India 66-2 (10 Ovs) vs SA | SCORECARD

Another change in the attack as Keshav Maharaj comes on. He beats Jaiswal first up, but the left-hander gets a single off the next delivery. Kohli looks to defend and then pushes one on middle straight to long-off for another single. Jaiswal taps a return catch back to the bowler, and then attempts a heave, only to miscue it towards cover. A tight over -- just 2 runs from it. After nine overs, India are 61 for 1.

Jansen continues from the other end. Extra bounce first ball almost raps Kohli on the fingers as he defends towards cover. Kohli nudges the next towards third man for a single. Jaiswal blocks one, but his frustration shows soon after. He attempts a pull, gets into a poor position, and the ball skids through with extra pace. Another height-based dismissal from the tall Jansen. Jaiswal miscues, and Corbin Bosch takes a straightforward catch. Jaiswal departs for 22 off 38 balls.

Ruturaj Gaikwad walks in. Jansen greets him with a superb bouncer, but Gaikwad responds smartly, getting off the mark with a boundary. He defends the last ball towards cover. A wicket and five runs from the over. After ten overs, India are 66 for 2.
