1st Test, 14-Nov-2025
| 0 | 54.6 | 54.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Keshav Maharaj, OUT! LBW! Bumrah completes his 5-fer in style. A pinpoint yorker, right at the boots of the batter. Keshav Maharaj tries to jam the bat down, but his head falls over in the process, and he misses connecting. The ball beats the inside edge and strikes on the boot. A big appeal for LBW in unison from the Indians, and the umpire, Rod Tucker, takes all his time before raising his finger up. Maharaj cannot review it as the Proteas have run out of reviews already, and it hardly would have mattered as well. This is Bumrah's 16th five-wicket haul in his Test career. SOUTH AFRICA ARE BOWLED OUT ON 159! |
| 0 | 54.5 | 54.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Keshav Maharaj, Back of a length, on the stumps. Keshav Maharaj lets the ball arrive and defends it firmly. |
| 0 | 54.4 | 54.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Keshav Maharaj, A steep bumper, over the stumps, Keshav Maharaj ducks under it. |
| 0 | 54.3 | 54.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Simon Harmer, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Bumrah has his fourth wicket. Lands it on a fractionally fuller length, does Bumrah. It nips back in very sharply off the deck and rushes Simon into the shot, cramping him for room. The ball scoots relatively low and tries to block in front, and goes under the blade as the ball makes an absolute mess of the stumps behind. Simon Harmer departs on 5 (5) and South Africa are 159/9. |
| 4 | 54.2 | 54.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Simon Harmer, FOUR! Not convincing at all but it races away! Around off, nipping away from off. Simon Harmer is a bit late to withdraw his bat to leave and the ball goes off the bottom edge. It rolls through the gap between gully and backward point and meets the fence behind. |
| 0 | 54.1 | 54.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Simon Harmer, Good length, on middle, Simon blocks it in front. |
| 0 | 53.6 | 53.6: Axar Patel to Tristan Stubbs, Quicker through the air, on off, Tristan Stubbs gets forward and blocks. |
| 0 | 53.5 | 53.5: Axar Patel to Tristan Stubbs, Full and straight, on middle, Tristan Stubbs flicks it to short mid-wicket. |
| 0 | 53.4 | 53.4: Axar Patel to Tristan Stubbs, The length is dragged back, on middle. Stubbs punches it off the back foot to the bowler. |
| 0 | 53.3 | 53.3: Axar Patel to Tristan Stubbs, A very lengthy appeal from Pant for LBW, but he is the only one who looks interested. The umpire shakes his head. There is a conference between Gill, Pant, and Axar, and they decide not to go upstairs. Full and just outside off at 94.6 kph. Stubbs charges down the track but doesn't quite get to the pitch of it. Realises he's in trouble, so he brings bat and pad together in survival mode and smothers it out to the off side. The impact was well outside the line. |
| 1 | 53.2 | 53.2: Axar Patel to Simon Harmer, Arm ball, on a length, slanting on the leg stump. Simon rocks back and tucks it past backward short leg for a single. |
| 0 | 53.1 | 53.1: Axar Patel to Simon Harmer, Drifting in on middle, Simon Harmer gets a bit across and nudges it to the leg side. |

| 0 | 52.5 | 52.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Tristan Stubbs, Back of a length, on top of middle. Tristan Stubbs stands tall and blocks it back to Bumrah. |
| 0 | 52.4 | 52.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Tristan Stubbs, A searing yorker, swinging in at the boots, Tristan Stubbs jams the bat down and flicks it to the square leg region. |
| 0 | 52.3 | 52.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Tristan Stubbs, Into the line of the stumps, on a length, Stubbs knocks it to short mid on. |
| 0 | 52.2 | 52.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Tristan Stubbs, BEATEN! Shapes away with extra bounce from a good length, Stubbs goes poking at it, and plays it away from the body and is beaten past the outside edge. |
| 0 | 52.1 | 52.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Tristan Stubbs, A bit of tail into the batter, on a length, on middle. Tristan Stubbs plays with a straight bat and pushes it down the ground, but the ball goes on to crash into the stumps at the non-striker's end. |
| 0 | 51.6 | 51.6: Axar Patel to Corbin Bosch, OUT! LBW! Axar gets his first wicket right on the stroke of Tea. Patel bowls it flat and full and generates a good in-drift from a fuller length. Corbin Bosch draws the front foot out and looks to block, but the ball keeps sliding in and beats the inside edge and raps on the front pad. A huge appeal for LBW and the finger is raised. Since South Africa have extinguished all their reviews, Corbin Bosch will have to walk back. His struggling stay comes to an end at 3 (23) and South Africa are 154/8. And that will be TEA on Day 1! |
| 0 | 51.5 | 51.5: Axar Patel to Corbin Bosch, Full and around off, driven off the front foot to extra cover. |
| 0 | 51.4 | 51.4: Axar Patel to Corbin Bosch, BEATEN! Sharp away turn from the fourth stump line, on a length. Corbin Bosch is flummoxed by the turn and the ball staying low. Hangs the bat away from his body while weighing on the back foot and gets beaten on the outside edge. |
| 0 | 51.3 | 51.3: Axar Patel to Corbin Bosch, Full, on middle, Bosch tries to push it to the off side, but gets an inside edge and the ball rolls to mid-wicket. |
| 0 | 51.2 | 51.2: Axar Patel to Corbin Bosch, Fullish delivery, on middle, Corbin Bosch bumps it back to the bowler. |

| 1 | 48.4 | 48.4: Mohammed Siraj to Tristan Stubbs, Had the throw hit, Bosch was gone for all money! A full toss, on the stumps, Tristan Stubbs flicks it to the right of mid on and calls his partner through for a single.

