India vs South Africa 4th ODI Cricket Score Live from Wanderers, Johannesburg: The Pink ODIs remain clean for South Africa! Wonder if colour of the jersey changes things to this extent. When in their traditional green and yellow, the Proteas seemed like mere mortals who were out to get worked away by spin. But today, it was the South African side that sides feared. The one that made the other run for their money. The one that has managed to hang in in the series. India would be wondering what hit them. Whether it was the thunderstorm that struck them or was Killer Miller the destroyer? Of course, a cat is said to have seven lives while David Miller got two tonight. And boy, he made the opposition pay for that. Till the time he was dropped first by Shreyas Iyer and then clean bowled by Yuzvendra Chahal, only for him to have overstepped, he failed to be comfortable. But post that, he seemed an altogether different monster.

Miller was ably supported by the 2-match old Heinrich Klaasen. The duo strung together a 72-run stand and took the game away from the visitors. If India would have expected a respite from the newcomer, they didn't get one. This was after Hashim Amla and Aiden Markram gave a good 43-run base. After they departed, AB de Villiers and JP Duminy couldn't contribute much. They were the prime danger for the opponents. If people doubted the ability of Andile Phehlukwayo with the bat, he washed his hands in the flowing water with a quickfire 23, that flattened the egos, apart from the hopes. (SCORECARD)

    SIX! Phehlukwayo finishes off in style as SOUTH AFRICA AVOID A SERIES DEFEAT TONIGHT! South Africa (207/5) beat India (289/7) by 5 wickets (DLS method). Visitors lead six-match series 3-1.​

  • 1:40 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    SIX! Phehlukwayo looked clueless against the wrist spinners in the previous games and look at him now. Slinks down the track in a flash and hits it straight over the bowler's head for another biggie. Just two less than a boundary required now. SA 200/5 in 25.2 overs, need 2 runs to win vs IND

  • 1:39 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    SIX! Up, high and above! Tossed up at a slower pace around off, Phehlukwayo gets down and slog sweeps it over the deep mid-wicket fence for another biggie. Just 9 needed now... SA 193/5 in 25 overs

  • 1:31 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Well played. Short in length, spinning in a touch. Klaasen goes back and lofts it over covers for a boundary. SA 180/5 in 24.1 overs, need 22 runs to win vs IND

  • 1:26 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    OUT! Chahal gets his revenge, though not sure we can call it that. Chahal bravely floats it around middle and gets it to turn in just a touch. Miller gets his front foot across and then tries to defend with a straight bat. Misses the ball completely and is caught adjacent to the stumps. Chahal removes Miller for 39. SA 174/5 in 23.4 overs, need 28 runs to win

  • 1:25 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    SIX! Bad night for Chahal? Understatement. Lucky Miller? Very much! He gets another long hop on the stumps, all he has to do is go back and pull. Does so with utmost ease and collects a maximum over deep mid-wicket. Why lucky but? Because of the lives that he has got till here. 28 off 28 needed. SA 174/4 in 23.2 overs

  • 1:21 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Oh dear! The spinners are having a bad night not only with the ball, but also on the field. This is hurled outside off, Klaasen gets a thick outside edge towards third man. The wet outfield comes to his aid. Yadav at that position got to the ball but it spins away just a bit. Hits him on the foot and goes away to the fence. The look on Kohli's face says it all. SA 164/4 in 22.1 overs

  • 1:15 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    SIX! Know how to take full toll of the freebie? Ask Klaasen. This is a Free Hit and so he knows he cannot be dismissed. Bashes this high over the long on fence for another biggie. Can we have a 10 in the sport, please?​ SA 160/4 in 22 overs, need 42 runs to win vs IND

  • 1:13 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Atrocious! Chahal anticipates the batter to go after him and hence darts this short and wide outside off. This is almost outside the tramline. 

  • 1:07 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    SIX! Ho, ho, ho! That's out of here! Nicely tossed up around off, Miller gets down one knee and BLASTS it over wide long on.​ SA 145/4 in 21 overs

  • 1:05 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Klaasen seems to have downloaded google translator, reckons our scorer here. Dhoni had shouted just before this ball was delivered, that Heinrich would look to get inside the line and play it to the leg side. The batter does the exact opposite as he gets down and plays the reverse sweep over backward point for a boundary.​​ SA 137/4 in 20.3 overs

  • 1:04 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Kuldeep Yadav comes back for the visitors.

