43.6
Tahir to Bhuvneshwar, no run, googly which turns in, Bhuvneshwar watchfully blocks it into the off-side
43.5
Tahir to Bhuvneshwar, leg byes, 2 runs, that never looked out. And even for South Africa to get it in their favour it should have been hitting the stumps. Bhuvneshwar shuffles and misses the quicker slider, struck around leg-stump and the ball was drifting further down
43.4
Tahir to Kohli, 1 run, tossed up close to off, Kohli plays an extended forward defence to sweeper cover
43.3
Tahir to Kohli, FOUR, picked the bones out of that one. Flighted delivery and Kohli is on his knee to get under that, the clean bat swing takes it flat over mid-wicket, one bounce four
43.2
Tahir to Bhuvneshwar, 1 run, wrong 'un on a fuller length, Bhuvneshwar eases it down to long-off
43.1
Tahir to Kohli, 1 run, yes-no and yes again. Kohli glides it to short third man and Bhuvneshwar was off for the single, sent back and Amla fumbles which then prompts Kohli to go for the single
41.6
Tahir to Kedar Jadhav, no run, slower and around off, Jadhav prods forward and defends
41.5
Tahir to Kohli, 1 run, he's played this off Klaasen's gloves. Fraction short and turning away, Kohli waited and glided it to short third man
41.4
Tahir to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, tight single. The throw was to the wrong end. Jadhav picks the googly off the surface and dabs it in front of short fine leg, Kohli was off the blocks quickly and Amla aimed for the striker's end. Should have gone for the other end as Jadhav was struggling
41.3
Tahir to Dhoni, out Caught by Lungi Ngidi!! This was on the cards. 10 off 21 balls and the pressure was on Dhoni to up the ante. Shimmies down the wicket and is deceived by the googly, the ball dips in front of him and turns in, Dhoni goes through with the loft and the bottom hand comes off the bat handle, spoons a dolly to long-on. First wicket of the series for Tahir. He's toiled away without much success. Dhoni c Lungi Ngidi b Tahir 10(22)
41.2
