Bring on The Tail!

Hello Tahir!
The Proteas now need Tahir and Rabada to work as well as they did in the first innings - only this time, they’re facing the music.
SA: 208/8 after 40 overs(40 needed off 10 overs)
Umesh Joins The Party
India’s third seamer picks his first wicket. Dale Steyn sent packing for a 16-ball-13 by Umesh.
South Africa may just fall short of taking it ‘down to the wire’ today.
SA: 188/7 after 37 overs(60 needed off 13 overs)
de Villiers Gone! Cat in the Bag?
Given Amit Sharma’s spot in the squad, Mohit Sharma hasn’t taken much screen-space during this match but now no one’s complaining!
The quickie gets AB de Villiers out for a 20-ball-19. Virat Kohli with the catch. Dale Steyn is walking in now.
SA: 171/6 after 33 overs(77 needed from 17 overs)
Teen Balls se Do Shikaar
South Africa are now five down in Indore and this looks like the series equaliser we wanted!
Axar Patel finished his 8th over with the very vital wicket of Faf du Plessis. The SA batsman had just scored his 50 when he sends one flying to Virat Kohli. And of course Virat’s not going to let go. Out for 51.
One delivery later, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has the ball and the new man as well!
David Miller out first ball after edging one to our captain.
SA: 142/5 after 27 overs(need 106 off 23 overs)