| 0 | 44.5 | 44.4: Mohammed Siraj to Marco Jansen, OUT! BOWLED! Absolute beauty from Siraj and he has two to his name now. Siraj keeps hunting the stumps on a good length and gets the ball to jag back in off the deck. Marco Jansen draws the front foot out and is forced to play at it, but that creates a huge yawning gap between the bat and the pad. Just enough for the ball to sneak through the gate and crash into the stumps behind. Marco Jansen departs on a three-ball duck and South Africa slip further down to 147/7. |
| 0 | 44.4 | 44.3: Mohammed Siraj to Marco Jansen, Oopsie! Jansen didn't had any idea where the ball was heading, but just kicks it away at the last second. Back of a length, nipping back in, Marco Jansen tries to bunt it off the back foot, but the ball hits the bottom end and bounces around the stumps.

| 0 | 44.2 | 44.2: Mohammed Siraj to Marco Jansen, A sharp bouncer on the bodyline, Marco Jansen ducks under it in the nick of time. |
| 0 | 44.1 | 44.1: Mohammed Siraj to Kyle Verreynne, OUT! LBW! This one sharply nips back in from off, on a good length. Kyle Verreynne is a bit tentative to deal with it and is late bringing his bat down in time as well. By the time his bat can meet the ball, the ball smashes his front pad. A big, confident appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Kyle Verreynne takes the review after a brief chat with Stubbs, but this looks more in hope than anything else. UltraEdge confirms that the ball hit the pad first and the Ball Tracking comes up with three reds with the ball projected to hit the middle stump. The on-field decision is upheld. The Proteas have no reviews left now. Kyle Verreynne departs on 16 (36), and another blossoming partnership has been cut short as South Africa are 146/6 down now. |

| 2 | 42.6 | 42.6: Mohammed Siraj to Kyle Verreynne, Misfield! What could have been just a single adds a couple of runs to the score. Back of a length, on off, Kyle Verreynne stands tall and knocks it to the left of Sundar at extra cover. Washington runs to his left and fails to collect it cleanly on the bounce and parries it to the deep. He himself runs after it and mops it up with a slide before the ropes. Two taken. |

| 0 | 42.3 | 42.3: Mohammed Siraj to Kyle Verreynne, Just short! Gill, at catching mid on, is precisely standing for such chances. Nips in from middle, on a good length.

| 0 | 39.5 | 39.5: Ravindra Jadeja to Tristan Stubbs, Lands it full, on off, knocked to cover. |

| 1 | 38.5 | 38.5: Mohammed Siraj to Tristan Stubbs, Tailing back a bit, full in length, on middle, Stubbs flicks it to the right of deep square leg. Axar Patel is quick across the turf in the deep and keeps the batters down to a single. |

Brings the bat out in front of him to work it away on the leg side. Gets beaten on the outside edge due to the turn and a bit of bounce to get hit around the waist. Half a shout for LBW, but that looks to have pitched outside the line and appeared high as well. |

Simon Harmer continues to produce the breakthroughs for the South Africans as he gets his second wicket. This is pushed through fuller and on middle, Jurel leans on to flick but closes the bat face a tad early and hence, the ball pops up off the leading edge.

Two wickets in the over for Siraj to bring an end to the South African innings. India need 124 runs to go 1-0 up in the series! |

Temba Bavuma tries to punch off the back foot into the off side, but the ball skids low and catches the inside edge before racing away to the deep fine leg fence for a boundary.

Jadeja and Pant are having a mid-pitch discussion and they opt for a review to challenge the on-field decision. Pitching will be the key here. UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking confirms that it is pitching well outside the leg stump. The on-field decision is upheld. India burn a review. |

Pant extends his right hand up, but the ball deflects off the glove and rolls behind. Ravindra Jadeja from backward point sprints full tilt and slides to mop it up just before the ropes. Bosch is keen for the third, but Bavuma sends him back. Jadeja gets rid of the ball and throws it to the non-striker's end, where he scores a direct hit, but Bosch plonks the bat in time. The on-field umpires just want to confirm and the replay shows that Bosch just did well enough to get home. |

| 0 | 33.6 | 33.6: Kuldeep Yadav to Marco Jansen, OUT! CAUGHT! All going south for the Proteas. Kuldeep continues to bowl from around-the-wicket angle, and lands it full, in front of the off pole. Marco Jansen premeditates the sweep shot and goes for it, but only manages a thin top edge. The ball then thuds his back thigh and deflects to the left of the first slip fielder. It dips low, but KL Rahul shows excellent reflexes, despite being blinded by the keeper. He drags both hands low in front to scoop it cleanly while tumbling over. Marco Jansen goes for 13 (16) and South Africa are 91/7, leading by 61 runs. |
| 0 | 33.5 | 33.5: Kuldeep Yadav to Marco Jansen, Kuldeep comes from around the stumps and drags it on a length, on off. Marco Jansen shapes to pull but edges it onto the pad. |

| 1 | 32.6 | 32.6: Axar Patel to Marco Jansen, Spots Jansen shimmying down the track, Axar throws it wide outside off on a fuller length. Marco Jansen is down the pitch and tries to heave it away, but gets it off the inner half of the bat. Gets a single as the ball rolls towards deep mid-wicket. |
| 1 | 32.5 | 32.5: Axar Patel to Temba Bavuma, Around the off stump, on a fuller length with some flight on it.

