SA 135-6 (72 ovs); Target: 310 | Scorecard

Du Plessis will hold the key for South Africa here, he is well settled and is looking quite comfortable as he proves by playing a lovely drive through the covers off Mishra for a four.

Mishra has a confident appeal for LBW turned down against Faf before the experienced leg-spinner gets his man off the very next delivery.

A short ball which Faf looks to pull stays very low and crashes into his stumps to send back the right-hander for a gutsy innings of 39 from 152 balls.

Both Amla and Faf fell for 39 each as South Africa lost two wickets in the space of 11 deliveries to be reduced to 135 for six in 72 overs, with another 175 needed for victory.
