Jadeja continues. Markram drills it straight down the ground to long-off for a single. Run-out chance! Bavuma pushes and sets off, but Jaiswal doesn't collect cleanly. Had he picked it up, Markram would've been in trouble. Markram punches towards point for another single. Bavuma sweeps behind square for a couple. He defends the last two balls.

Five off the over. After 17 overs, South Africa are 97/1.

Kuldeep continues. A googly on leg stump squares Markram up as he brings the bat down with a closed face -- no run. Chance' and dropped! Jaiswal spills a regulation catch at long-on. Markram miscues a pull, offers a simple opportunity, but Jaiswal moves late, gets into an awkward position and ends up tipping it over the rope for four. Will this prove costly for India? Time will tell. Markram eases to mid-off for a single. Bavuma takes one more. Markram flicks to deep midwicket for a single. An overthrow hands Bavuma an extra run. Ten from the over.

After 18 overs, South Africa are 107/1. They need 252 from 32 overs.
