Chris Morris bowls full and wide, Dhawan takes aim and slaps it over mid-wicket for four. The hundred partnership is up and that wicket of Rohit Sharma is just a distant memory. Have plans for tonight? I don't think this one will take too much longer.

Glum South African faces in the field. Glum South African faces in the dressing room. There are no glum South Africans in the crowd as it's just a sea of blue India shirts. The few Proteas fans that were here may have already gone home. Good over from Rabada. He's bowled well today, going for 22 from his seven.

Kohli is just three away from 50. Contender for shot of his innings so far below:

That is Dhawan's 29th ODI half-century, 10 of which he has converted into centuries. He has now scored the most runs in this tournament, and has not been out for under 30 in eight innings in the Champions Trophy.

Half-century for the opener, courtesy of a four which is struck as sweet as a nut down the ground.

He has 247 runs in the tournament with scores of 68, 125 and now 54 not-out. I think you can firmly say he is in some nick.

The inevitability is close now for South Africa. They have 27 overs but they will get the runs in half the time probably.

Timed like a runny boiled egg. Not once, but twice. Morkel strays on to leg ever so slightly and Kohli just flicks it through mid-wicket. Glorious. The next one is nothing more than a defensive punch through the covers.

Who said he couldn't play in England conditions? Pure class.

Chris Morris in for his third over. South Africa continue to bowl to Kohli's off stump, teasing him to play at a wide one. He's not having any of it. These two showing how running between the wicket should be done. Good, clear calling.

Dhawan has moved on to 49. Not even Imran Tahir has been able to stop him ...

You can trace the panic of the middle of the South Africa innings back to the pace of the start of the innings.

Cheers, Justin. Anyone hear about the boxing judge who apparently got the two boxers mixed up in his scorecard last night? The Proteas would love for him to be scoring this game. Morne Morkel returns - it's go-for-broke time for South Africa. They need something special.

Back-to-back boundaries for Kohli. The Indian skipper opens up the bat and slices one over point, the second four dissects slip and gully and races through. The ton up for India.

We're 20 overs into India's chase, they are almost halfway to their target and South Africa have picked up a solitary wicket. Drops and near-misses like this haven't helped. Here's Kal Sajad to describe what looks for all the world like a crushing India win.

Dhawan is toying with the South Africans now. He shapes to make room outside off with a little back-foot shimmy, then crunches a cut through a packed off-side field when Phehlukwayo drops short. It ruins an otherwise decent over which costs five.

Poor from Tahir, who serves up two half-trackers to Dhawan. The first is pulled with power, the second cut expertly behind point. South Africa's exit from the tournament looms.

I'd be surprised if AB de Villiers carries on with the ODI captaincy after this. But I don't have any insight; it's not a conversation I've had with him.

Dhawan is in a hurry, it seems. Charging at Phelukwayo, he miscues a pull that loops just short of Morkel at mid-on. Is there something on the telly tonight that Dhawan has forgotten to record?

There's a little bit more commitment to the way India are running between the wickets, compared to South Africa - no indecision.

Dhawan has 35 to his name, 22 of which have come in boundaries, albeit with the help of some occasionally patchy South Africa fielding.

And we finally have spin, in the form of leggie Imran Tahir, the architect of Sri Lanka's downfall in South Africa's first game of the tournament. Dhawan greets him with a meaty sweep - on the ground all the way - that brings up the fifty partnership. A googly to beat Dhawan's forward defensive is no more than a moral victory for Tahir. Let's have a drink.

You have to be on your toes and dive forward, but he's done well to even get his hand on it. It would have been a brilliant catch.

No, no, no! That's a chance. A tough one, but it's a chance nonetheless. Phelukwayo draws Kohli into the drive, finds enough movement away to take the edge, and the ball flies quickly to first slip. Hashim Amla, diving low to his right, can only parry it. A misfield off the final ball of the over compounds South Africa's woes.
