    Free hit incoming.

  7. Marco Jansen to bowl the 19th. He's bowled three overs, 0-32.

    Eek.

  8. South Africa need to find another moment of magic like this from somewhere.

  9. Ind 150-4

    Big over.

    16 from it.

  10. Ind 148-4

    An attempted slower ball from Rabada goes very wrong. It's so wide it should probably be punished by having to bowl two extra balls.

  11. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport in Barbados

    Kohli hadn't hit a boundary since the fourth over before this.

  12. Ind 146-4

    Pulled for four more.

    South Africa are losing control of this.

  13. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Kohli knows it is time to get on with things.

  14. 6 runs

    Ind 140-4

    He's ticking now.

    Kohli slams Rabada's first ball down the ground for six.

  15. Neither Kohli or Dube have made their mark on the tournament so far.

    They are putting that right so far today.

  16. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    It's not been express from Kohli, but it has been effective.

  17. Ind 134-4

    Shivam Dube cuts the last ball of Nortje's over for four, moving to 21 from 12 balls.

    India are set up nicely for an explosive finish.

  18. 50 runs

    50 for Virat Kohli

    Ind 130-4

    Talk about saving your best until last.

    Kohli goes to a 48-ball half-century, just when India needed it desperately.

  19. Ind 129-4

    Ooh!

    Dube drills one back at Nortje, but it looks like it goes straight through him, hit too firmly.

    He can't get a hand to it. Would've been a screamer if he had.

  20. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    That was hit so hard by Dube.