The inside edge is induced and the ball trickles through backward square leg for a single. |
| 0 | 32.4 | 32.4: Axar Patel to Temba Bavuma, Similar line and length, Bavuma stretches ahead and keeps it out. |

| 0 | 31.4 | 31.4: Kuldeep Yadav to Temba Bavuma, A stifled appeal for LBW, but the umpire is unmoved. Kuldeep is keen to take a review and convinces the skipper, citing that there is no height and hence, Pant opts for a review. Kuldeep lands this on a fuller length, and around off. It pitches and spins back in as Temba Bavuma attempts the sweep shot, but misses to connect and wears it around the waist. Ball Tracking shows that the impact is outside off. The on-field decision is upheld and India burn a review. |
| 0 | 31.3 | 31.3: Kuldeep Yadav to Temba Bavuma, Around off and full, slower at 81.9 kph, Temba leans forward and eases it next to the strip on the off side. |

| 0 | 30.4 | 30.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Temba Bavuma, Oopsie! That must have hurt. Length ball that spits up sharply, around the off stump. Bavuma drops on one knee, trying to paddle it square, and misses completely due to some bounce. Takes a blow, flush on the outer half of the helmet. He's up and looks fine to carry on, but the mandatory concussion protocols kick in now. |
| 1 | 30.3 | 30.3: Ravindra Jadeja to Marco Jansen, Full, around off, Marco Jansen shapes to slog, but gets a thick leading edge as the ball turns away. Luckily for him, the ball lands in the vacant short third region. The man from backward point chases it to his left and a single is taken. |
| 2 | 30.2 | 30.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Marco Jansen, STRAIGHT UP AND LANDS SAFE! Marco Jansen had already given up right after playing the shot. Full ball, on the middle stump line. Marco Jansen advances and tries to loft it over the long on region, but does not get the bat under the ball properly and it is skied off the toe end. The ball hangs up for a good time over the mid-wicket region, but the sub fielder, Sai Sudharsan is a bit too far to reach for the catch. Two taken. |
| 0 | 30.1 | 30.1: Ravindra Jadeja to Marco Jansen, A big shout for LBW, but the umpire shakes his head. Clearly sliding down leg. Drifts on the leg stump, on a fuller length. Marco Jansen attempts the slog over the leg side, but misses and wears on the pads. |

| 1 | 29.2 | 29.2: Axar Patel to Marco Jansen, Jansen skips down the track to negate the spin on a fuller length and hoicks across, but gets a thick inside edge and the ball runs away to deep backward square leg for a single. |
| 6 | 29.1 | 29.1: Axar Patel to Marco Jansen, SIX! PUT AWAY! Drops it fuller, on middle. Marco Jansen reads the length nicely and brings his long levers into play. Gets down on a knee and slogs it neatly over cow corner for a six. South Africa's lead is now 53 runs! |
| 1 | 28.6 | 28.6: Ravindra Jadeja to Marco Jansen, Fuller one, on off, Marco shimmies down a bit and plays it uppishly, but wide of cover for a single. |

| 0 | 28.2 | 28.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Temba Bavuma, Darts in quicker and flatter, just around the off pole. It lands and grips away to beat the outside edge as Bavuma leans to defend. |
| 0 | 28.1 | 28.1: Ravindra Jadeja to Temba Bavuma, Full and on middle, eased to short cover by Bavuma. |
| 0 | 27.6 | 27.6: Axar Patel to Marco Jansen, Good review from Jansen! Axar bowls it flat and full, keeping the line tight, on the stumps, and getting a bit of in-drift as well. Marco Jansen leans forward to defend, but plays over the line and is struck on the front pad. A big appeal for LBW, and up goes the finger! Marco Jansen takes the review after a chat with the skipper. UltraEdge detects no spike when the ball is next to the bat, but the Ball Tracking saves Marco Jansen as the impact is outside the off stump. Hence, the on-field decision is overturned. |
| 0 | 27.5 | 27.5: Axar Patel to Kyle Verreynne, OUT! BOWLED! A needless shot from Kyle Verreynne and he gifts his wicket at the fag end of the day. Patel dishes out a fuller delivery and drifts it into the batter. Kyle Verreynne premeditates the slog sweep but is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and misses to connect. The ball sneaks below his bat and makes a mess of the stumps behind. Kyle Verreynne departs on 9 (16) and South Africa are 75/6, leading by 45 runs. |
| 0 | 27.4 | 27.4: Axar Patel to Kyle Verreynne, On a length, on middle and leg, tapped back to Axar. |
| 2 | 27.3 | 27.3: Axar Patel to Kyle Verreynne, Full and wide outside off, Kyle Verreynne drives it a bit uppishly, but to the left of the diving Washington Sundar at extra cover for a couple of runs. That wasn't too far from Sundar. |
| 4 | 27.2 | 27.2: Axar Patel to Kyle Verreynne, FOUR! Not quite convincing, but that doesn't matter as the lead grows to 43 runs for the Proteas! Flat and quick, full and outside off, Kyle Verreynne is forced to reach for it and tries to drive through cover, but gets a thick outside edge and the ball races through short third for a boundary. |
| 1 | 27.1 | 27.1: Axar Patel to Temba Bavuma, On a length, on middle, Temba Bavuma hangs back and nudges it to the right of mid on for a single. |

