RSA 32/3 (7.1)

India vs South Africa: FOUR!

Temba Bavuma has been dismissed by Mohammed Shami. He went for a ramp shot but got an outside edge of his bat and Dinesh Karthik took a really good catch behind the stumps by diving to his right. South Africa are three down and this match hangs in balance now!

And it gave India their second wicket!   

RSA 3/2 (1.3)
