  1. Ind 143-2published at 25 overs

    South Africa are absolutely racing through their overs, with two singles coming of Keshav Maharaj's latest twirl.

    Given it is twin spin both batters are wearing caps, which I am always a big fan of. Very old school.

  2. Ind 141-2published at 24 overs

    That has woken them up.

    Shreyas Iyer has carted a fuller ball over the covers and away for four to ruin what had previously been another tight over from Keshav Maharaj.

    The crowd is quiet. This is not what they were expecting.

  5. Ind 134-2published at 23 overs

    Keshav Maharaj continues to be miserly, with just a single coming off his seventh over.

    The South African spinners are doing a great job at pinning the India batters down.

    They're taking a chance running to Bavuma, he's one of the fastest fielders in the world.

  7. Ind 133-2published at 22 overs

    Cool as you like from Shreyas Iyer as he steps right across his stumps before the faintest off flicks off the pad and away for four. He was inches away from playing on, there.

    India then test the arm of Temba Bavuma as they go for a quick single. They just about scramble home, but a direct hit would have been interesting.

  8. Ind 127-2published at 21 overs

    Just three singles follow off the rest of Keshav Maharaj's over.

    You could feel the tension in the crowd while they were waiting for that Virat Kohli DRS decision. The stadium absolutely erupted when it was given not out.

    There's one thing you don't do is challenge Virat Kohli about a decision at the crease. He normally gets a hundred after that if you do.

  10. Not outpublished at 20.1 overs

    Not out! There's nothing on snicko when the ball goes past the bat. It looks like the noise Quinton de Kock heard was bat on pad.

    He shares a friendly word with Virat Kohli after the decision is shown on the big screen.

    I don't think Virat Kohli thinks he has edged it. It's a huge moment in the game. But it looks like there is a bit of bat, maybe?

    Quinton de Kock has gone straight up and thinks he has got his man!

  13. South Africa reviewpublished at 20.1 overs

    Well, well, well, have South Afica got Virat Kohli?

    Quinton de Kock is convinced he has feathered behind and it is sent upstairs.

    Kohli does not look too concerned, though.

    Tabraiz Shamsi can be a little bit erratic as a bowler, but he is someone who can get you a wicket. I can tell you there is no love lost between him and Virat Kohli!

    Thanks, Mike.

    This is turning into a fascinating contest. India made a pulsating start but have been well pegged back by South Africa.

  16. Ind 124-2published at 20 overs

    Slightly errant start from Tabraiz Shamsi, beginning with a leg side wide and sending another one down two balls later.

    But he tightens up and finishes with four dot balls and draws a leading edge from Iyer, landing in a gap in front of the covers.

    Here's Tom Mallows to take you through the next 20 overs.

    I was there in Paris to watch the Springboks win the rugby World Cup. I hope its South Africa in the final again, against India.

  18. Ind 121-2published at 19 overs

    Copy and paste job here - Keshav Maharaj's over goes for minimal runs.

    Three from it - he's gone for 15 from his five overs with zero boundaries.

    I think South Africa's unity and team work has stood out. There's a lot of guys who have shown their experience of playing in the IPL. I would say what stands out is the batting line-up. All of them seem to be in form.

  20. Ind 118-2published at 18 overs

    A boundary!

    A somewhat fortuitous one, off the bottom of the bat from Kohli from Ngidi's delivery, breaking through empty slip cordon.

    We waited 47 deliveries.