  • 1:01 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Wow! Klaasen can bat! Sees this tossed up ball on the stumps, he swings it hard. SA 129/4 in 20 overs, need 73 runs to win

  • 12:55 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Short and wide, punished yet again. Miller has enough room on offer and he cuts it fiercely over point. Makes enough contact and collects another boundary.​ SA 120/4 in 18.3 overs

  • 12:54 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR!  Full in length, Miller clears his front leg and goes over mid off. Clears the man easily and collects a boundary.​ SA 112/4 in 18.1 overs

  • 12:53 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Miller is knocked over! Chahal seems to have got him, but wait! He seems to have OVERSTEPPED! Nicely tossed up, around off, Miller looks to sweep it but is way early into the shot. The ball spins in and knocks the middle stick. Indians rejoice but the umpire checks for the front foot. Chahal has faltered. He has overstepped and hence, Miller survives. Another life for the southpaw.​

  • 12:51 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    GRASSED! An opportunity goes abegging. Shreyas Iyer the man at fault. Tossed up on middle, Miller gets down and sweeps it aerially. The ball travels towards deep backward square leg. Iyer comes running there from fine leg and gets to the ball, but fails to hold on to that. A run taken in the interim. Costly miss?

  • 12:46 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    OUT! Know what's precision? Picking out the man stationed on the fence to perfection. And AB de Villiers has done just that. Fuller in length, angling in, de Villiers flicks it away off his pads. Does so aerially and the ball flies straight to Rohit Sharma at fine leg. He didn't have to move an inch. Know who moved a lot? Hardik Pandya. He was up and running to his mate who had managed to hold on to the catch to give him the big scalp. India have the hosts needing exactly the triple figure more, with just 67 deliveries to bowl at them. Game, set, match? SA 102/4 in 16.5 overs, need 100 runs to win vs IND (Revised target - 202)

  • 12:41 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    SIX! Tripe! Chahal bowls a half-tracker and that's a gift for someone like AB. He goes back and has enough time in the world to collect a biggie. Does so with a pull over deep mid-wicket.​ SA 100/3 in 16 overs

  • 12:39 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    SIX! BANG! This is nicely tossed up on the stumps, de Villiers gets down on one knee and slog sweeps it high and handsome over the deep mid-wicket fence.​ SA 93/3 in 15.4 overs

  • 12:38 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    More spin. Yuzvendra Chahal is brought into the attack.

  • 12:38 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Tossed up on the stumps, Miller gets down and sweeps it powerfully through the backward square leg for a boundary. SA 83/3 in 15 overs

  • 12:36 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    OUT! Game awareness, tick. Boundary-line awareness, tick. Terrific catch, oh yes! Amla, thanks for being out there for 40 balls! Spin is amidst it all, again. This is nicely tossed up around off and middle, Amla slinks down a couple of steps and lifts it aerially towards long off. Bhuvneshwar stationed there goes backwards and takes it, but then seems to be going over the ropes and hence throws it in the air, goes out, comes in and completes the catch. SA 77/3 in 14.1 overs, need 125 runs to win vs IND (Revised target - 202)

  • 12:30 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! SA 77/2 in 14 overs, need 125 runs to win vs IND

  • 12:29 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    AB de Villiers walks in at number 4, replacing Duminy, with the series slipping away...

  • 12:23 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    OUT! Adjudged LBW! Well, not a convincing appeal at all but the umpire has raised his finger. Duminy might have picked the last ball but he certainly did not pick this one, nor does he look like picking to agree with the decision of the umpire. Looks totally gutted. To be honest, that did not look out at all. SA 67/2 in 12.2 overs, need 135 runs to win vs IND (Match reduced to 28 overs due to rain - target 202)

  • 12:19 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Up and over! Fine shot. Half volley outside off, Amla leans and lofts this over cover for a boundary. Welcome one for South Africa. 139 more needed from 98 balls. The stand moves to 20 from 26 deliveries while Amla is now on 31 from 36.​ SA 63/1 in 11.4 overs

  • 12:16 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    A tad short from Kuldeep, Amla punches it down to long off for another single. 4 runs from the over.​ SA 57/1 in 11 overs

  • 12:12 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Landed outside off, much fuller, shaping away, Amla steers it behind, towards the gully region for a run. 50 UP FOR SOUTH AFRICA. 152 more needed from 112 balls.

