India vs South Africa LIVE: Dew making things tough for India!

SA 83-1 (15)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Asking rate 7.82 for South Africa!
Spin has completely taken over as Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja are bowling in tandem. South Africa need to keep an eye at the asking rate too as it has reached really close to 8. In Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram, they have two really good batters of spin bowling.
SA 62-1(12)
India vs South Africa LIVE: End of 10 overs!
That’s the end of the first powerplay. India claimed one wicket and ensured South Africa didn’t get away. The Proteas managed just 51 runs in the phase. The hosts have bowled well so far despite noticeable dew on the ground.
SA 51-1 (10)
India vs South Africa LIVE: SIX from Aiden Markram!
A bit of room for Aiden Markram, and he slammed it over backward point for a BIGGIE! It was a short ball into the body but Markram adjusted himself really well for that shot. This is a much-needed over for South Africa as their runs had almost dried up. They’ve scored 11 in this one.
SA 49-1 (9)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Injury scare for Bavuma!
8.3 - A Prasidh Krishna delivery has hit Temba Bavuma on the elbow and we have a short stoppage in play. The ball rose from a length and hit the South Africa captain's right elbow. The physio is checking on the batter and the match is set to resume now.
India vs South Africa LIVE: FOUR!
Temba Bavuma struck it down the ground for four. Prasidh Krishna bowled it fuller, and the South Africa captain failed to keep it down. It was hit hard, so Krishna went for a half-hearted attempt, but the ball went past to the right of his outstretched hand for the boundary.
SA 42-1 (8.1)
India vs South Africa LIVE: India keep it tight!
South Africa scored 18 runs in the first two overs, but India have managed to pull things back beautifully since then. Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh are both using the swing on offer to their advantage.
SA 35-1 (7)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Breakthrough for India!
Arshdeep Singh strikes! Quinton de Kock is GONE! It was a fuller delivery from Arshdeep, and de Kock tried to play it across to the leg side but ended up hitting it high in the air. A bit of swing made the southpaw do the error. Washington Sundar moved to his right from mid-on and took the catch.
Quinton de Kock c Washington Sundar b Arshdeep Singh 8(11)
SA 26-1 (4.5)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Good bowling!
Harshit Rana conceded just three singles in this over. He cramped both Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram for room. A couple of deliveries are swinging really well out of Harshit’s hand. South Africa, however, remain wicketless.
SA 25-0 (4)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Poor start for Harshit Rana!
Harshit Rana leaked 13 runs in his second over, getting smashed for three fours by Aiden Markram. Runs have come quite easily for South Africa so far - the ball is coming nicely onto the bat.
SA 18-0 (2)
India vs South Africa LIVE: FOUR from Quinton de Kock!
First boundary of the South Africa innings! It was a fuller ball from Arshdeep Singh outside off stump. Quinton de Kock pushed it through the off side for four, placing it perfectly in the gap through point, and the fast outfield did the rest.
SA 5/0 (1 over)
India vs South Africa LIVE: India lose a review!
That was pitched on length by Arshdeep Singh. The ball seamed into Aiden Markram and struck him on the back foot. The umpire was unconvinced despite a huge shout for LBW, and India referred it upstairs - only to find out that the ball would have gone over the stumps.
SA 0-0 (0.3)
India vs South Africa LIVE: The chase begins!
Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram are out there in the middle. The right-handed batter will take the striker. Arshdeep Singh has been handed the new ball. Here we go... The left-arm pacer starts with a fuller delivery. It shaped into Markram and he defended it on the front foot.
India vs South Africa LIVE: Gaikwad shares his approach
"Last game I was really gutted to miss out on a knock. It was a really good wicket and the conditions were suited for me, could have easily scored a few runs. So really gutted last game and thankfully it came out really well today," said Ruturaj Gaikwad.
"Today it was more suitable for me, I went out to bat around the 11th over, and I told myself to approach it as if I was already 25 or 30 balls in after powerplay and bat accordingly, look to rotate strike. Until 15-20 overs it was slightly two-paced but after that it got better and we worked on that," he added.
India vs South Africa LIVE: Brilliant bowling
Lungi Ngidi does even better this time, conceding just four singles in his final over. The right-arm pacer ends his quota of 10 overs with figures of 1 for 51. On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja must be feeling the pressure for his poor strike rate of 76 - he has scored 19 off 25 balls.
IND 340-5 (49)
India vs South Africa LIVE: FIFTY for KL Rahul!
