Shikhar Dhawan 35(29)
12.2
Chris Morris to Dhawan, out Dhawan Run Out!! Can you believe that? There was an lbw appeal and that must have put off Dhawan a bit. He was searching for the ball for a while, and Kohli was more than halfway down. Dhawan spots it late and decides to go for the run. Markram, from backward point, runs forward, collects and hits the stumps at the bowler's end. SD was nowhere in the frame. All this happened after Dhawan gets an inside edgeon his clip/flick to an in-angling fullish ball from round the wicket. It was Kohli's call and to be honest, the run wasn't on there. A premature end to Dhawan's knock. Dhawan run out (Markram) 35(29) [4s-6]
12.1
Chris Morris to Kohli, 1 run, opens the bat-face and runs this length ball down to third man
11.5
Tahir to Kohli, 1 run, Kohli has ample time to pick the length, go back in his crease and punch it to sweeper cover
11.3
Tahir to Dhawan, FOUR, width provided outside off and Dhawan will punish you all day if you bowl there. Sits down on one knee and cuts it superbly behind square on the off-side. No need to run for those
11.2
Tahir to Kohli, 1 run, slightly too full, whipped to the right of long-on
10.5
Chris Morris to Kohli, 1 run, just a tap towards mid-off and they scamper through for a quick single
10.3
Chris Morris to Kohli, 1 run, walks forward and across to punch this back of a length at 139kph square of the wicket on the off-side
10.1
Chris Morris to Dhawan, 2 runs, good shot! There's a wide-ish gully and backward point in place, Dhawan manages to pierce that by scything this back of a length delivery wide of off through the gap
9.6
Rabada to Dhawan, 1 run, Rabada bumps one short and Dhawan powerfully pulls it to fine leg
9.5
Rabada to Dhawan, no run, another tempter outside off from Rabada. Dhawan resists from going after it, decided to shoulder arms at the lasy moment. It was an away-angler from a short of length
9.4
Rabada to Dhawan, no run, too wide this time and Dhawan is content in letting that go
9.3
Rabada to Dhawan, no run, that's the area to be bowling. Angling away in the corridor of uncertainty. Bit of extra bounce as well, Dhawan sticks his bat out in an attempt to block, beaten!
9.2
Rabada to Kohli, leg byes, 1 run, another in-seamer from Rabada. Kohli misses it by a long way and the ball rolls towards mid-wicket off the pad. De Kock went up for an optimistc lbw appeal. Too high and going down leg as well
8.6
Morne Morkel to Kohli, no run, looks to crash a length ball outside off with a cross-batted stroke and ends up bottom-edging it adjacent to the pitch on the off-side
7.5
Rabada to Dhawan, FOUR, another one in the vicinity of 150kph, but slightly errs in line. On the ribs and Dhawan manages to get a glove trying to tickle it away. Runs away for four more
7.4
Rabada to Dhawan, no run, pitches slightly up, Dhawan pushes it on the off-side
7.3
Rabada to Dhawan, no run, back of a length delivery on leg and middle, defended
7.2
Rabada to Kohli, 1 run, edged and just wide of the fielder at wide slip. Faf flew to his right and got a finger on it. Another shortish ball that might have seamed away a tad, Kohli hops and tries to run it down to third man. Gets it off the outside part of the bat and just managed to get it past the South African captain. Would be harsh to call that as a drop
6.5
Morne Morkel to Dhawan, FOUR, good shot! Didn't over-hit, just got the placement right and the ball bullets away. On a good length and around the off-stump line, SD walks towards off and drives it to the left of the Morkel. Mid-on gives a chase, but in vain
6.4
Morne Morkel to Dhawan, no run, attacks the stumps from a good length, Shikhar blocks from the crease
4.2
Morne Morkel to Dhawan, FOUR, leg-stump half-volley and Dhawan takes heavy toll of it. Uses his wrists to good effect as he flicks it away through square leg
4.1
Morne Morkel to Dhawan, no run, bends the back knee and absolutely middles the cover drive. Finds Duminy at cover. A good looking shot for nothing
3.6
Rabada to Rohit, FOUR, poor ball and Rohit won't miss out on those. Full and sprayed down the leg-side, all Rohit had to do was put bat on ball. Stays in his crease and flicks it away fine. No chance for fine leg to stop that
3.2
Rabada to Dhawan, no run, comes half-forward to poke this back of a length delivery to backward point
3.1
Rabada to Dhawan, FOUR, nicely done! Rabada bangs one short and gets it rise around the shoulder area, Dhawan stays back in his crease and pulls it away behind square leg. He was in total control of that shot
2.6
Morne Morkel to Rohit, no run, good ball to end the over. Short of a good length delivery in that nagging zone around the fifth stump line outside off, Rohit brings his bat down in an attempt to block, whizzes past the outside edge
2.1
Morne Morkel to Rohit, 1 run, sees the width outside off on this back of a length delivery and flashes his bat hard at it. The fat edge flies over the cordon and then towards third man. Just a single
1.1
Rabada to Dhawan, no run, Rabada starts with a full ball just outside off at 139kph, firmly driven to mid-off
0.6
Morne Morkel to Rohit, no run, attacks the stumps with a fuller length ball does Morne Morkel and Rohit tries to work it through the on-side. Gets a soft leading edge that rolls towards mid-off. Good, first over from the tall South African. No freebies