  • 12:09 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Full and around off, solidly defended by Amla. Good start by Kuldeep with the wet ball, 3 runs from the over. SA 47/1 in 9 overs

  • 12:05 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    A misfield straightaway. Full and outside off, Duminy pushes the ball straight to cover where the fielder gets across but fumbles and concedes a single. SA 44/1 in 8 overs, need 158 runs to win vs IND

  • 12:04 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    The players are back out in the middle already. JP Duminy is the new man in. Powerplay 2 has been signalled as well.​

  • 12:02 AM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    We are playing! Told you I was not an expert with facial signs or lip-reading. Seems like Aleem Dar has fooled me. The revised target being 202 from 28 overs.

  • 11:52 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    The umpires have taken a close look at the ground conditions. Play set to resume from 00.00 IST. Match reduced to 28 overs. Revised target 202 for hosts.

  • 11:49 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    The cut-off time for a 20-over game to happen is 20:55 local. So, the clock is ticking fast. An inspection is in progress.

  • 11:28 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Official inspection scheduled at 23.40 IST. The outfield still continues to be damp.

  • 11:08 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    The covers are coming off at Wanderers. The super-sopper has been put into action. Hopefully, we'll see some cricket in Johannesburg.

  • 10:52 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    It is raining very heavily now, from what we hear. The wicket could not have come at a better time for India. South Africa got their best opening stand this series and were going at a pretty decent rate. But the skipper is gone now and with the rain coming down hard, there are chances that this game could be reduced. That will certainly play into the chasing side's mind.

  • 10:21 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    OUT! LBW! The decision stays as it is! Don't think it was the wisest of calls to review this in the first place. The ball landed outside off, Markram walked across and then looked to heave. But missed the ball and got hit, just over the knee roll. It looked plumb and Aleem Dar agreed. Markram had a long look at Amla and then both these players signalled for the review. Hawk-Eye showed it to be hitting the stumps. Waste of a review. SA 43/1 in 7.2 overs, need 247 runs to win vs IND (289)

  • 10:16 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR!  What a shot. On a length outside off, Amla punches it through the covers. Kuldeep Yadav races to his left and dives but cannot stop the ball.​ SA 43/0 in 7 overs, need 247 runs to win vs IND (289)

  • 10:15 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Shot! Typical Amla. Short and outside off, Amla gets across and punches it through the covers and finds the gap.​ SA 36/0 in 5.2 overs

  • 10:07 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Edged and through again! Kohli brought third man up inside the circle and moved the slip wide. Markram looked to push at that ball and got a bit of an outside edge. It went onto the ground and raced past that wide slip and went fine than short third man! SA 26/0 in 4.1 overs, chase 290 to win vs IND

  • 10:05 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    JUST OVER! A length ball on middle, Aiden gets across and looks to go over mid-on but does not quite time it. Luckily for him, the ball clears mid-on and races towards the fence. Actually, no. It slows down near the boundary and does not even meet the ropes. Enough time for Kuldeep Yadav to run to the ball and pick it up. The batsmen take three. SA 22/0 in 4 overs

  • 10:02 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    EDGED, FOUR! This would have been a wicket if this had been a Test match.​ Kumar bowls this on a length outside off, then gets it to nip back in. Generates extra zip and bounce off the deck which catches Amla by surprise. He fends at it but only gets an outside edge. Luckily for him, the ball goes wide of first slip to the third man fence.​ SA 19/0 in 2.4 overs

  • 9:57 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Not in total control. A length ball outside off, Markram deliberately opens the face of the bat to guide it towards third man but gets it off the bottom edge, wide of first slip to the fence.​ SA 12/0 in 2 overs, need 278 runs to win vs IND (289)

  • 9:55 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Jasprit Bumrah to share the second new ball from the other end.