| 1 | 25.5 | 25.5: Axar Patel to Kyle Verreynne, DID THAT CARRY? Yes, it did! A chance put down by Dhruv Jurel, who has been excellent so far at short leg. Axar dishes out a fuller delivery and it keeps sliding into the batter from middle. Kyle Verreynne dances down the track to neutralise the spin and pushes at it, but gets a thick inside edge. The ball goes low to the right of Dhruv Jurel at shin height. He has very little time to react and does not catch it. The ball deflects off his right hand and rolls behind to the deep for a single. Jurel is in some pain as he took a stinging blow to his fingertips. |
| 0 | 25.4 | 25.4: Axar Patel to Kyle Verreynne, Fuller and straightish delivery, on off, Kyle Verreynne taps it off the front foot to point. |

| 0 | 25.1 | 25.1: Axar Patel to Temba Bavuma, A very lengthy and confident appeal for LBW, but Rod Tucker shakes his head in denial. There is a midpitch conference between the Indian players, whether there is bat involved and the timer runs out as well. An in-drifter on a fuller length, in front of the sticks. Temba Bavuma stretches forward to block, but plays over the wrong line and gets a thin inside edge onto the front pad. The replay confirms the same. |

| 0 | 22.6 | 22.6: Ravindra Jadeja to Tristan Stubbs, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Number 4 for Ravindra Jadeja and this is a beauty. Jadeja darts it in, on a length, on middle. It lands and prodigiously turns away from the batter. Tristan Stubbs hangs deep in the crease and tries to block, but plays the initial line, anticipating the ball to come straight with the arm. But it grips to beat the outside edge and smashes into the off stump. Stubbs could not quite believe it and turned around to ask Rishabh Pant what had happened before he got the answer. He departs on 5 (18) and South Africa are in disarray with 5 down and just 60 runs on the board. |

| 0 | 20.6 | 20.6: Ravindra Jadeja to Tristan Stubbs, Oh, that could have gone to hand! Fired in, full and on off, Stubbs leans ahead to defend but the ball rears up to catch the glove but drops short of the diving Dhruv Jurel at silly point to his right. |
| 0 | 20.5 | 20.5: Ravindra Jadeja to Tristan Stubbs, Wow! Not much Tristan Stubbs could have done about that. Short and this spits off the deck. Stubbs looks to play it off the back foot but the ball turns square to beat him on the outside edge. |

| 0 | 10.5 | 10.5: Ravindra Jadeja to Temba Bavuma, A lot is happening here! Full and on off, Temba Bavuma does not get his hands out in front and keeps it close to his body. Looks to defend but the ball lands and spins past the outside edge. Rishabh Pant is quick to whip the bails off whilst the other men around the bat and Jadeja appeal for caught behind. Turned down by the umpire. |
| 1 | 10.4 | 10.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Wiaan Mulder, Drops it short, on off, Mulder cuts it to deep point and gets to the other end. |

| 0 | 9.2 | 9.2: Axar Patel to Wiaan Mulder, A loud shout for LBW but turned down! Axar Patel looks convinced. He walks up to Rishabh Pant but after a deliberation, they decide against the review. The impact could be outside the line here. Angled in from around the wicket, full and around off. Mulder leans ahead to block but is beaten on the inside edge and gets hit low on the front pad. The Ball Tracking shows that the impact was outside the line, so a wise decision not to review. |
| 0 | 9.1 | 9.1: Axar Patel to Wiaan Mulder, Full and on the off pole, Wiaan defends it well. |

| 0 | 8.2 | 8.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Aiden Markram, OUT! CAUGHT! What a strange way to get out! Pushed through, full and on middle. Aiden Markram crouches on a knee and gets his hands out in front. Neither is it the full-blooded sweep nor the paddle, something in between. A top edge is induced as the ball turns away and pops up towards short leg, where Dhruv Jurel is aware of where the ball is and he leaps to snaffle it around his face. Markram falls for 4 (23). South Africa are 25/2, trailing by 5 runs. |
| 0 | 8.1 | 8.1: Ravindra Jadeja to Aiden Markram, Starts with a flighted delivery, full and around off. Aiden Markram gets on the front foot but he is not to the pitch of the ball. It turns away to catch the outer half and it dribbles towards point. |
| 0 | 7.6 | 7.6: Axar Patel to Wiaan Mulder, FOUR LEG BYES! Wayward from Axar Patel as he slides down leg, on a length. Wiaan Mulder fails to lay any bat on the tickle. The ball brushes the pads and flies past the keeper for a boundary. |

| 0 | 6.4 | 6.4: Kuldeep Yadav to Ryan Rickelton, OUT! LBW! Kuldeep Yadav strikes on the stroke of Tea! This slides on with the arm from over the wicket, full and on middle. An error on the part of Ryan Rickelton in judging the length. He goes deep in the crease to a ball he should have come forward. Plays for the non-existent turn and ends up defending outside the line. The ball sneaks past the inside edge to catch Ryan on the front pad. A confident shout and the finger is raised. Rickelton has a word with his partner but decides not to review. At Tea on Day 2, South Africa are 18/1, trailing by 12 runs. |

