SA 319-5 (44 Ovs) vs Ind 358-5 | SCORECARD

Prasidh returns to the attack, still the most expensive bowler for India today. de Zorzi starts cautiously, flicking the first two deliveries -- dots. He then pulls a short ball off the bounce to deep midwicket for a single. Breetzke takes charge! He punishes the next short delivery for a boundary, followed by a couple of singles. After 42 overs, South Africa are 299-4, needing 60 runs off 48 balls. 

Kuldeep continues. de Zorzi flicks towards the off side for a single. Breetzke blocks, then drives towards long-on for another single. A brilliant stop from Jaiswal, but the batters sneak three runs. The umpires are wiping the wet ball and preparing a ball change. Breetzke pulls to long-on for a single. de Zorzi ends the over with a six. 12 runs off the over -- South Africa 311-4, needing 48 from 42 balls. 

Prasidh is back. Breetzke flicks to short for two, jabs towards long-on for a single, and de Zorzi drives to long-off for one. Breetzke scampers a couple more runs, but Prasidh nails a perfect yorker! The finger goes up. Breetzke reviews -- no bat involved. Ball-tracking shows it crashing into leg stump. Breetzke departs for 68, and Prasidh celebrates another big wicket.

Marco Jansen is the new batter and he is off the mark with a couple of runs.