  • 9:53 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Shot! That should get the captain going. On a length outside off, Markram gets on top of the bounce and punches it through the covers, on the up, for a boundary!​ SA 6/0 in 1 over

  • 9:51 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    'THODA THODA GIR RAHA HAI'... says Kohli. Seems like it is drizzling. Meanwhile, Amla gets a change of bats.

  • 9:49 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Welcome back for the chase! Aiden Markram and Hashim Amla are the openers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to start off proceedings with the first new ball against Markram. Here we go...

  • 9:30 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

  • 9:30 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Just a single off the last ball to end the innings. Full and outside off, MSD hits it hard but straight to Hashim Amla at cover. 22 runs off the final 2 overs takes India to 289/7!

  • 9:23 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Up and over! Short and outside off, Dhoni leaps and cuts it over cover for a boundary! IND 286/7 in 49.4 overs

  • 9:21 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    OUT! Bhuvneshwar is run-out but India will not mind. Dhoni is back on strike. A low full toss outside off, MSD hits it hard towards long on and calls for two. JP Duminy collects the ball calmly and returns a straightforward throw to Morris. Simple run out, which is not even referred upstairs. IND 282/7 in 49.3 overs

  • 9:14 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! CLOBBERED! 19 needed from 5 now! Full and outside off, Dhoni blasts it wide of cover and finds the boundary!​ IND 281/6 in 49.1 overs

  • 9:10 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! LEG BYES! India need more of these. A short ball, Dhoni charges at it, swings hard but misses. But the ball hits his back, then his helmet and flies behind. Heinrich Klaasen dives to his right but cannot stop it. IND 276/6 in 48.5 overs

  • 9:07 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Uh oh... it has started to drizzle again. The ground staff is getting active. Can we get the 50 overs in this innings done at least? IND 267/6 in 48 overs

  • 9:06 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

  • 9:05 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Bhuvneshwar Kumar walks in at number 8, replacing Hardik Pandya.

  • 9:02 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    OUT! It is a bird, it is a plane, it is Superman but it is not AB! W-H-A-T-A-C-A-T-C-HHHHHHH! Stunning. Absolutely. Aiden Markram it is. The ball is full and outside off and Hardik bashes it with brute power. The ball goes over cover and seems like it has cleared the fielder. But no, Markram leaps full stretch, sticks out his right hand and takes a stinger! Take a bow, skipper. Brilliant. India 262/6 in 47 overs vs South Africa in Wanderers

  • 8:55 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Rubbish, on this track. Or on any track. A half-tracker, a loosener from Morris, pulled with disdain over mid-wicket for a one-bounce boundary. The stand moves to 10 from 11 balls. IND 257/5 in 45.1 overs

  • 8:53 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    On a length outside off, Pandya pushes at it and is squared up. The ball runs off the outside edge to third man for a single. 4 runs from the over.​ IND 253/5 in 45 overs

  • 8:46 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    OUT! Not this time! A length ball again, this time Iyer looks to go over the leg side but does not have enough strength to clear long on. Easy catch for Chris Morris.​ Ngidi removes Shreyas Iyer for 18 runs. India 247/5 in 43.2 overs vs South Africa in Wanderers.

  • 8:44 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Iyer drives it for a boundary. IND 247/4 in 43.1 overs.

  • 8:41 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    NOT OUT! Nothing in ultra edge, Shreyas Iyer survives. 

  • 8:37 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Outstanding work in the field. A length ball outside off, MS throws his bat at it and gets a thick outside edge. The ball races towards the third man fence but Andile Phehlukwayo dives to his left and almost saves the boundary. The ball however, does not respect him for the effort and scoots away to the fence.

  • 8:35 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Dhoni has flicked the ball off his pads. They manage to come back for the second. Another good over for the hosts, just 4 from it. IND 234/4 in 41 overs

  • 8:33 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    POWERPLAY 3 time. 5 fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle. South Africa will be the happier side if India do not cross 325.