| 0 | 5.3 | 5.3: Axar Patel to Aiden Markram, Beaten! Slower through the air, full and inviting the batter on the front foot. Markram lunges for the block but the ball rips past the outside edge. |
| 0 | 5.2 | 5.2: Axar Patel to Aiden Markram, Fired in from around the wicket, full and on the off pole. Aiden Markram gets forward and defends it off the inner half of the bat. |

| 0 | 4.5 | 4.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Aiden Markram, Pulls the length back but the line stays the same, around the off pole. Aiden Markram leaves the ball alone. |
| 0 | 4.4 | 4.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Aiden Markram, A bit fuller in the corridor of off, Markram lets it be. |

| 0 | 3.5 | 3.5: Axar Patel to Ryan Rickelton, Sliding across, short and on off, Rickelton stays back to defend. |
| 0 | 3.4 | 3.4: Axar Patel to Ryan Rickelton, Very full, on middle, Ryan Rickelton knocks it back to Axar. |
| 1 | 3.3 | 3.3: Axar Patel to Aiden Markram, Nice and full, at the sticks, Aiden Markram lunges to defend. The ball rolls off the inside edge wide of mid-wicket for a single. |
| 0 | 3.2 | 3.2: Axar Patel to Aiden Markram, Speared in at 89.3 kph, on off, Markram goes back to a full ball and shapes to punch it away on the off side. Gets an inside edge onto the pads. |
| 0 | 3.1 | 3.1: Axar Patel to Aiden Markram, At the stumps, on a nagging length, Aiden Markram rocks back to keep it out. |
| 0 | 2.6 | 2.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Ryan Rickelton, Angled onto the bodyline, on a good length. Ryan Rickelton does well to tuck it into the leg side. |
| 4 | 2.5 | 2.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR! Top shot! And that will relieve Ryan Rickelton a lot. Bumrah errs in line and length. It is a good-length delivery, outside off. Ryan Rickelton gets the ball at a comfortable height and cashes onto the width before cutting it through backward point for a boundary. |
| 0 | 2.4 | 2.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Ryan Rickelton, Length, on off, worked off the back foot to backward point. |
| 0 | 2.3 | 2.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR LEG BYES! A lot happening out there! Bangs it short, does Bumrah, and it cuts back in prodigiously off the deck with a puff of dust. Ryan Rickelton is pinned in the crease and is taken by surprise. He tries to duck under it but has very little room to react. Takes his eyes off the ball and misses to connect. He gets slammed around his midriff and the ball deflects over short fine leg before hugging the fence behind. We are just halfway Day 2, and the pitch has made the batters dance to its tune already. |
| 0 | 2.2 | 2.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Ryan Rickelton, A huge appeal for LBW, but the umpire shakes his head. Jasprit Bumrah, right after appealing, gestures that there might be an edge. Pant thinks otherwise, but gets no support from others, and hence, the Indians do not go upstairs. This one scoots low off the deck, on a good length, lasered onto the leg stump line. Ryan Rickelton drags the bat in front with not much foot movement, gets cramped up for space and gets a thin under edge onto the front pad. The UltraEdge confirms that there is bat involved. |
| 0 | 2.1 | 2.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Ryan Rickelton, Speared onto the stumps, on a good length. Ryan Rickelton lines up for a flick shot, but finds the man at short mid-wicket. |
| 0 | 1.6 | 1.6: Axar Patel to Aiden Markram, Keeps the stumps in play, flatter and fuller. Markram uses the depth of the crease to keep it out. |
| 0 | 1.5 | 1.5: Axar Patel to Aiden Markram, Darted in from around the wicket and this is quicker, short and on middle. Aiden Markram presses back to flick it away. Gets an inside edge onto the pads. |
| 1 | 1.4 | 1.4: Axar Patel to Ryan Rickelton, Floated up, on middle, Rickelton leans ahead and eases it to long on for a single. |
| 0 | 1.3 | 1.3: Axar Patel to Ryan Rickelton, On middle and leg, Ryan Rickelton pushes it back to Axar. |
| 0 | 1.2 | 1.2: Axar Patel to Ryan Rickelton, Stays around the wicket for the left-hander, this is speared in at the pads. Ryan Rickelton pads it away. |
| 1 | 1.1 | 1.1: Axar Patel to Aiden Markram, A little bit of turn upfront for Patel. Short and wide on off, Markram goes on the back foot and cuts it to the left of deep point for a single. |
| 0 | 0.6 | 0.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Ryan Rickelton, Goes fuller this time and this nips back a bit, around off, Ryan Rickelton plays it with a straight bat to mid on. |
| 0 | 0.5 | 0.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Ryan Rickelton, Angled into the left-hander, on a good length, Ryan Rickelton is beaten on the flick and gets hit on the unprotected area between the front pad and the thigh pad. |

