Just misses the diving first slip! Siraj gets the better of Miller, but the inside goes past first slip for a boundary. SA have regained control

Mukesh misses the yorker and Markram obliges! Gets the perfect elevation as he picks this one and deposits this over wide long-on. SA are well and truly cruising

SA: 96/1 (7.4)

IND vs SA Live Score: That was close!

Close escape for Markram! Jadeja almost squeezed this one but an outside edge was enough to beat the stumps. Gets the boundary as well. The umpire has changed the ball due to the extremely wet conditions.

IND: 83/1 (6.2)

IND vs SA Live Score: Fearless batting from Hendricks!

Hendricks finds the gap once again! Nothing seems to be going in India’s favour at the moment. Arshdeep looks clueless. He guides it late to beat deep point to his left

14, 20, 4 and now 13 in Mukesh’s first over! This is colossal batting from the Proteas. Jadeja made some recovery but South Africa have come out of the blocks real quick

SA: 56 (4)

IND vs SA Live Score: Run Out!

That’s a terrible mix-up! Breetzke has to walk back. Confusion between the batters, and India have the breakthrough from an unlikely source.

On a length around middle and leg, and Breetzke has swiped this over fine leg. Another expensive over so far for India. SA are on the charge.

IND: 142/5 (15.2)

IND vs SA Live Score: SKY holes out!

IND: 125/4 (13.5)

IND: 93/3 (10.3)

IND vs SA Live Score: Vintage from Surya!

SKY makes some room and paddles this over backward square leg for a boundary! Vintage SKY on offer. 

IND: 73/3 (8.1)

Struck on the pads and Gill gets his marching orders! Goes for the DRS but this looks plumb. Replay shows three red lights. Both openers out for a duck

IND vs SA Live Score: Dropped!

Dropped by Miller this time! Similar shot, but this time it was struck firmly by Tilak Varma. Miller thought he had it but the ball fell out of his hand. Big let off for India

IND: 1/1 (0.4)

Cut hard by Jaiswal and Miller takes a blinder! Jasiwal stands tall but still couldn’t get on top of the bounce. Caught by Miller at backward point

IND vs SA Live Score: Here’s what Shubman Gill had to say about the series!

“This series is very important. There aren’t many international T20s before the World Cup. In terms of that very important series. I have played just about 11 T20Is, not many under my belt. I’ll be hoping to get some international T20 experience. Just want to be in a good mental space, then it’s just about executing the shots, especially in this format. [Pressure] At the end of the day, it’s all about bat and ball. It’s all about playing for the team. We have such as strong batting lineup, gives freedom for all to play the game. [On the pull shot] I started practicing the shot from the younger days, I started with a plastic ball on a cement pitch. It was my father’s idea,” Gill said ahead of the toss.

IND vs SA Live Score: All eyes on Rinku Singh

Kolkata Knight Riders star Rinku Singh grabbed a lot of limelight with his heroic knocks in the series against Australia. The 25-year-old batter scored 105 runs in five matches at a strike rate of 175. He will now look to continue his batting prowess against South Africa.