  • 8:29 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Iyer guides it to third man. They pick up a single. 4 runs from the over.​ IND 230/4 in 40 overs

  • 8:22 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Fine shot. Authoritative from Iyer. Comes forward and drives it down the ground. Aiden Markram from mid on gives it a chase but comes second in the race. IND 222/4 in 38 overs

  • 8:22 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    SIX! What timing! Only MS knows how has that crossed the ropes. A short ball outside off, Dhoni initially goes hard at it, looking to play the uppercut. But then the ball stops off the surface a bit. Strange, considering that the speed gun shows it to be 141 kph. The ball seems to be carrying off the miscue towards sweeper cover but somehow, it goes over the fielder. Andile Phehlukwayo at the boundary, waits, waits, waits, then leaps but still misses. IND 217/4 in 37.2 overs

  • 8:19 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    MS Dhoni walks in at number 6, replacing Rahane. India need some calming influence in the middle.

  • 8:15 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    OUT! Caught and now Rahane throws it away. That door gets opened a bit more. A needless shot under the circumstances. Perhaps the message has been to keep scoring quickly. A short ball, outside off, Rahane instinctively goes for the pull but there is some steep bounce in that, which induces a bit of a top edge and hence a miscue. It is short ground but not short enough for the ball to sail beyond the ropes. Kagiso Rabada at the mid-wicket fence pouches it calmly. So after the break, India have lost 2/11 in 16 balls. IND 210/4 in 36.3 overs vs SA

  • 8:13 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Lungi Ngidi is brought back on.

  • 8:12 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Shreyas Iyer plays it to the point region to pick up a single. 4 runs and a wicket from the over, Morkel's figures read 8-0-40-1. IND 209/3 in 36 overs

  • 8:09 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

  • 8:08 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    OUT! Morkel gets the Big Fish! The break breaks the momentum for India and two set batsmen are gone. First Kohli, before lightning and then Dhawan, now. Full and outside off, slanting away, Dhawan looks to go over the top but the ball hits the toe end of his bat. It goes low to AB de Villiers at mid off who makes no mistake. The Proteas are jubilant - a rare moment in this series for them. How long will this joy be? End of a wonderful knock from Dhawan. However, has this wicket given the Saffers an opening?. India 206/3 in 35.3 overs vs South Africa in Wanderers

  • 8:05 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Ahhh... more luck for Dhawan. Looks to punch this length ball through the off side but gets a thick inside edge which just misses the stumps and goes past the keeper towards fine leg. Two runs were taken. IND 205/2 in 35 overs

  • 8:03 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    We are about to get underway. It has stopped raining and the covers are off but the clouds are in no hurry to leave the ground. It is very dark and 1630 actually seems like 1830. The players are back on the field. Rabada vs Rahane to resume proceedings...

  • 8:02 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Great news! The covers are off and play will resume at 1630 local! No overs lost.

    Umpires are coming out for inspection.

  • 7:12 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    Trouble? Aleem Dar and Bongani Jele have got together. They have just witnessed a flash of lightning in the sky and for safety concern, they have taken the PLAYERS OFF THE FIELD. Fair enough. Cannot risk the player's lives. It is not raining yet, but it sure seems to be round the corner.

  • 7:07 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

  • 7:06 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! The confidence of the batsman at the other end seems to be rubbing on Rahane too. This is a length ball, Rahane just swipes across the line and gets it well over mid-wicket for a boundary. IND 196/2 in 33.3 overs

  • 7:05 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    HUNDRED! FOUR! Shikhar Dhawan gets to his 13th ODI century in style. This is full in length, Dhawan just pushes it down the ground and hurries to the other end to complete his 100th run. But the ball is so well timed that it beats the diving mid off fielder and goes to the fence. The southpaw raises both his arms towards the dressing room with a smile. He has been audacious at times and commanding throughout. He is the first Indian to hit a century in his 100th ODI. IND 191/2 in 33.1 overs vs SA in Wanderers

