  1. SA 83-2

    The next ball is beautifully driven for four, obviously.

  2. dropped catch

    Kapp dropped on 25

    SA 79-2

    Big moment!

    Marizanne Kapp chips one down the ground towards long-on where sub fielder Radha Yadav puts it down.

    They scamper through for two.

  3. SA 77-2

    Target 159

    10 off the over.

    South Africa need a few more overs like that.

  4. Not out

    Big inside edge.

    Tazmin Brits missed a reverse sweep, but survives.

  5. SA review

    Big appeal... and given!

    But Brits has reviewed straight away. She must've hit it.

  6. Annesha Ghosh
    India cricket journalist on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That is a glorious shot. That is laying a marker down.

  7. 6 runs

    SA 73-2

    FINALLY.

    Tazmin Brits launches Deepti Sharma down the ground for her first six.

  8. SA 67-2

    Target 159

    Marizanne Kapp ramps for fourGetty Images

    Marizanne Kapp got the memo.

    Down on one knee, ramping Nandni Sharma for four before sweeping behind square for another couple.

  9. Firdose Moonda
    Cricinfo's South Africa correspondent on Test Match Special

    I am very impressed by what I've seen from Nandni Sharma. She seems to have all the attributes.

  10. SA 60-2

    Tazmin Brits chips one up in the air, but the fielder at long-on doesn't put in much of an effort to get there.

    India are probably thinking they're better off keeping her out there than taking any wickets. South Africa are losing the game for themselves with this approach.

  11. SA 59-2

    Target 159

    Prema Rawat responds well to close out the over.

    At the halfway mark, South Africa are in a pickle. They need to go at 10 an over from now on.

  12. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Prema Rawat just seems to be tightening up a little bit as she's being targeted by Marizanne Kapp.

  13. 6 runs

    SA 55-2

    Nandini Sharma of India attempts a catch on the boundary during the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Group A match between South Africa and India at Old Trafford Cricket GroundGetty Images

    Slog sweep... six... just!

    It's a sensational effort from Nandni Sharma on the square-leg boundary. Plenty of ground to cover, and she pulls off a full-length dive to get one hand to it but ends up parrying it over the ropes.

    Too harsh to call a drop but it looks like this is the over that South Africa are targeting.

  14. SA 49-2

    Better.

    Up and over cover, a lovely way for Marizanne Kapp to find the boundary.

  15. SA 45-2

    Target 159

    Five singles off another quiet over, bowled by Arundhati Reddy.

    Tazmin Brits has caught up to a run-a-ball 20 but Marizanne Kapp has five from 11. Something's got to give.

  16. Firdose Moonda
    Cricinfo's South Africa correspondent on Test Match Special

    It feels like South Africa have to force a couple of things and that is why we're seeing reverse sweeps and we may see a ramp shortly too.

  17. SA 40-2

    Target 159

    Eeek, that was a close one.

    Tazmin Brits attempts the reverse again but doesn't get hold of it, but Sree Charani can't get there at short third despite backpedalling frantically.

    They run two more.

  19. SA 36-2

    That's more like it!

    Tazmin Brits reverse-sweeps Deepti Sharma's first ball for four.

  20. SA 32-2

    Target 159

    Brits sweeps for three before a couple more singles conclude a decent first over for the debutant.

    There are some nervous faces in the South Africa dugout.
