SA 92-1 (16 Ovs) vs Ind 358-5 | SCORECARD

Kuldeep Yadav into the attack.

Markram greets him with a boundary first ball, timing it sweetly past cover. He eases the next one down to long-on for a single. Bavuma clips off his pads through square leg for one more.

Markram then drives down the ground to long-off -- and that brings up his fifty, off 52 balls. A controlled, composed knock so far, but he has a long road ahead in this chase.

Bavuma works another one off his pads to deep square leg for a single. Markram closes the over with a jab down to long-off for one more.

Nine runs from the over. After 16 overs, South Africa are 92/1. They need 267 from 34 overs.

Time for a drinks break.