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    OUT! The bowling change has done the trick for the Men in Pink! Who is the man walking back? The thorn in their flesh, Virat Kohli, who is dismissed after 281 runs. Chris Morris hurls it on a length outside off, Virat walks down and across to hit it over covers. Fails to get the desired elevation and ends up finding Miller stationed there to perfection. He seldom misses such dollies and takes this nicely. Virat is not happy with what he has done. The 158-run partnership is broken and the Proteas would sense an opening here. India 178/2 in 31.1 overs vs South Africa

    Andile Phehlukwayo to Virat Kohli, 2 runs.​ 100 runs partnership off 100 balls comes up for Kohli and Dhawan. Nice way to bring up the 100-RUN ASSOCIATION between Dhawan and Kohli. This one is short in length, Kohli pulls it all along the ground towards deep mid-wicket for a brace. After an early wicket once again the initiative is wrested back by India.​

  • 6:01 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! Dhawan displays some confidence here. Now this is getting too easy for Shikhar. Length delivery around middle and leg, he gets inside the line and just wrists it through mid-wicket.

Gets underneath the ball and just smashes it straight back for half a dozen. That traveled as straight as a line drawn with the help of a scale. What's more, he holds his pose after playing that just for the cameras to do their bit.​ IND 86/1 in 16.3 overs.

    FOUR! Kohli has his eyes set on the ball and Rabada has to pay heavily for it. Sloppy. Full around middle and off, Kohli gets across and flicks it away through mid-wicket. The man there was late to get down to his left and lets it through for a boundary.​ IND 44/1 in 7.4 overs.

    FOUR! A one-bounce delight by Dhawan. Authoritative. Short in length around middle and leg, Dhawan is waiting for that and just swivels and pulls it away over the man in front of square on the leg side. Pollock on air reckons that since the southpaw didn't look comfortable in the Tests against the short ball, this tactic is used by the Proteas. Our statsman Vic here, observes that Shikhar didn't look in control here as well.

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    WICKET! Rabada removes Rohit for 5 runs. Excellent, excellent catch from Rabada, Rohit's wretched run with the bat continues. The last three deliveries were in the same zone and were driven back to the bowler. Rabada delivers this one again on a fuller length around off. All Sharma can do is spoon it back aerially towards the bowler. Now comes the terrific part of this wicket. Kagiso dives forward in his followthrough and seems to have taken it inches over the ground with his fingers underneath that. Throws the ball up in celebration after completing the tumbling effort. Aleem Dar goes upstairs and after multiple looks, the decision is returned in favour of the bowler. The Indians yet again lose one early in the piece. India 20/1 in 3.5 overs vs South Africa in Wanderers.

    FOUR! With his purple patch, Dhawan continues to delight. Shot! My colleague was just looking at the field set-up and observed that there is no mid off in place. The man there is at a very wide position, almost at extra covers. Dhawan gets a full delivery and he seems to have heard my colleague. Just times his push down the ground through that vacant position and earns a boundary. IND 12/0 in 2.5 overs.

  • 4:39 PM (IST)

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    FOUR! A gentle touch and it goes for a boundary. Delectable stroke. But half the help is done by Rabada who bowled a low full toss around off. Rohit gets his stride out and just times his cover drive to perfection. First quadruple of the match.​ IND 7/0 in 1.5 overs.

    Morkel concedes two in this over. Morne Morkel to Shikhar Dhawan, no run. Beaten again. Around good length but closer to the off stump, the ball moved in a touch after pitching.

    So! It's time for the bat-ball contest to get underway. Two humans walk out in blue among the eleven, who jog out in pink. These thirteen follow the two dressed in black. Enough of colors.

    India vs South Africa Cricket Score Live Updates

    India's indomitable cricket team looks set for a landmark series triumph but an injury-ravaged South Africa would hope for some AB de Villiers magic to halt the visitors' charge in the fourth ODI on Saturday. With an unassailable 3-0 lead in hand, India need just one more win to claim their maiden ODI series triumph on the South African soil. The closest they came was in 2010-11 when under Mahendra Singh Dhoni, they shot into a 2-1 lead only to lose the five-match series 3-2. India had previously broken into unchartered territory at Newlands when, for the first time since they began touring here in 1992-93, they won three matches in a bilateral ODI engagement in South Africa.