Back-to-back FIFTIES for KL Rahul! He’s having a superb series against South Africa at the number 6 spot. Coming to the shot - Marco Jansen bowled a short ball with width on offer, and Rahul slashed it hard through backward point for four.
IND 332-5 (47.2)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Good bowling
Good change of pace from Lungi Ngidi in his ninth over. He conceded only five singles. Once again, South Africa are pulling things back, and they’re doing it at a really good time. India have 18 balls left in the innings.
IND 327-5 (47)
India vs South Africa LIVE: CATCH DROPPED!
Matthew Breetzke made a huge blunder on the fourth ball of Marco Jansen’s over. He dropped an easy catch of KL Rahul. The batter cut it away but found the fielder in the deep. Luckily for him, it was put down. Just five runs came off the over.
IND 322-5 (46)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Eight-run over
Eight runs came off Aiden Markram’s sixth over. Ravindra Jadeja was too defensive in his approach, while KL Rahul played his shots fearlessly. The wicketkeeper-batter got a poor ball down the leg side from Markram and smashed it away for four. He is now on 43 off 27 balls.
IND 317-5 (45)
India vs South Africa LIVE: FOUR from Jadeja!
That’s the second FOUR of the over from Corbin Bosch. It was a fuller delivery from the pacer, and Ravindra Jadeja lofted it over the mid-off fielder for the boundary. Twelve runs came off the over. India could now aim for a total around 370 from this point.
IND 309-5 (44)
India vs South Africa LIVE: 300 up for Team India!
A much-needed boundary for India! The runs had dried up, but KL Rahul has given the side a little impetus with this four on the leg side. That also takes India past the 300 mark - delayed, but finally there.
IND 304-5 (43.4)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Another good over for Proteas!
South Africa have pulled things back a bit. They’ve conceded just 11 runs in the last three overs and managed to pick up two wickets. India still have 48 balls left in this innings, and they look all set to cross the 350-run mark.
IND 295-5 (42)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Sundar is run out!
An unnecessary wicket! Washington Sundar reverse-swept the ball to the fielder at short third and tried to take a single that was never there. KL Rahul denied the run, and Sundar failed to get back to his end in time.

That is the end of Virat Kohli's knock here in Raipur! He has found the fielder at long-on and departs for 102. Kohli tried to take on Lungi Ngidi but found Aiden Markram after getting a toe end of his bat. India are four down.
Kohli c Markram b Ngidi 102(93)
IND 284-4 (39.1)
India vs South Africa LIVE: CENTURY for KING KOHLI!
There it is! Virat Kohli has smashed his 53rd ODI century. Two games and two tons for KING KOHLI! He is back in his groove. The veteran batter is enjoying his time out there against South Africa. That’s the 84th international century for him.
IND 275-3 (38)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Ruturaj Gaikwad is GONE!
Ruturaj Gaikwad is OUT! He has found the fielder at deep backward square leg. Gaikwad couldn’t carry his innings much further after scoring the century, but that doesn’t take anything away from him. The third-wicket partnership has been broken after 195 runs.
Gaikwad c de Zorzi b Marco Jansen 105(83)
IND 257-3 (35.4)
India vs South Africa LIVE: CENTURY for Ruturaj Gaikwad!
33.4 - A four to the wide of mid-on, and with it, Ruturaj Gaikwad registers his first ODI century. What an innings this has been from the player! He took his time as he struggled at the beginning but later got hold of things. This is the second international century for the right-handed batter, who also has a T20I hundred to his name.
India vs South Africa LIVE: FOUR! That is a 'tracer bullet'!
A fuller delivery from Corbin Bosch and Virat Kohli also blew away Ruturaj Gaikwad at the non-stiker's end with a powerful shot. That was like a tracer bullet. The ball raced to the fence for a four in no time.
IND 238-2 (33.1)
India vs South Africa LIVE: SIX from Virat Kohli!
A typical Virat Kohli moment this is - jumping down the track on the very first ball from a pacer and unsettling him with a boundary. It was a short ball from Marco Jansen, and Kohli smashed it wide of mid-on for four.
IND 227-2(32.1)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Kohli is lucky there!
A fuller ball from Corbin Bosch, and Virat Kohli tried to flick it to the leg side. He couldn’t get the connection right and ended up hitting it high in the air. Luckily for the batter, the ball fell to the right of the mid-on fielder, who ran across but failed to get there in time.
IND 214-2 (31.2)
India vs South Africa LIVE: 200 up for Team India!
