Waits for the ball to arrive and nails the pull through square leg for a boundary. South Africa win by 3 wickets with an over to spare and level the series 1-1!

Varun Chakaravarthy to Heinrich Klaasen
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Varun Chakaravarthy picks his man and it is another low score for Klaasen. India are well and truly seeing a chance here. A conventional leg-break from Varun this time around, flat and full around off. Heinrich Klaasen gets his front foot out of the way to create room for himself. He fails to get his bat underneath the ball and goes through the shot. Lofts it aerially but it goes off the toe-end of the willow. It travels only as far as the long off fielder where Rinku Singh takes a safe catch, running to his left.

Varun Chakaravarthy to David Miller
OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Chakravarthy is on a wicket-hunt here. David Miller goes for a golden duck and South Africa are in all sorts of trouble now. Varun Chakaravarthy changes the angle of attack for the left-hander and bowls from around the stumps. Drifts it into the stumps and lands it fuller in length, just around off, David Miller does not pick up the googly and plays inside the line of the ball. It grips, turns and beats the outside edge before crashing into the off stump. David Miller stands there in disbelief. Varun Chakaravarthy registers his maiden T20I 5-fer and he has turned the game on its head now.

Varun Chakaravarthy floats it up and dishes out a deceptive googly. It drifts into the batter and pitches on a fuller length. Draws Jansen on the front foot. He looks to heave it across the line but does not read the wrong'un off the deck and the ball sneaks through the gap between the bat and the pad before clattering into the stumps. South Africa are 4 wickets down now. They are now 64/4, needing 61 runs from 55 balls.

Has Jansen been strangled down the leg side here? A confident appeal from Samson, SKY and the bowler but the umpire signals wide. Suryakumar Yadav takes the review with a couple of seconds left on the timer. This drifts down leg, on a nagging length, Marco Jansen tries to tickle it fine but misses. A good take by Samson moving to his left. The UltraEdge confirms that there is no bat involved but it shows that the ball brushed the thigh of Jansen. The on-field decision of NOT OUT will stand but the decision of wide is reversed. India lose their review though.

Arshdeep Singh to Ryan Rickelton
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Arshdeep Singh draws the first blood for India and he continues to strike inside the Powerplays with the new ball in hand. A good pace change from Singh as he slows it up on a fuller length. Angles it onto the pads. Ryan Rickelton misses to read the pace off and commits on the shot a bit early. He tries to flick it across the line and over the in-field but ends up lobbing it straight down the throat of Rinku Singh at deep fine who takes a fine catch.

Aiden Markram comes in at number 3.

Oh, dear! Aiden Markram has copped a nasty blow on the helmet. Seems a bit shaken by the slow and a concussion test will follow now. The Proteas skipper is not having the best of times today. First, he took a blow on the little finger of his right hand while going for a catch and now, a blow to his helmet. The check is complete and Markram is ready to resume.

Change? Indeed. Varun Chakaravarthy comes on to bowl.

Surprising move! Marco Jansen is in at number 5, ahead of Miller and Klaasen.

Strategic Break! Indian bowlers have worked hard to prevent boundaries from flowing freely. However, in such low-score chases, one good over or two can shift the momentum back toward the opposition. South Africa have lost 3 wickets but they have still got Miller and Klaasen waiting in the sheds. They need 70 off 66 balls now and won't be taking too many risks at this stage of the game. Meanwhile, Varun Chakaravarthy has done the most damage to the opposition and the others will need to step up as well. India need wickets, in clusters, and that too, as quickly as possible. Also, a change in bowling as Axar Patel has been introduced into the attack for the first time. He replaces Varun Chakaravarthy.

Strategic Break! Varun Chakaravarthy bowling masterclass has put India right back in the contest now. With Klaasen, Miller, all back in the sheds without any impact, the onus lies on the lone recognized batter, Tristan Stubbs. India will look forward to getting rid of him as soon as possible to put a step ahead in the contest. Gerald Coetzee is in at number 9 and the two would now aim to bat through to the end and sail their team home.

Avesh Khan is brought back into the attack. His figures read 2-0-11-0 so far.

Well then, that is it from this immersive second T20I where South Africa beat India in a low-scoring thriller. Two played and two more to go. Now, with the series deadlocked at 1-1, the action shifts to the iconic SuperSport Park of Centurion. The third T20I will be played on Wednesday, November 13 and the first ball will be bowled at 3 pm GMT. Till then, cheers and take care!
