  1. 6 runs

    SA 128-4

    Target 177

    Klaasen again! Off the back foot and back over Axar's head for six. India need one of these men gone.

    Still no Bumrah...

  3. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    It's back under 10 an over. That takes it into the realm of "doable".

  4. 6 runs

    SA 123-4

    Need 54 from 36

    Absolutely clattered for six over mid-wicket by Miller!

    Kuldeep ends his four overs with figures of 0-45. He's been mullered.

  5. SA 113-4

    Target 177

    India will have to find two overs from Jadeja and Hardik. They've also got two overs of Bumrah. They feel like the key. He's the player of the tournament, right?

  6. SA 111-4

    Target 177

    Not now, Matthew.

  7. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport in Barbados

    Bad time to tell you some dark clouds are building?

  8. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    This is the partnership.

  9. SA 109-4

    Target 177

    Marco Jansen in next, then the bowlers. These two are going to have to do the bulk of the work.

  10. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport in Barbados

    Arshdeep Singh has got two wickets from two terrible deliveries today.

  11. SA 106-4

    Target 177

    David Miller is the new man. Not a bad number six to have coming in right now.

  12. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    He was going for the glory. It's not come out the middle of the bat but it's a bit of a brain fade regardless.

    It's given India an opening.

  13. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    I cannot understand why on earth he has done that.

    South Africa's job was manageable, but now it's difficult.

    WICKET

    De Kock c Kuldeep b Arshdeep 39 (SA 106-4)

    Can you believe this?

    The fielder drops back to where the ball has just been hit and Quinton de Kock hits it down his throat.

    What a moment. Is that where the game turns?

  15. 6 runs

    SA 108-3

    Target 177

    They're getting these, you know. De Kock inside the line, helping the ball over fine leg for six. India desperate for a wicket.

  16. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    This is a big over.

    Rohit has been forced to turn back to pace.

  17. SA 102-3

    Target 177

    Not yet, but Arshdeep is bowling.

  18. SA 101-3

    Target 177

    Kuldeep has gone for 31 from three overs without taking a wicket. When is it Bumrah time?

  19. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    A cut shot, over long-off for six. How?

  20. SA 100-3

    Target 177

    Absolutely glorious. Too wide from Kuldeep and Klaasen eases him over extra cover with the minimum of foot movement. Imperious.
