13.5 overs (6 Runs) Six!
13.4 overs (2 Runs) 2 runs.
13.3 overs (1 Run) Short and outside off, cut away firmly toward sweeper cover for a single.
13.2 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Risky but turns out positive for Tristan Stubbs. On a length and on middle, Stubbs attempts the reverse sweep but gets a top edge that goes over the keeper’s head. Arshdeep Singh tries to chase it down from inside the 30-yard circle but is well beaten.
13.1 overs (1 Run) Quicker and shorter around leg stump, Andile Phehlukwayo goes back in his crease and heaves it away to deep square leg for a single.
Ravindra Jadeja to bowl the penultimate over. He has conceded 15 runs in his first two.
12.6 overs (1 Run) Pitched up on the off stump, this is driven down nicely to long off for one.
Andile Phehlukwayo walks out to bat now.
12.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Not over yet! Mukesh Kumar looks for the toe-crushing yorker yet again but misses his mark yet again as well. This one turns out to be a juicy, low full toss on the pads but David Miller fails to get the connection on the flick. The ball goes flat toward deep mid-wicket where Mohammed Siraj moves to his left and takes a sharp catch. South Africa lose their fifth wicket and now 13 runs are needed off 13 balls.
12.4 overs (6 Runs) SIX! BANG! David Miller with the blow that all but seals the deal for South Africa. Goes full again and looks to attack the toes but misses his mark yet again. Miller clears the front leg and whips it away well over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. 13 needed now off 14 balls.
12.3 overs (1 Run) Good bowling! Full and straight, right in the blockhole, Tristan Stubbs can only manage to hit it down to long on for run.
12.2 overs (2 Runs) Gets away with it! Full again on middle, just missing the yorker, Tristan Stubbs gets the front leg out of the way and drills it down to long on for a couple of quick runs.
12.2 overs (2 Runs) Nice and full on leg stump, clipped away to deep mid-wicket for a single. Oh, no! The umpire stretches out one hand signalling a no ball as Mukesh Kumar has overstepped here. A Free Hit will follow and this could be a big moment in the game. Not good bowling from Mukesh though as he makes a cardinal sin.
12.1 overs (0 Run) Misses out! Mukesh Kumar serves it very full, a low full toss in fact and around leg stump. David Miller doesn’t pick up the pace of the ball and misses the flick, getting rapped on the pads. The bowler appeals loudly for LBW but it is turned down. Suryakumar Yadav does take the review as he should at this stage and there’s nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking shows that the impact is outside the line of leg stump and the onfield decision is retained.
Strategic-Break! The equation is pretty simple for South Africa as they need 24 runs in the last three overs. David Miller and Tristan Stubbs will be hoping that they finish the job without any more hiccups. India knows that they can put pressure on the hosts by taking a couple of quick wickets and we have always seen a break in play helping the fielding side more than the batting side. An exciting finish to this game is coming up our way.
11.6 overs (1 Run) Hard length on the pads, tucked away neatly to deep mid-wicket for a run.
11.5 overs (2 Runs) Tried for the yorker but missed the length, David Miller flicks this on the full towards Mukesh Kumar at the deep mid-wicket diving to his left, saving a boundary! Two runs conceded.
11.4 overs (1 Run) Bowled back of a length and outside off, Tristan Stubbs slashes at it and gets it behind point but Ravindra Jadeja makes a good stop diving to his right and keeps it down to a single.
11.3 overs (0 Run) Shorter one pitched into the deck, Tristan Stubbs nudges it to mid off for no run.
11.2 overs (1 Run) Very full and targeting the toes, David Miller pushes it out down to long on and picks up a single.
11.1 overs (4 Runs) EDGED AND FOUR! This has been the story throughout this inning for Mohammed Siraj. Pitches this one up on a good length around off, slanting it across the left-hander. David Miller goes after the drive but gets a thick outside edge that goes wide of the diving man at first slip and even beats third man for a boundary.
10.6 overs (1 Run) Holds it back a touch and bowls it on a shorter length on middle and leg, David Miller stays back and punches it away down to wide long on for just a single.
