  1. SA 26-2

    Target 177

    Axar is on, greeted by a back-cut for four by Stubbs.

  2. Steven Finn

    What is most remarkable about Jasprit Bumrah is just how calm he is under pressure, his consistency at executing exactly what he wants to do.

  3. SA 22-2

    Target 177

    This what Bumrah did to Hendricks. South Africa get through his second over unscathed, but are behind the rate.

  4. SA 20-2

    Target 177

    De Kock opens the face and guides Bumrah past slip for four, then drives through the covers for a couple. It feels like De Kock holds De Key for South Africa.

  5. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    Rohit Sharma is going in for the kill. Jasprit Bumrah is still going.

  6. Not out

    SA 14-2

    Nothing on it. Everyone calm down.

  7. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Quinton de Kock is smiling.

  8. India review

    SA 13-2

    Another? Has De Kock gloved this through to Pant?

  9. SA 13-2

    Target 177

    Tristan Stubbs is the new man. What a situation to arrive in.

  10. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    The angle across Markram is what leaves him reaching for it slightly. Another big wicket for India.

    WICKET

    Markram c Pant b Arshdeep 4 (SA 12-2)

    Another! India are bang on top.

    It's wide from Arshdeep Singh, Aiden Markram might be expecting a bit of movement back in, but it's not there.

    The skipper throws his hands through the ball, but only edges to Rishabh Pant.

    Trouble for South Africa.

  12. SA 11-1

    Target 177

    I'm sticking with my theory that it would be better to chase from 16 overs against India, with Bumrah not allowed to bowl. Yes, no runs, but no wickets lost, either.

  13. SA 11-1

    Target 177

    Aiden Markram is the new man, opening his account with a lovely square drive for four.

  14. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    A beautiful delivery. He finds things that other bowlers don't on surfaces like this.

    It's a delivery you expect James Anderson to bowl soon when he plays his final Test at Lord's.

  15. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Bumrah strikes in the final! What else would you expect, he's been relentless in this tournament.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Hendricks b Bumrah 4 (SA 7-1)

    Outstanding. Unplayable. Jasprit Bumrah.

    Reeze Hendricks is knocked over with a sensational outswinger. Hendricks shapes to play on the on side, is turned around and loses his off stump.

    Spectacular stuff.

  17. SA 6-0

    Target 177

    Jasprit Bumrah is bowling, obvs. He goes past De Kock's edge, obvs.

  18. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    Crisp timing from Hendricks. This is a good surface.

  19. SA 6-0

    Target 177

    Last ball clattered for four through the off side by Reeza Hendricks, South Africa's first boundary.

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

    India have a good total. Is it a match-winning total?