Lungi Ngidi bowled a five-run over, but Corbin Bosch leaked nine in the following one. India have crossed the 200-run mark with 20 overs still remaining. They should aim for something over 350. Will that be a safe target against South Africa's deep and power-packed batting line-up? One cannot answer this question with certainty.
IND 207-2 (30)
India vs South Africa LIVE: SIX, FOUR from Gaikwad!
Keshav Maharaj has been smashed for 16 runs in this over. Ruturaj Gaikwad hit the spinner for a six over long-on and a four wide of the same area. Runs are flowing for India, as they have scored 35 off the last three overs.
IND 193-2 (28)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Partnership of 100!
There is the century stand! The boundaries are flowing again. Kohli glances this fine down the leg side to bring up the 100-run partnership with Gaikwad.
IND: 162/2 (25.1)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Kohli joins the party!
Kohli too brings up his fifty with a single! Back-to-back scores of 50 or more for The King. 75th half-century in ODIs in addition to 52 tons. There's no stopping him at the moment. India are cruising as well
IND: 156/2 (24.3)
India vs South Africa LIVE: 50 for Gaikwad!
Ruturaj Gaikwad brings up his fifty! Only his second in ODIs. Reached 49 with a boundary and now taps it to long-on to achieve the milestone
IND: 151/2 (23.5)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Kohli finds the gap!
Kohli thrashes it through covers! Tossed too full and wide, and Kohli punishes Markram. No chance for the two fielders in the deep and Kohli pierces the gap with authority. He moves in the 40s.
IND: 133/2 (21.5)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Boundary at last!
Kohli goes down the ground! Gaikwad had to duck out of the way. That was hit with a lot of power. There goes the boundary drought. The last one had come exactly six over back.
IND: 118/2 (19.4)
India vs South Africa LIVE: 50-run stand between Kohli and Rutu!
The partnership between Kohli and Ruturaj is 50. 55 balls taken. However, no boundaries in over five overs. There is an interesting stat regarding Kohli! He has scored back to back hundred 10 times and has a hat-trick of Centuries once
IND: 112/2 (18.5)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Sensible batting!
These two haven't shown any signs of restlessness. Pretty sensilble batting approach, rotating the strike and punishing the bad ones. Kohli has been more cautious than Gaikwad, who has managed to sneak in a few boundaries
IND: 104/2 (17)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Gaikwad gets lucky!
Clears the fine-leg boundary! That was an excellent bouncer. Gaikwad does enough to pull this into the stands. Gaikwad has got a good start. Hopefully, he will get a big score today. First six of his ODI career
IND: 92/2 (13.4)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Jansen with a brilliant spell!
Jansen deserves a lot of credit for the way he has bowled so far. His fellow quicks had some trouble at the start, but his injection into the attack has helped South Africa in pegging India back. 14 runs and a wicket in his three overs thus far
IND: 77/2 (11)
India vs South Africa LIVE: WICKET!
Jaiswal departs! You could sense that it was coming. He mistimes a pull and Jansen strikes. Bosch takes an easy catch at square leg. He once again fails to convert a start.
IND: 62/2 (9.4)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Jaiswal living on the edge!
Maharaj could've dismissed Jaiswal three times in that over. The southpaw went for the reverse-pull this time, without change in grip. However, the ball fell short of Brevis at cover.
IND: 61/1 (8.6)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Rohit joins elite list!
Rohit Sharma becomes the only the fourth Indian to score 9000 or more runs at home in international cricket

7796 - Virender Sehwag (Asia/India)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Kohli pull this for a six!
Kohli is off the mark in style! Short and wide on leg stump, around rib-height. Kohli uses the pace and flicks this towards over fine leg for a six. There was a fielder in the deep but he could only see it sail over his head.
IND: 46/1 (5.6)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Rohit cannot believe it!
Rohit is shocked! Rohit looked to defend the ball straight, but the ball went past his outside edge. There was a loud appeal from Quinton de Kock behind the wicket for a caught behind. He convinced Bavuma for the DRS and the Snicko shows a spike when the ball was close to the bat. Rohit looked unhappy but has to walk back
IND: 40/1 (4.5)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Raining boundaries in Raipur!
Three boundaries on the trot! India are flying at the moment. It is raining extras. Now, the boundaries are also coming in from the bat of Rohit Sharma
IND: 40/0 (4.3)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Ngidi with a tidy over!
Much better from Ngidi! Just five runs off it. We are four overs down and Rohit Sharma has played just three legal deliveries so far. South Africa's bowling has been all over the place in these early exchanges.
