India 108-2 (18 Ovs) vs SA | SCORECARD

Corbin Bosch is brought into the attack. Gaikwad begins by flicking him square for a single. Kohli follows with a quick tap-and-run. Gaikwad then gets on his toes and neatly dabs the ball behind point for a couple before blocking the next one. He pushes towards cover for another single, and Kohli ends the over with one down to third man. Six runs from it. After 16 overs, India reach 102 for 2.

Maharaj continues. Gaikwad defends solidly, and after three dot balls, works one to mid-on for a single. Kohli flicks crisply through midwicket for another. Gaikwad pushes to long-off to finish the over with one more. A tidy over -- just three from it. After 17 overs, India are 104 for 2.

Bosch continues. Gaikwad starts with a confident front-foot defence.

A tight single follows, but Kohli is comfortably home. Kohli then defends towards backward point before lacing a drive out to the off-side sweeper for a single. Gaikwad blocks one and then tucks the last ball through midwicket for two well-judged runs. Four from the over.

After 18 overs, India move to 108 for 2.