| 2 | 0.3 | 0.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Ryan Rickelton, South Africa and Ryan Rickelton are underway! On a back of a length and width offered on off. Rickelton gets on top of the bounce and punches it between cover and point for a couple of runs. |
| 0 | 0.2 | 0.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Ryan Rickelton, Moving away in the air but not close enough to make the batter play, on a good length, Rickelton shoulders arms. |
| 0 | 0.1 | 0.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Ryan Rickelton, Charges in from around the wicket and lands it on a good length, in the channel on off. Ryan Rickelton watches it all the way and makes the leave. |
| 0 | 34.6 | 34.6: Keshav Maharaj to Mohammed Siraj, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Jubilation for South Africa. Disappointment for India on home soil in the longest format. Floated up around off from round the wicket. Siraj lunges forward to defend but the ball grips and turns, catching the outside edge. It dips low towards Aiden Markram at the first slip, but he maintains his cool and takes it low to his left. Keshav Maharaj sprints across the park, and all the South African players are cock a hoop, and why not, as they have defeated India in Test cricket, in India, after 15 long years. SOUTH AFRICA BEAT INDIA BY 30 RUNS! |
| 0 | 34.5 | 34.5: Keshav Maharaj to Axar Patel, OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND GONE! Keshav Maharaj has the final laugh and the gamble to take the attack on Maharaj does not pay off for Axar this time around. Keshav drops it full again, but slows it a bit through the air cunningly. It spins in from middle and Axar chances his arm once again, but goes through the shot a bit too early. The ball is skied up off the top edge and hangs up and over mid-wicket. Temba Bavuma from the inner ring backtracks it and takes a fine catch under pressure. Axar Patel departs on 26 (17) and India are 93/8. South Africa are just 1 wicket away from a historic win. |
| 6 | 34.4 | 34.4: Keshav Maharaj to Axar Patel, SIX! Goes all the way! This is some sensational batting from Axar Patel. Keshav bowls it a bit too full, on middle and leg. Axar Patel gets the ball into the slot and tonks it over wide long on for a cracking six. |
| 0 | 34.3 | 34.3: Keshav Maharaj to Axar Patel, Sharp turn into the batter, on a length. Axar Patel is rushed onto the back foot, and is cramped up for room, but manages to fend it to point. |
| 6 | 34.2 | 34.2: Keshav Maharaj to Axar Patel, SIX! CLEAN STRIKE! Maharaj drops full and it turns into the batter, Axar Patel picks the length in a trice and slogs it powerfully over deep square leg for a huge six. It has gone a few rows back. |
| 4 | 34.1 | 34.1: Keshav Maharaj to Axar Patel, FOUR! Dear me! Ryan Rickelton just didn't pick it up and a boundary for India after 76 balls, as per Dale Steyn on air. Dropped fuller by Keshav, on middle. Axar Patel gets down on a knee but mistimes the slog sweep to deep mid-wicket. However, Ryan Rickelton stationed in the deep, initially moves to his right, misjudging the trajectory and by the time he could amend himself, the ball races into the fence. Keshav hurls a mouthful in frustration as well. |
| 0 | 33.6 | 33.6: Simon Harmer to Jasprit Bumrah, Full, on off, knocked to the bowler's left. |
| 0 | 33.5 | 33.5: Simon Harmer to Jasprit Bumrah, Oh, just short! Tossed up nicely, on off, and full. Jasprit Bumrah is early into the drive and the ball pops off the outside edge, but luckily for him, it lands a few yards in front of Marco Jansen at backward point. |
| 0 | 33.4 | 33.4: Simon Harmer to Jasprit Bumrah, He opens the face to the full ball and works it to point. |
| 0 | 33.3 | 33.3: Simon Harmer to Jasprit Bumrah, Spins in from off, on a fuller length, Bumrah gets on the front foot and defends it back to the bowler. |
| 0 | 33.2 | 33.2: Simon Harmer to Kuldeep Yadav, OUT! LBW! Number 4 for Simon Harmer. He delivers it on a fractionally fuller length and gets a good bit of bounce and turn from middle. Kuldeep Yadav is drawn forward to defend but plays inside the line as the ball turns right across the face of the bat to crash on the back thigh. A big appeal for LBW and up goes the index finger. This looks dead straight, but Kuldeep has gone upstairs to review it. UltraEdge shows nothing and the Ball Tracking presents three reds. Trapped in front. Kuldeep is gone on 1 (13) and India are really on the cusp of a stinging defeat as they are 77/7, needing another 47 runs to win. |
| 1 | 33.1 | 33.1: Simon Harmer to Axar Patel, Fullish delivery, on middle and leg, Axar Patel chips it wide of mid-wicket for a single. |
| 0 | 32.6 | 32.6: Aiden Markram to Kuldeep Yadav, Full and straight this time, on off, Kuldeep Yadav leans forward and blocks right under the bat. |
| 0 | 32.5 | 32.5: Aiden Markram to Kuldeep Yadav, Identically bowled, Kuldeep does the same as the ball spins past him. |
| 0 | 32.4 | 32.4: Aiden Markram to Kuldeep Yadav, A yard behind fuller length, outside off, Kuldeep Yadav lets it be. |
| 0 | 32.3 | 32.3: Aiden Markram to Kuldeep Yadav, Serves it full and around off, Kuldeep is solid in defence on the front foot. |
| 1 | 32.2 | 32.2: Aiden Markram to Axar Patel, On a good length, outside off, Axar Patel gets it past point off the back foot for a single. |
| 0 | 32.1 | 32.1: Aiden Markram to Axar Patel, Spin and bounce! Pitches in front of middle, and spins across the batter with a vicious bounce on it. Axar Patel is flummoxed on the front foot defence and is beaten all ends up on the outside edge. |
| 0 | 31.6 | 31.6: Simon Harmer to Kuldeep Yadav, Wide outside off on a length. Kuldeep lets this ball go. |
| 0 | 31.5 | 31.5: Simon Harmer to Kuldeep Yadav, A big appeal for LBW, but the umpire is unmoved. He may have just jammed down on its way. Yes, just about managed to get a bat on it, did Kuldeep. Was a yorker into the stumps, drifting further in. Kuldeep tapped the front foot out to block, and just got a thick inside edge onto the front pad before the ball rolled to the leg side. Well, well, the UltraEdge shows a spike to suggest that the ball brushed the right boot first before it went to hit the bat but at the same time, the bat was jammed onto the turf. Did that result in the spike? |
| 0 | 31.4 | 31.4: Simon Harmer to Kuldeep Yadav, In and around off, on a length. It grips away from Kuldeep and the southpaw is content leaving it. |
| 0 | 31.3 | 31.3: Simon Harmer to Kuldeep Yadav, Full and on middle, Kuldeep Yadav stretches forward to defend. |
| 0 | 31.2 | 31.2: Simon Harmer to Kuldeep Yadav, Slowish delivery, on a length outside off, at 88.7 kph. Kuldeep covers the stumps, going on the back foot and lets it be. |

