  1. Ind 111-2published at 17 overs

    Keshav Maharaj's first four deliveries go for singles before he concludes with two dot balls.

    We've had 20 runs from the last seven overs. But India know they've still got plenty of time.

    Lungi Ngidi has been very expensive today and hasn't really looked entirely threatening. I think South Africa will stick with him with the remainder of the tournament.

  3. Ind 107-2published at 16 overs

    Lungi Ngidi returns in place of Rabada - he went for 34 runs from his first three overs, but there's just two taken from this one as Kohli and Iyer take a single apiece.

    Still no boundary since the powerplay. We'll take drinks.

  4. Ind 105-2published at 15 overs

    A couple of singles from Maharaj's third over - he's gone for just eight runs so far.

    A real tightening of the tap after India's run-heavy start.

    South Africa are targeting Shreyas Iyer with the short ball. There are not players who like short bowling - especially aggressive short-pitched bowling. What can happen is that if you are given a lot of shorter ballsy you can lose your ability to play of shots off the front foot.

  6. Ind 103-2published at 14 overs

    Kohli brings up the Indian century, withdrawing his bat from Rabada but it takes the edge and runs away for a single to deep third.

    It's looking pretty busy at Eden Gardens, and I suspect it will fill up further as the day goes on.

    This is where Virat Kohli excels as a batter. He soaks up some of that pressure and then is able to hit the odd boundary.

  8. Ind 99-2published at 13 overs

    The India batters work Maharaj around the ground for three singles.

    We enjoyed 17 boundaries in the powerplay, but haven't seen any since its conclusion.

  9. Ind 96-2published at 12 overs

    Shreyas Iyer gets two pushing Kagiso Rabada through the covers. The only runs from the over - are set for a quieter period with India rebuilding?

  10. Ind 94-2published at 11 overs

    Shreyas Iyer is next up for India and he gets off the mark with a single to cover.

    The back spin and over spin deceived Shubman Gill. When you are a finger spinner in the nets you are striving for a perfect delivery like that. Keshav Maharaj has beaten him all ends up.

    Gill b Maharaj 23 (Ind 93-2)

    No, the keeper was nowhere near. That's gone - the ball clipping the very top of the bails to send them flying.

    A wicket from the first over of spin.

    It looks like a fine delivery. The umpires are just going to check this. Has Shubman Gill gone here? You don't get many reviews for bowled!

  14. Umpire reviewpublished at 10.3 overs

    Keshav Maharaj has bowled Shubman Gill!

    But we appear to be reviewing for some reason? Has Quinton de Kock broken the stumps ahead of the ball?

  15. Ind 91-1published at 10 overs

    Virat Kohli is enjoying himself on his birthday. He hits successive fours off the bowling of Kagiso Rabada, driving uppishly through the covers before seeing a classic on drive to the ropes.

    91 from the powerplay, a great start for India.

    Virat Kohli kind of chipped that. He didn't overhit. A lovely wristy shot.

  17. Ind 82-1published at 9 overs

    Four apiece for the India batters - Gill sends Jansen over mid-wicket before Kohli plays a nice controlled clip over square leg for another boundary.

    One over left in the powerplay.

    Vintage Virat. The birthday boy is on the move. High elbow and beautiful timing.

  19. Ind 72-1published at 8 overs

    Kohli is off the mark - he times Rabada through the covers beautifully.

    Again, that boundary is surrounded by dots. The South African seamer beats the bat of Kohli, lovely ball to finish.

  20. Ind 68-1published at 7 overs

    Jansen delivered five dot balls around that six - I wonder if he can take any consolation from that?

    He's gone for 33 from his three overs.