IND: 28/0 (4)
India vs South Africa LIVE: Bizarre from SA bowlers!
South Africa have already given away 12 extras in the first three overs. They had conceded 23 extras in the first ODI, while India gave away six. The difference was the exact margin of defeat - 17 runs!
India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI LIVE: Marathon over comes to an end!
Ngidi has just bowled a 10-ball over! Thankfully for SA, it only yields eight runs. 10 extras in 8 balls, including six wides. That's bizarre bowling at this level. Burger and Ngidi have not been able to deal with the natural swing
IND: 22/0 (2)
India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI LIVE: India are off and running!
Burger fires this wide down the leg and Quinton de Kock can't do much there to stop it. Five extras for India. The keeper dived to his right but the swing took the ball away from his reach. India won't mind those.
IND: 10/0 (0.1)
India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI LIVE: Jaiswal is off the mark!
That's intent, right there! Overpitched from Burger, and Jaiswal square drives it in the air. Manages to find the gap and India are off and running. Jaiswal is off the mark in style!
IND: 4/0 (0.1)
India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI LIVE: All set!
Right, we're moments away from the start. The South African players and the Indian openers are all in readiness. Nandre Burger will bowl the first over to Yashasvi Jaiswal
India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI LIVE: Here's what the captains said!
Rahul: "(On losing another toss) Honestly, that's the most pressure I've had because we haven't won a toss in a long time. I've been practising, but clearly it's not working. I think we did really well last game. A lot of positives from the last game, so just trying to continue that. And, come out here, play hard cricket again. They pushed us last game as well. We know what to expect. The boys are looking in good shape. And I'm excited about this game. Before the series as well, we spoke about it (dew). This is a time in India where there is a lot of dew. We're expecting dew in every place that we play. So, the bowlers have spoken about it. A few tactics and a few things that we've spoken about, which I think we did really well in the last game. So, that'll give our bowling team a lot of confidence. Just carry from there and keep getting better. If we put runs on board and pick up a few wickets early on, then it becomes a bit easier for us. The wicket looks good. The only reason any team opt to bat second is the dew factor and not much to do with the wicket."
Bavuma: "We are gonna have a bowl. (On the pitch) It's very hard to say, to be honest. We're hoping that as the night comes in, the dew comes in, it gets a bit easier with the ball skidding more. But it's very hard to say what it's going to play like. A lot of positives (from the last game). We did very well to get the game to that point, looking at the way we started in our first 10 overs of our batting, it shows that belief is there."
India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI LIVE: India script unwanted record!
India have set a new, unwanted world record for consecutive ODI toss losses (20), extending a streak that started around the 2023 World Cup final. Meanwhile, this will only be the 2nd ODI at this venue, with the first being played in 2023 between India and New Zealand.
India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI LIVE: Bavuma wins toss!
South Africa have won the toss and they will bowl first in Raipur. Three changes for the Proteas as Bavuma confirms, "me, Keshav and Ngidi come in". India remain unchanged from the previous game. We will get the confirmation soon regarding the players who are sitting out for SA. Rickelton, Subrayen and Baartman have been dropped!
India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI LIVE: Good news for SA!
Temba Bavuma is back! The Proteas captain has the team sheet in his hands and is making his way into the middle for the toss. He should replace one out of Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton, both of whom scored ducks in Ranchi. Won't be surprised if Keshav Maharaj too is thrown back into the mix
India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI LIVE: Harshit Rana comes good!
Harshit Rana claimed 3 for 65 in Ranchi, including the wickets of Ryan Rickelton and Quinton de Kock in the same over. The pacer shared his experiences bowling in India, highlighting the need to vary his approach to adapt to different phases of the game.
"In India, I feel that bowling is a little different because here you have to be more dependent on variations because in every phase, you have to play a different role, that you have to go a little defensive in one phase, you have to go a little attacking in the other phase," Rana said after the match.
India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI LIVE: Pant to replace Gaikwad?
Ruturaj Gaikwad has been piling runs for Maharashtra in List A cricket. In what was his first ODI appearance in two years, the CSK skipper was pushed from opening to No 4. Despite managing just eight runs in Ranchi, Gaikwad is likely to keep his place in the team, although there have been calls to include Rishabh Pant in the XI.
India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI LIVE: No Stopping RoKo!
A record-extending 52nd ODI century by Kohli and a rapid 57 from Rohit paved the way for India's 17-run win in the series-opener at Ranchi, where the home bowlers endured a spirited fightback from the Proteas before managing to stop them.
