IND vs SA Live Score: Close call!

A tad fuller delivey from Mukesh Kumar hit the front pad of Tristan Stubbs but umpire was unconvinced. India went upstairs but that extra bounce on the surface eventually saved Stubbs as the ball was projected to be going over the middle stump.  

SA 44/2 (14.4)

January03202420:36 (IST)

IND vs SA Live Score: WICKET!

Mukesh Kumar strikes again! A good length ball around the off stump and Tony de Zorzi had to play it. He nicked the ball and KL Rahul took a good catch behind the stumps. These two wickets from Mukesh will definitely boost India’s morale.  

SA 41/2 (12.1)

January03202420:29 (IST)

IND vs SA Live Score: WICKET!

First breakthrough for India as Mukesh Kumar gets the wicket of Dean Elgar. With this, Elgar’s final international knock comes to an end at the score of 12. It is good to see India’s Virat Kohli asking the crowd to bow down to the players and Kohli’s teammates also congratulated Elgar. 

SA 37/1 (10.2 overs)

January03202420:18 (IST)

IND vs SA Live Score: FOUR!

An elegant backfoot punch from Dean Elgar for a four on the off side. Indian pacers are leaking runs in this innings. This now seems a solid start for South Africa considering how the pitch has played. Both Aiden Markram and Elgar have adjusted to the bounce of the surface beautifully. 

SA 33/0 (9)

January03202420:11 (IST)

IND vs SA Live Score: Lucky Markram!

A tad fuller length ball from Mukesh Kumar and he trapped Aiden Markram in front of the stumps. Umpire was unconvinced so Rohit Sharma went upstairs. To Markram’s good luck, the ball was found to be clipping the leg stump only despite the batter looking plumb at the first sight. Things went in the batter’s favour as the ground umpire’s decision was not out. 

SA 19/0 (6.4)

January03202419:54 (IST)

IND vs SA Live Score: FOUR!

Beautiful shot from Dean Elgar!  The short ball from Mohammed Siraj rose to a good height but Elgar was ready for it, waiting inside his crease. He cut it past the slip and gully fielders for a four.

SA 17/0 (4)

January03202419:48 (IST)

IND vs SA Live Score: FOUR!

That is a top shot from Aiden Markram! It was slightly short with not much bounce on it and Markram comfortably punched it from the backfoot for a four. The ball went through the point region.

SA 10/0 (2.4)

January03202419:46 (IST)

IND vs SA Live Score: Maiden over!

Mohammed Siraj starts with a maiden over. Dean Elgar faced him and he faced him well. The South African batters are looking much more confident now after what their pacers have done. 

SA 4/0 (2)

January03202419:42 (IST)

IND vs SA Live Score: South Africa start 2nd innings!

A boundary came off the first over of South Africa’s second innings. Jasprit Bumrah bowled it and Aiden Markram hit a four in it. India need some early wickets to keep themselves motivated.

January03202419:30 (IST)

IND vs SA Live Score: India all out for 153!

Two wickets in two balls for Kagiso Rabada and the innings ends for India. They have been bundled out for 153 runs with a 98-run lead. What a shame for the Indian batting unit this is.

January03202419:23 (IST)

IND vs SA Live Score: WICKET!

Ngidi takes a third wicket of the over. Jasprit Bumrah is also gone and India now are 7 down. South Africa are pulling things back and you gotta give credit to Ngidi for this superb over that has dismissed three for zero runs. Just unbelievable!
