SA 197-3 (30 Ovs) vs Ind 358-5 | SCORECARD

Harshit Rana returns to the attack. Markram and Breetzke rotate the strike, dealing in calm singles. Five off the over. After 28 overs, SA are 182/2.

Kuldeep is back. Markram tucks one off his pads to deep square for a single. He misses the flick next ball -- wide called. Markram looks to drive but is beaten again. Then a dragged-down delivery and Markram pulls it to deep midwicket for four -- sloppy work from Jadeja in the deep. Eased down to long-on for another single. Breetzke drives one back to the bowler. Eight from the over. After 29 overs, SA are 190/2.

Harshit Rana continues. Markram cuts to deep point for a single. Breetzke drives to cover for no run. Short ball -- and Breetzke punishes it with a boundary. A slower ball into the pitch, Breetzke shimmies down but aborts the shot. He then punches to sweeper cover for a single. There's a pause as the umpire wipes the dew off the ball. Rohit is seen chatting with the umpire '" possibly asking for a ball change -- but the officials check and decide no change is needed. Short and wide -- wide ball. Breakthrough! Harshit Rana strikes! A clever slower ball, Markram miscues, and Gaikwad takes the catch.

Markram departs for a superb 110 off 98 balls. A splendid innings comes to an end.
