"There's a three-week waiting list for an Australian visa in India because of the thousands of people wanting to come to this tournament."

Looks like that dismissal of Duminy also came off his body as well as his bat on the way through to slip. Wayne Parnell is the new man in, he's had a chastening day with the ball so far, but does have the ability to hit a long ball.

"If the reverse-sweep comes off you're a hero, if not you're zero. The Indian supporters are going mad - whoever sold India flags outside the MCG today has just gone and bought a Bentley."

And that could well be that. JP Duminy attempts a reverse sweep from Ashwin and a leading edge loops up to slip for the simplest of catches for Suresh Raina. A sea of blue goes wild at the MCG once again.

"Today was the seventh time that De Villiers and Du Plessis have been involved in a run-out while batting together, which equals the South Africa record for most run-outs by a pair in ODIs with Hansie Cronje/Jacques Kallis and Gary Kirsten/Jacques Kallis."

Thanks Justin, you pass the baton to me at a time when you sense South Africa need a big performance from one or two of their number. As you say, break it down to the last 20 overs as a run chase and it doesn't sound unrealistic. Mohit Sharma keeps up his steady display and he's well backed up by his fielders with light blue shirts diving left and right to keep South Africa in check.

"It's been a tricky wicket, especially for the South Africans who have struggled to find their timing. David Miller strikes the ball so cleanly though, that if he gets it through the infield it will go for a boundary."

Full scorecard

Miller sweeps the first ball of Ashwin's over for four, and the batsmen accumulate steadily off the remainder of it. It's now a Twenty20 game - 166 needed off 20 overs. Hold on to your hats as Adam Williams takes the mic.

"South Africa need a big, big partnership now. They can't afford to leave it to their lower order. Vernon Philander is injured for starters."

So JP Duminy joins Miller at the crease. These two both hit centuries in putting on a record unbroken 256 in South Africa's win over Zimbabwe. They only need 175 this time. In fewer than 22 overs. A superb over from Mohit, spoiled only by a wide.

"It looked like a good shot initially, it made a gun-shot type noise as it flew towards Shikhar Dhawan, but it just came off the splice in the end. South Africa are in trouble now."

A wicket for MS Dhoni! The skipper can take the credit for that one. He brings Mohit Sharma back into the attack and Du Plessis - advancing down the track - drills his first ball straight to mid-off, where Shikhar Dhawan takes the catch above his head. The Indian fielders go wild. Dhoni allows a sheepish grin to cross his face. Advantage India.

The spin twins are whirling away with good effect - Ashwin restricts Miller and Du Plessis to a single apiece. At this stage India were 138-2. Just a thought...

"It's a nice start from Du Plessis, but he's got to go big if South Africa are to win. He needs to get 140 or 150."

Miller looks like he might be the man to spearhead this South Africa pursuit, which would be a record in an ODI at the MCG. However, with an escalating run rate comes the need to take chances - and the left-hander sees a sweep narrowly evade the diving Mohit at deep mid-wicket. Still, a four's a four.

"I do believe my eardrums have just burst! An almighty roar that greeted Mohit Sharma's accurate throw that ran out AB de Villiers and sent a soundly sleeping baby into a state on panic.

"The crowd know just how vital a wicket that was to pick-up if India are going to go and win this match and the shouts of 'India Zindabad' are growing ever louder. The flags are flying high once again as the MCG finally starts to cool from the intense heat during the day."

The pressure builds. The noise grows. Are the South African nerves starting to fray? Du Plessis survives an appeal for a bat-pad catch that is slightly stronger than half-hearted. No boundaries from the past four overs.

India tighten the tourniquet - and India captain MS Dhoni is a master of it. Jadeja rattles through another economical over and South Africa's task now reads: 193 needed off 25 overs.
