Out! India is collapsing in the end overs now. Axar Patel connects one outside offstump just short of length but it is the longer side and Marco Jansen was able to extract some bounce because of his height. Tristan Stubbs settles and takes a good catch. Axar c Tristan Stubbs b Marco Jansen 7(7).
Out! Gerald Coetzee is on a roll here. Gets the change of pace correctly, Rinku Singh tries to come inside the line and hoik it over deep fine leg but doesn't get the connect and the ball scoops to the hands of Heinrich Klaasen who completes a good catch. Rinku Singh c Klaasen b Gerald Coetzee 11(10).
Out! Hardik Pandya doesn't manage to jump into the river of momentum. Throws his hands at one from Gerald Coetzee outside offstump but the ball doesn't get enough elevation to clear deep cover. Has to depart without hitting any boundary. Hardik Pandya c Marco Jansen b Gerald Coetzee 2(6).
Out! An unfortunate end to a solid innings from Sanju Samson. Nqaba Peter went short again and Sanju's eyes lit up once again. Went for the pull shot but was a little late and despite a good connection the ball held up in the air and Tristan Stubbs took a really good catch in the deep. Samson c Tristan Stubbs b Nqabayomzi Peter 107(50).
Out! Tilak Varma's breezy knock comes to an end. India won't mind as he has been showing his intent throughout his stay on the crease. Attempts the slog sweep but wasn't able to get a good connection. Keshav Maharaj has finally got the breakthrough. Tilak Varma c Marco Jansen b Maharaj 33(18).
Century! Back-to-Back T20I hundreds for Sanju and he becomes the first batter to achieve the feat for India in the history of International cricket. He has been sublime throughout in his innings. Some of the shots he played were just class. The experiment of opening the batting has really come off for him and he brings up his second T20I hundred in some style.
As Sanju Samson keeps smashing the bowlers from one end, Tilak Varma also provided him with good support from the other end. He expressed his intent clearly after coming to the crease and played some great shots to keep the scoreboard ticking.
Out! Patrick Kruger will be relieved. He bowled a really long over with the wides and no balls and looked in sea. But the last ball of the over was a well-executed knuckleball and Suryakumar mistimed the pull in the hands of deep mid-wicket. Suryakumar Yadav c Simelane b Patrick Kruger 21(17).
Fifty! Sanju Samson is on fire. He has been ruthless against the bowlers of South Africa and once again targeted the mistakes of new Proteas spinner Nqaba Peter. Peter dropped it short twice and on both the occasions, Samson dispatched them over the boundary line. With it he also reached his half-century in just 27 balls.
Despite the wicket of Abhishek Sharma, India got off to a great start thanks to the pyrotechnics on display by Sanju Samson. He took on both spinners and pacers and utilised the powerplay restrictions completely.
