SA 22-0 (3 Ovs) vs Ind 358-5 | SCORECARD

Harshit Rana takes the new-ball partner's role from the opposite end, but Aiden Markram is in no mood to settle in. He greets Rana with back-to-back boundaries -- one punched on the up, the next caressed past point. A dot follows before Rana strays down leg for a wide. Markram then blocks and finishes the over by jabbing through point for his third four of the over. A big one for South Africa -- 13 off it. They move to 18/0 after 2 overs.

Arshdeep Singh continues and starts with a wide outside off, which de Kock calmly lets go. The left-hander then gets lucky as an outside edge flies wide of slip for four. Arshdeep tightens up immediately -- de Kock's firm drive is stopped at extra cover by Jaiswal, and the final two balls are dots.

Just 4 off the over. South Africa are 22/0 after 3.
