India 96-2 (15 Ovs) vs SA | SCORECARD

Maharaj continues. Gaikwad and Kohli begin the over by exchanging a single each. Gaikwad then picks up the pace, sweeping a boundary toward the leg side before settling back into defence for the next two deliveries. He finishes the over with another single. After 13 overs, India are 84 for 2.

Jansen steams in again. The batters continue rotating strike smartly, collecting a couple of singles early in the over. Then Gaikwad opens up, launching a massive six over the leg side. He defends the remaining deliveries. Eight runs from the over. After 14 overs, India move to 92 for 2.

Maharaj carries on. Kohli starts with a jab towards midwicket for no run, then flicks to long-on for a single. The pair rotate strike efficiently through the rest of the over. Four runs in total. After 15 overs, India are 96 for 2.

Gaikwad has been the main contributor in this phase, and with drinks called, India will be pleased with the rebuilding effort.