| 1 | 30.6 | 30.6: Aiden Markram to Axar Patel, Around middle and off, Axar Patel works this full ball, against the spin, and down to long on for a single. India need exactly 50 runs to win! |
| 1 | 30.5 | 30.5: Aiden Markram to Kuldeep Yadav, Full and on the stumps, Kuldeep sweeps it fine to the leg side for a single. |
| 0 | 30.4 | 30.4: Aiden Markram to Kuldeep Yadav, Full and on off, blocked off the front foot to silly point. |
| 0 | 30.3 | 30.3: Aiden Markram to Kuldeep Yadav, Outside off, left alone as it spins away. |
| 0 | 30.2 | 30.2: Aiden Markram to Washington Sundar, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Markram continues to be the golden arm in this South African outfit. He drops it full and it dips on the batter, around off. It lands and spins away as Sundar gets on the front foot to defend. Only manages to get off the outside edge, near the shoulder of the bat. The ball carries low to the front-left of Simon Harmer, who bends low and takes a good reaction catch at first slip. A similar kind of dismissal for Sundar as in the first inning. Washington Sundar departs after a fighting knock of 31 off 92 balls and India are pegged back to 72/6, needing 52 more runs. |
| 1 | 30.1 | 30.1: Aiden Markram to Axar Patel, Too full, on middle, Axar Patel gets close to the ball on the front foot and drills it to long on for a single. |

The man from backward point chases it to his right and keeps the batters down to a single. |
| 0 | 29.5 | 29.5: Simon Harmer to Washington Sundar, Attacks the off stump, full in length. Washington Sundar with a huge stride forward, blocks it alertly. |
| 0 | 29.4 | 29.4: Simon Harmer to Washington Sundar, Very full, around off, carved out to extra cover. |
| 0 | 29.3 | 29.3: Simon Harmer to Washington Sundar, Too wide outside off, spins further away. Sundar shows no interest to play at it. |
| 0 | 29.2 | 29.2: Simon Harmer to Washington Sundar, On the stumps and full, this is pushed back to Harmer. |

| 1 | 27.5 | 27.5: Simon Harmer to Axar Patel, On a fuller length, on middle, Axar Patel drives off the inner half through mid on for a single. |
| 2 | 27.4 | 27.4: Simon Harmer to Axar Patel, On a length, on middle, Patel hangs back and tucks it through mid-wicket. Three fielders converge from different directions, but it is Tony de Zorzi from the mid-wicket region who slides to mop it up before the ropes. Two taken. |
| 0 | 27.3 | 27.3: Simon Harmer to Axar Patel, In-dipper, full and on off, Patel leans forward and pushes it back to the bowler. |
| 0 | 27.2 | 27.2: Simon Harmer to Axar Patel, Fuller on middle, Axar defends it off the front foot. |
| 0 | 27.1 | 27.1: Simon Harmer to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! LBW! Harmer continues to weave his magic and is pumped up to bits. Simon drifts one into the batter, and bowls it a bit too full in length. Ravindra Jadeja gets on the front foot to defend, but is struck on the full on his boot. A huge, confident appeal for LBW and the umpire obliges. However, Jadeja is a bit perplexed and opts for a review straight away. Has it hit Jadeja outside the line? UltraEdge shows that the ball has struck flush on the boot. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds and India lose another wicket. Ravindra Jadeja walks back for 18 (26) and India are 64/5, needing another 60 runs to win. |

| 1 | 26.3 | 26.3: Keshav Maharaj to Washington Sundar, Nicely flighted up from Maharaj, on middle, Sundar drills the full ball to long on for a single. |
| 2 | 26.2 | 26.2: Keshav Maharaj to Washington Sundar, Outside off, on a fuller length, Washington Sundar crisply drives it to the left of cover for a couple of runs. Simon Harmer from long off runs across to his right, tumbles and cuts it off to prevent any other run. Harmer feels his right shoulder after releasing the throw. |
| 0 | 26.1 | 26.1: Keshav Maharaj to Washington Sundar, Full and quick, outside off, Washington Sundar spreads on the crease and tries to smash it through cover, but the ball spins in and is dragged off the inner half of the bat to the left of the bowler. |

| 1 | 24.6 | 24.6: Keshav Maharaj to Ravindra Jadeja, On a length again, at 85.2 kph, and Jadeja tucks it off the back foot to deep square leg for a single. |
| 0 | 24.5 | 24.5: Keshav Maharaj to Ravindra Jadeja, BEATEN! Good variation. On a flatter trajectory, drifting across the batter, on a length. Ravindra Jadeja is forced to play with the angle and is beaten on the outside edge as he looks to block. |
| 2 | 24.4 | 24.4: Keshav Maharaj to Ravindra Jadeja, This time, they will get a couple of runs! Floated fuller, on the stumps, Jadeja flicks it along the ground to the left of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs. |

| 1 | 24.2 | 24.2: Keshav Maharaj to Washington Sundar, The call is for two, but they settle with a single only.

