He does not get the elevation and the ball flies flat towards deep mid-wicket, where Dewald Brevis makes no mistake. Pandya walks back for a scratchy 20 off 23, and India lose half their side now.

India vs South Africa Live Score | DRINKS! South Africa are ahead in this game at the halfway mark, but they will also be wary that India still has some firepower left in the batting. The hosts are trying to build up a partnership, with Tilak Varma looking in good touch, and Hardik Pandya coming off a fine batting display in the first game. The Proteas will know that breaking this pair will be crucial, and as the game goes deep, it will get tougher and tougher to grip the ball with all the dew on the ground. An exciting phase of cricket awaits us.

WICKET!Over 7.3India 67/4
India vs South Africa Live Score | Ottneil Baartman to Axar Patel : OUT! CAUGHT! A fine low grab from Reeza Hendricks and South Africa break through just as India seemed to be gaining a bit of momentum. Fuller and going across the left-hander, Axar stays leg side of the ball and looks to thrash it through the off side. Neither does he manage to keep it along the ground nor pick the gap. Hits it uppishly and straight to cover, where Reeza Hendricks gets low and has his hands out in front with his body weight going backwards. The third umpire is called into action. After zooming in on one of the angles, the third umpire is happy that Reeza has his fingers under the ball. Axar's promotion to number 3 does not work out the way India had hoped. He falls for a run-a-ball 21. India are now 67/4.
