  1. Drinks break

    SA 134-4

    A relatively quieter over as South Africa take six consecutive singles off Washington Sundar's over.

    The drinks have been called on before we enter the final stages of this innings.

  2. SA 128-4

    Shivam Dube's over came with a wicket but also 17 runs for South Africa.

    They will be eyeing a big total here against the defending champions

  3. 50 runs

    50 for Miller

    SA 125-4

    David Miller raises his batReuters

    David Miller brings up his half-century in style as another no-ball proves dearly for India.

    This time it's Shivam Dube who oversteps and Miller says 'thank you very much' again to reach the milestone in 26 balls with a six.

    That's what India needed so desperately. The partnership finally comes to an end.

    WICKET

    Brevis c Abhishek Sharma b Dube 45 (SA 117-4)

    Shivam Dube strikes back!

    Dewald Brevis plays across the line hoping for another big hit but it is skewed in the air and Abhishek Sharma gets under it and completes the catch.

    This could be a huge wicket for India.

  6. 6 runs

    SA 117-3

    Dewald Brevis just about clears the rope for a maximum despite a valiant effort from Washington Sundar.

  7. SA 111-3

    Varun Chakravarthy's first two overs have been expensive and he tries around the wicket this time. But it's more loose stuff from the bowler as he bowls three wides and is also driven for four by David Miller.

    He ends up conceding 12 runs as South Africa go past 100.

  8. SA 99-3

    Both South Africa batters now motoring with Dewald Brevis on 37 from 24 balls and David Miller on 40 from 22.

    India will need a wicket to halt this momentum.

  9. 6 runs

    SA 98-3

    South Africa are consolidating now!

    Shivam Dube bowls a full toss and instantly regrets it as Dewald Brevis sends it flying over long on for a six - having already slapped him for a four earlier in the over.

  10. 6 runs

    SA 84-3

    The free hit is dispatched over long on and into the stands by David Miller.

    It's turned from a very good over to a costly one ever so quickly for Hardik Pandya, with 11 coming off it in the end.

  11. SA 78-3

    Another economical over from Hardik Pandya with only four coming off it - or so you thought as the India bowler oversteps in the final ball.

    David Miller now has a free hit and he will relish this.

  12. SA 73-3

    A little consolation for Varun Chakravarthy as he manages a dot to finish off that over.

    That ninth over also saw this partnership between David Miller and Dewald Brevis go past 50.

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

    South Africa have to target someone so I guess they may have decided it's Varun Chakravarthy who was expected to be the biggest threat against them.

  14. 6 runs

    SA 73-3

    Dewald Brevis joins the party with a six straight down the ground.

    This Varun Chakravarthy over has proved costly for India - 17 runs already coming off it with one more ball to go.

  15. 6 runs

    SA 62-3

    That's massive from David Miller!

    It's there for the taking from Varun Chakravarthy and Miller launches it over long-on and into the stands.

  16. SA 56-3

    India skipper Suryakumar Yadav turns to Hardik Pandya.

    And it’s a disciplined start from the all‑rounder, conceding just four runs in his first over to keep the pressure on South Africa.

  17. SA 52-3

    Washington Sundar's first over begins and ends with a boundary.

    David Miller effortlessly picks the gap past long-off in the final delivery to move to 23 from 12 balls.

    He, along with Dewald Brevis, is nicely rebuilding this South Africa innings.

  18. SA 45-3

    Washington Sundar will get things going for India after the break.

    And he's welcomed to the game by Dewald Brevis - on the back foot and through the covers to find the fence.

  19. Jasprit Bumrah was instrumental in helping India defeat South Africa in the 2024 final.

    And the fast bowler has brought his A-game to this Super 8 contest as well, to give the co-hosts a promising start.

  20. Drinks break

    SA 41-3

    South Africa's David Miller playing a shotReuters

    David Miller adds two more boundaries to his fledgling innings as South Africa collect 10 more runs in the sixth over - it looks like he is right at home here.

    The players will take drinks as the powerplay is done and dusted.
