    The scary thing is, he hasn't got hold of that at all. It's a top edge!

  2. 6 runs

    SA 68-2

    Target 177

    Six more! This time Stubbs sweeping Axar. South Africa just on top?

  3. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport in Barbados

    The solar panel salesmen of Barbados are going to be gutted when this World Cup finishes.

    It has kept them in a job.

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

    Smash! Look at that, on to the roof.

    Lovely way to bring up the 50 partnership.

  5. 6 runs

    SA 62-2

    Target 177

    It's game on here, you know. De Kock absolutely mullers Kuldeep over the leg side, out of the ground. They should give 12 for that.

  6. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    The other side of that is that Kuldeep should've bowled to him, to pick up cues on how he plays and his scoring areas.

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

    It doesn't seem to worry him too much!

  8. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Kuldeep refused to bowl to Tristan Stubbs at the IPL to make sure he couldn't learn how to pick him.

    That makes this a very interesting match-up.

  9. SA 52-2

    Target 177

    Stubbs is hitting it so well. This time it's down the ground for four off Kuldeep.

  10. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    If South Africa chase this down, there will be eyes on Virat Kohli and why he didn't take a few risks earlier.

  11. SA 48-2

    Target 177

    India were 49-3 at this stage.

  12. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    I've liked the intent from Stubbs. He's not going to let the spinners settle against him. He's using his feet well.

  13. SA 48-2

    Target 177

    More SA momentum, with Stubbs getting low to sweep Axar in front of square for four. This is bubbling up nicely.

  14. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport in Barbados

    The wind is really picking up now.

    The empty seats in the stands have largely gone too.

  15. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    It's not panic stations yet.

    Virat Kohli and Axar Patel showed that you can score on this pitch once you get yourself in. But the skill of India's bowlers could easily stand in the way of that.

  16. SA 42-2

    Target 177

    Real cat-and-mouse stuff. Remember, Kuldeep refused to bowl to Stubbs in the nets at the IPL so Stubbs couldn't learn his tricks. De Kock ends the powerplay with a cut for four.

  17. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    Those two wickets have derailed South Africa's powerplay.

    Kuldeep Yadav's overs will signify whether they're going to chase this down, or not.

  18. SA 33-2

    Target 177

    Now Kuldeep Yadav in the powerplay. Can South Africa get after him in this sixth over?

  19. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    It's a good pitch but it's not a belter. 10 an over will be very tricky.

  20. SA 32-2

    Target 177

    Now De Kock gives himself room and uppercuts over the covers for four. Better over for South Africa.
