India 221-2 (32 Ovs) vs SA | SCORECARD

Jansen returns to the attack. Kohli drives firmly to cover first ball, then finds the gap with a crisp boundary. He defends the next two deliveries before nudging one fine for a single. A dot ends the over. Five runs from it. After 31 overs, India are 212 for 2.

Corbin Bosch to Kohli -- in the air, but safe! 3 fielders converge: de Zorzi and Jansen running back from midwicket. Neither commits to the catch as they seem to get in each other's line of sight. Kohli gets two. He follows it with a dot to point. The batters continue rotating strike smoothly, and Gaikwad -- calm and fluent -- finishes the over with a boundary. Nine runs from it.

After 32 overs, India move to 221 for 2.
