Jasprit Bumrah to Reeza Hendricks, OUT! TIMBER! Jasprit Bumrah with a bolt out of the blue! The dream delivery for any pacer and Bumrah gets the early wicket for India. Bumrah stays over the wicket and pitches the ball up on the stumps, naturally angling it in. Reeza Hendricks looks to play for the line and puts out a straight face of the bat but the ball pitches and straightens to beat the outside edge and knock over the top of off stump.

Arshdeep Singh to Aiden Markram, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Aiden Markram will be gutted with that shot and India have their second wicket. Arshdeep Singh just pitches the ball up a bit and angles it well across the off stump. The ball keeps angling away and Aiden Markram goes fishing after it, only managing to get a feather of an edge to the right of the keeper. Rishabh Pant dives across and pouches it safely. Tristan Stubbs comes out to bat now.

Axar Patel to Tristan Stubbs, OUT! TIMBER! Axar Patel fights back in grand style! Quinton de Kock is distraught at the other end as he punches his bat. Axar lands it full and on the off pole, Tristan Stubbs premediates and tries to use the angle to paddle it fine on the leg side. He walks way too far across and exposes all his stumps. Fails to get any bat on the paddle and the ball sneaks past the inside edge to hit the off pole, enough to dislodge the left bail. A timely breakthrough for India.

Hardik Pandya to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! There was a break in play as the physio attended to Rishabh Pant and that break has brought about a wicket for India! Is there a twist in the tale? Pandya rolls his fingers over the ball and keeps it away from the batter's arc, full and outside off, Heinrich Klaasen throws his hands at it but gets an outside edge that is snaffled safely by the keeper, Rishabh Pant near his waist. End of a superb knock by Klaasen. With 26 runs needed off 23 balls, it is still South Africa's game to lose, despite losing Klaasen.

Jasprit Bumrah to Marco Jansen, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Jasprit Bumrah has struck just when India needed it! Marco Jansen stands there in disbelief. Bumrah changes his angle of attack as he comes from over the wicket and slants it in, on a good length, on middle, Marco Jansen gets a stride in and presents a straight bat to keep it out. The ball jags back in sharply off the deck, sneaks past the inside edge and clips the leg pole, enough to dislodge the right bail. Can Bumrah get one more off his remaining two balls?

Hardik Pandya to David Miller, OUT! WHAT A GRAB! SURYAKUMAR YADAV, YOU BEAUTY! Brilliant presence of mind on the ropes and he just might have won the World Cup for India with this effort. David Miller cannot believe it! Just the start to the over India were after. Not the best of deliveries by Pandya as he tries to go full but it comes out as a full toss, outside off, David Miller reaches out to go down town. Looks like he gets just enough on it but Suryakumar Yadav at long off, steadies himself on the ropes, keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through. Takes the catch and releases it just as his momentum takes him beyond the ropes. Comes back in to complete the catch.

Hardik Pandya to Kagiso Rabada, EDGED AND FOUR! Streaky but South Africa won't mind any which way they come! 12 needed off the last 4 balls. Pace on, angling away, on off, on a back of a length, Kagiso Rabada throws the kitchen sink at it and gets an outside edge that flies between the keeper and short third for a boundary.

Hardik Pandya to Kagiso Rabada, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! That should be the game and the World Cup to India! Final nail in the coffin for South Africa. Full and going across the left-hander, on off, Kagiso Rabada looks to get underneath it but only manages to skew it off the toe end of the bat. It goes flat and straight to long off where Suryakumar Yadav takes an easy catch this time.
