7.2 : India:56/3

7.2: T Shamsi to M Pandey, Floated delivery around middle, Pandey gets down to play the slog but the ball turns in and takes the inner half. Races away through mid-wicket but good effort in the deep again means that they will have to settle for only two.

6.6: JP Duminy to M Pandey, Good stop, Dala! Raina heaves a tossed up ball across the line and it seems like a boundary but Junior in the deep mid-wicket region hares across to his left and puts it a dive to save two for his side. Duminy has bowled another good over here, 13 in 2 for him with a wicket of Dhawan.

10:04 PM (IST)

6.6 : India:51/3

6.6: JP Duminy to M Pandey, Wide! Tossed up around middle and leg, Manish looks to flick but it turns away and the keeper takes the bails off. No appeal as Pandey's foot was always in.

10:00 PM (IST)

5.6 : India:45/3

10:00 PM (IST)

5.5 : India:45/3

5.5: J Dala to M Pandey, Back of a length outside off, Manish taps it in front of cover-point. 5 dots, can he finish it with a maiden?

09:59 PM (IST)

5.4 : India:45/3

5.4: J Dala to M Pandey, Manish eases the drive straight to mid off.

09:59 PM (IST)

Manish Pandey is in next.

09:58 PM (IST)

5.3 : India:45/3

5.3: J Dala to V Kohli, OUT! Virat Kohli comes and leaves early. Big, big wicket for the hosts! Sunil Gavaskar on air says, South Africa haven't seen the back of this man often on this tour and will be really elated now. Dala is really pumped up, as he gets his second of the evening. Hurls it on a back of a length and gets it to straighten a touch with some extra bounce. Kohli gets back to probably steer it away but the ball takes some parts of his gloves and settles into Klaasen's mitts. Now then, can South Africa capitalize on this excellent beginning? They have got a real chance as they have nipped out the top three Indian batsmen who have hurt them big time.

09:57 PM (IST)

5.2 : India:45/2

5.2: J Dala to V Kohli, Good length delivery outside off, Kohli steers it with an angled bat towards backward point.

4.5: JP Duminy to S Raina, Darts it around leg, Raina fails to put it away and gets hit on the pads.

09:55 PM (IST)

09:55 PM (IST)

Virat Kohli is the new man in, replacing Dhawan.

09:52 PM (IST)

4.2 : India:44/2

4.2: JP Duminy to S Dhawan, OUT! Wicket off a full toss! Would you believe it? Duminy will be thanking his stars as you don't deserve a wicket on this sort of a delivery. Doles out a full toss, Shikhar dances down the track and hits it hard but fails to clear the in-field. Spoons a simple catch to Farhaan Behardien who backtracks a bit at mid on. He coped a blow a while back and is seen walking off the field after the catch. This isn't good for his side but for now, they can celebrate as they got rid of dangerous Dhawan.

09:52 PM (IST)

4.1 : India:44/1

4.1: JP Duminy to S Dhawan, FOUR! Pummeled! Duminy drops it short to begin with, Dhawan is quick to rock back and pull it over mid-wicket for a boundary to welcome the opposition skipper.

09:51 PM (IST)

Chris Morris is taken out of the attack and JP Duminy replaces him. This is interesting move from the skipper.

09:50 PM (IST)

3.6 : India:40/1

3.6: D Paterson to S Raina, FOUR! This is poor bowling from Paterson, concedes 12 off his first over! Drifts it on the pads, Raina gets inside the line and clips it down to fine leg for back-to-back boundaries. India are off to a flying start!

09:49 PM (IST)

3.5 : India:36/1

3.5: D Paterson to S Raina, FOUR! Whipped away! Gets a fuller delivery on the pads, Raina just whips it over mid-wicket to find the fence.

09:48 PM (IST)

3.4 : India:32/1

3.4: D Paterson to S Raina, That must have hurt! Raina backs away to a length delivery and slams it really hard towards Behardien at mid off who gets a bad bounce and the ball hits him near the box. Not good for anyone!

09:48 PM (IST)

3.3 : India:32/1

3.3: D Paterson to S Raina, FOUR! Nicely done! Back of a length delivery, wider on off, Raina makes some room and steers it with an open bat face behind point for a boundary.

09:47 PM (IST)

How fortunes change in a blink in T20s! Chris Morris had troubled Shikhar Dhawan in his first over, bowling a maiden. And in his next, the Indian clobbered him for 20 runs with two sixes and two fours. Score 28/1

09:47 PM (IST)

3.2 : India:28/1

3.2: D Paterson to S Raina, The batsman shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot.

3.1: D Paterson to S Raina, Length ball outside off, defended back to Paterson.

09:46 PM (IST)

Dane Paterson is brought into the attack.

09:45 PM (IST)

2.6 : India:28/1

2.6: C Morris to S Dhawan, Tries to flick this fuller length delivery but misses to wear it on the pads. Big over from Morris, my colleague says, has Morris nullified the maiden over that he bowled to start the match? Indeed, he has.

09:44 PM (IST)

2.5 : India:28/1

2.5: C Morris to S Dhawan, SIX! What a massive hit that is! Maybe, this was the slower one from Morris to deceive Dhawan but the southpaw gave it back in some style. Waits and then picks the bones outta that one to send it high and long way back over the fine leg fence. 20 already from the over.

09:44 PM (IST)

2.4 : India:22/1

2.4: C Morris to S Dhawan, Another delivery on leg, Dhawan tries clipping it away but gets it off the pads towards the right side of the keeper.

09:43 PM (IST)

2.3 : India:22/1

2.3: C Morris to S Dhawan, FOUR! 14 from the first three balls! A bit short, this time on the other side of the wicket. Shikhar gets back and cracks it square on the off side. Finds the gap and in spite of the fielder giving it a chase, the ball finds the fence.

09:42 PM (IST)

2.2 : India:18/1

2.2: C Morris to S Dhawan, SIX! More runs! It's gone the distance! Another short ball on middle and leg, Dhawan swivels and just help/pulls it over backward square leg for a maximum, first one of the match.

09:42 PM (IST)

2.1 : India:12/1

2.1: C Morris to S Dhawan, FOUR! Shot! Dhawan was kept quiet in the previous over but not anymore. Gets back to a short ball and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary to open his tally.

09:40 PM (IST)

1.6 : India:8/1

1.6: J Dala to S Raina, Fuller delivery on the stumps, Suresh drives it past mid off. The outfield isn't the quickest due to the rain and hence they will get only a couple. 8 runs off the over with a wicket from it.

09:40 PM (IST)

1.5 : India:6/1

1.5: J Dala to S Raina, Defended off the back foot comfortably.

09:40 PM (IST)

OUT! Junior Dala strikes with the first ball! Rohit Sharma out lbw for a first-ball duck. India 0/1

09:39 PM (IST)

1.4 : India:6/1

1.4: J Dala to S Raina, FOUR! Edged and through! Dala slants it away on a length around off, it straightens a bit off the pitch. Raina looks to poke at it and gets a thick edge which flies wide of the man at second slip for a streaky boundary.

09:38 PM (IST)

1.3 : India:2/1

1.3: J Dala to S Raina, Raina and India are away! Pushes the length ball through cover-point and gets a brace.

09:38 PM (IST)

1.2 : India:0/1

1.2: J Dala to S Raina, Raina taps it in front of cover, wants to get off the mark but is rightly sent back by Dhawan.

09:38 PM (IST)

Suresh Raina is the new man in, replacing Sharma. He didn't have a good outing in his comeback game. Can he redeem himself today?
