Damn it is soo cool, when a good player is under such pressure to perform... and they actually do it, good to see Kohli getting back in form. He fallen way behind AB and Smith as solid performers for the #1 spot.

Steyn to Raina, OUT, back of length, pulled straight to midwicket for an easy catch!

266/4.

300 is still something to archieve from now on.

44.5 ov.

5.1 left. 31 balls.

can someone please explain this:

Rabada to Harbhajan Singh, OUT, oh Harbhajan is bowled down the leg side! He wanted to tuck the ball to leg with the angle, and the ball deflected off his pads to the stumps. The umpires are checking for a no ball, and Rabada has overstepped here, nothing behind the line when his heel lands. Oh, hello! He's still been given out. Can't figure out the reason why that's not a no ball and the TV commentators are confused too

IND 299/8 (50.0 Ovs)

Great effort there at the end boys... still going to be a tough chase.

South Africa will definitely be the happier of the two. That's twice now that India has been in a position of strength and let it slip (previous game they were 190/2). Credit though to the death bowlers.

SA will surely back themselves to chase this down. As long as they can nullify the slow bowlers, they've got the lineup to get these runs.

Steyn to Kumar, OUT, a wicket to end the innings too! Bhuvi hardly got any bat on the short ball on off stump, Steyn collected the ball and ran him out at the non-striker's end
B Kumar run out 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Naga: "Dhoni cant clear the fence anymore against good fast bowlers. Period. I doubt if India will even Cross 301!!!"
49.5
Steyn to Dhoni, OUT, makes room for the short ball, flays it down the ground and finds mid off. Excellent over this is from Steyn
MS Dhoni c de Villiers b Steyn 15 (16b 1x4 0x6) SR: 93.75
49.4
Steyn to Dhoni, 2 runs, full delivery is driven down the ground to long on, they are strangely coming back for the second because the ball went straight to long. But Steyn doesn't collect the ball at bowler's end and they actually get two
Sarfaraz: "India are 20 runs short, was expecting more while virat and suresh where batting."
49.3
Steyn to Patel, 1 run, much wider outside off, Axar flays the ball to sweeper cover
49.2
Steyn to Patel, no run, back of length outside off with the angle, Axar swings and misses
49.1
Steyn to Dhoni, 1 run, Dhoni connects this time with a slog but there's a fielder at deep midwicket for one
End of over 49 (5 runs) India 295/6 (RR: 6.02)

48.6
Rabada to Dhoni, 1 run, Dhoni opens up for the back of length ball and clips to leg for one
48.5
Rabada to Patel, 1 run, angling in to Axar, chips it down the ground to long on
Round the wicket now to Axar
48.4
Rabada to Patel, 2 runs, back of length outside off, there's room and Axar cuts off the back foot wide of third man for two
Rabada on a hat-trick
48.3
Rabada to Harbhajan Singh, OUT, oh Harbhajan is bowled down the leg side! He wanted to tuck the ball to leg with the angle, and the ball deflected off his pads to the stumps. The umpires are checking for a no ball, and Rabada has overstepped here, nothing behind the line when his heel lands. Oh, hello! He's still been given out. Can't figure out the reason why that's not a no ball and the TV commentators are confused too
Harbhajan Singh b Rabada 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
What a fine hundred from Kohli in these conditions, he hardly gave any chances, was beaten not more than twice outside off and middled most of his shots. The running between the wickets was also a highlight
48.2
Rabada to Kohli, OUT, that's the end of Kohli, he's caught behind for 138! Shortish ball going down leg and he pulled, got a faint edge and QdK took it easily
V Kohli c †de Kock b Rabada 138 (140b 6x4 5x6) SR: 98.57
48.1
Rabada to Dhoni, 1 leg bye, full and angling in, Dhoni opens up and heaves, doesn't connect and takes it on the back leg for a leg bye
