Jadeja to Senuran Muthusamy, byes, FOUR, and more! This time its much quicker and drifting in, Muthusamy decides to offer pad and the lack of bounce means it skids away quickly beating Rahane to his right, thanks to a tickling flap of the pad
127.3
Jadeja to Senuran Muthusamy, FOUR, this is poor from India and Virat Kohli. The field settings are totally weird.

Ashwin to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, mild appeal for lbw but no dice! Muthusamy strides forward against this full toss and senses no threat off the surface, just pads it away outside off
126.4
Ashwin to Senuran Muthusamy, FOUR, too full on off-stump and Muthusamy pounces on it. Stays leg-side of the delivery and drills the drive past the diving right hand of shot cover, timed!
126.3
Ashwin to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, looks to play the paddle against a full delivery and chips it off the bat face onto his chin, no pace on offer and hence the plan didn't work

124.6
Ishant to Rabada, FOUR, 400 up for South Africa. Too full and veering into the pads, Rabada shows he's got that typical left-hander's elegance as he chips the drive over mid-on with a nice twirl of the wrists

122.1
Shami to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, that ball just said a hello to the top of off. Shami showing the world why he's rated so highly when it comes to creating magic with the seam. Lands it perfectly on the seam and the gets the ball to curl in sharply to beat Muthusamy's inside edge and then skimming past the woodwork. I0$....
121.6

Shami to Maharaj, 1 run, touch fuller at I0$ on the pads, Maharaj gets his bat down in time to send a fine tickle wide of backward square
119.5
Ashwin to Maharaj, 1 run, sharp spin again as Maharaj's late to bring his bat down on the defence, but the umpire reckons that's an inside edge lobbed off the flap of the pad over the keeper. Rohit Sharma, from leg slip, reacts instantly but he was never gonna get there
119.1

117.5
Ashwin to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, Muthusamy wanted the single but Maharaj didn't budge at all. Hilarous scenes. This was bunted to Jadeja at mid-off, and Muthusamy wanted to be relieved of the task of facing the last ball but he will have to now

116.4
Jadeja to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, how did he get bat on this? Kept very, very low and Muthusamy was on the shuffle across. Somehow keeps it out. Reminded me of my gully cricket days
116.3
Jadeja to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, spins in again from outside off, Muthusamy gets across in the crease and defends with soft hands
116.2

112.2
Jadeja to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, stifled appeal, probably for LBW but for starters it hasn't hit the pad and even if it had, impact was miles outside off. Was the flattish shooter from Jadeja that kept really low, Muthusamy couldn't get bat on it. There was a noise but that was of bat hitting ground
112.1
Jadeja to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, flatter and turning into Muthusamy who pushes with hard hands. Thick inside edge that sneaks past short leg

108.5
Shami to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, was always a risky review from India who were clearly getting frustrated with the Protea defiance today. This was the in-angler from a good length, rapping Muthusamy on the pad in front of leg stump. Looked to be going down leg in real time and HawkEye confirms the same. Review lost!
108.4
Shami to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, hits the deck and keeps it around off stump, Muthusamy hops across a bit to defend by getting behind the line
108.3

106.2
Shami to de Kock, 1 run, de Kock continues to time them ever so sweetly. Overcooked by Shami and it's push-driven with elegance to the right of mid-off. Jaddu stationed there and hence, just a single as he moves across swiftly
105.5
