    When does Rohit turn to Jasprit Bumrah for the first of his two remaining overs?

    That could decide the game.

  2. SA 94-3

    Target 177

    Super over, anyone?

  3. Alex Hartley

    South Africa needed that over.

  4. SA 93-3

    Target 177

    Now good running, nudged to the edge of the circle to pinch two. 12 from the over. The wicket has not derailed their progress.

  5. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    That is what Heinrich Klaasen does best.

    Front leg out the way, boom it down the ground.

  6. 6 runs

    SA 89-3

    Target 177

    Wallop!

    Massive from Klaasen, back down the ground off Jadeja for six. A monster.

  7. SA 81-3

    Target 177

    Halfway stage. Tight.

    Quinton de Kock gave it everything, but it went nowhere.

  9. Not out

    SA 80-3

    Hardik oversteps, granting a free hit. De Kock skies the ball straight up, into the gloves of Pant, but it's not out.

  10. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Filthy!

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

    How has he hit that there?!

  12. 6 runs

    SA 77-3

    Target 177

    Av' it. Klaasen biffs a Hardik short ball off the back foot over cover for six. Brutal.

    I'm watching from a pub in a township called Cosmo City in Johannesburg. The tension, the expectations, the hope. You can feel it in every breath that greets your eyes. South Africans badly want this one.

    Because he's so dominant against spin, it's a good move to bring Hardik Pandya on.

    Rohit is saving Bumrah and Arshdeep for the end, so I understand why he doesn't want to bowl either of those two.

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

    There are few better players of spin in the world than Heinrich Klaasen.

  16. SA 71-3

    Target 177

    Heinrich Klassen is the new man. He'd give away every single run he has scored in the past year for a telling knock here.

  17. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Quinton de Kock is not happy with his batting partner there. He's thrown his wicket away and they can't afford to do that.

    Axar Patel is not changing anything, he keeps attacking the stumps, which forces Stubbs to do something different and step across like that.

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

    The threatening partnership is broken.

    WICKET

    Stubbs b Axar 31 (SA 70-3)

    Tristan Stubbs, what have you done?

    Trying to sweep Axar Patel, gets too far across and loses his off stump. De Kock can't believe it. India right back in this game.

  20. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    The boundaries are obviously important but it's equally vital that these two keep rotating the strike when they can't get it to the ropes. The left-right hand combination is so difficult for a bowler.