Ravindra Jadeja takes a massive stride forward and sweeps it through backward square leg, beating the deep square leg fielder to his left for a boundary. India need 76 runs to win! |
| 0 | 21.1 | 21.1: Simon Harmer to Ravindra Jadeja, Tossed up, at 91.9 kph, full and on middle. Ravindra Jadeja employs the sweep shot, but it goes off his gloves to the vacant leg slip region. |

| 0 | 20.1 | 20.1: Marco Jansen to Washington Sundar, Oof! This doesn't rise as much as Sundar anticipated. Short of a good length, angling onto the bodyline. Washington Sundar has very little room to duck under and does not sway away in time. The ball jars his arm guard and rolls to square leg. They cross for a leg bye. |
| 0 | 19.6 | 19.6: Simon Harmer to Ravindra Jadeja, Slanted across the batter, on a fuller length, Ravindra Jadeja strides forward to defend, but the ball grazes the inside edge before clipping the front pad and rolls to short fine leg. |

| 0 | 19.4 | 19.4: Simon Harmer to Rishabh Pant, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! This was coming. Rishabh Pant was all at sea in the battle against Simon Harmer and it is the Proteas off-spinner who has come up trumps. After firing in the previous ball, this is a bit slower and offers flight, full and on middle. Pant looks to firm the drive down the ground but ends up spooning it back towards Harmer, who makes no mistake. Simon roars in delight and this is a massive scalp for South Africa. With Shubman Gill ruled out, India are effectively 38/5, needing 86 more runs. |
| 0 | 19.3 | 19.3: Simon Harmer to Rishabh Pant, Nearly trapped in front! Speared in with the arm at 95 kph, on middle. Rishabh does not pick it from the hand and reads it off the surface. Hurriedly drops his bat down on the ball to eke out an inside edge. |

| 0 | 17.1 | 17.1: Simon Harmer to Rishabh Pant, Oh, that kicked up! Hangs it up there, on a length, on off, Rishabh Pant gets on the front foot to block but the ball lands and turns away with bounce to catch the batter on the left shoulder. It lobs in front of slip. |
| 0 | 16.6 | 16.6: Marco Jansen to Washington Sundar, Goes slightly wide on the crease and this is fuller in length, outside off. Washington shoulders arms. |
| 0 | 16.5 | 16.5: Marco Jansen to Washington Sundar, On a length, outside off, Sundar lets it be. |

| 1 | 16.2 | 16.2: Marco Jansen to Rishabh Pant, In the air...but safe! Jansen bends his back and bangs it in short. Not wide enough for Pant to free his arms and flay it. He goes through with the shot and it is skied towards deep backward point. Corbin Bosch in the deep runs to his left and fails to get there in time. Bosch collects it on the bounce. A single taken. The commentators on air discuss that Bosch could have gone for the catch as the ball was in the air for a long, long time. Instead, he ran sideways to cut it off. Maybe he didn't quite judge the trajectory properly. |
| 1 | 16.1 | 16.1: Marco Jansen to Washington Sundar, In and around the off stump, on a short of a length, Sundar pushes it wide of cover off the back foot for a single. |

| 0 | 15.4 | 15.4: Keshav Maharaj to Rishabh Pant, Taken at backward short leg and South Africa are celebrating! The finger stays down and after a discussion, Temba Bavuma takes the review. Tossed up by Maharaj from over the wicket, full and landing outside the line of the off stump. Rishabh Pant reaches out in front with his hands and gets low for the reverse. The ball drops on him and bounces over the bat. It lobs off the forearm and Tony de Zorzi takes it with ease. The UltraEdge confirms that there is no bat or glove involved. It has indeed come off the forearm. LBW is also checked but the Ball Tracking shows that the impact is outside the line. South Africa have now lost 2 out of their 3 reviews. |
| 1 | 15.3 | 15.3: Keshav Maharaj to Washington Sundar, Full and on off, whipped to wide long on for a single. |

| 0 | 14.6 | 14.6: Simon Harmer to Dhruv Jurel, OUT! CAUGHT! An innocuous delivery but it still fetches Simon Harmer a wicket. South Africa will take it both hands. Dhruv Jurel stands there in disbelief. A real drag down from Harmer, on middle. Jurel's eyes light up and he swivels in the crease for the pull. The ball comes on a lot slower than he expected. He is done with the bat swing when the ball catches the toe-end of the blade. It goes straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket, where Corbin Bosch takes a reverse cup catch around his chest. Jurel falls for 13 (34). India are effectively 33/4, needing 91 more runs to win. |
| 1 | 14.5 | 14.5: Simon Harmer to Washington Sundar, Shorter and around leg, Washington nudges it in front of deep backward square leg. Dhruv Jurel is keen for the second but Tristan Stubbs is quick to get rid of the ball. Just a single off it then. |
