4th over Mohammed Shami gives India breakthrough with a fuller delivery that de Kock drives to Virat Kohli who takes a low catch at midoff. South Africa 121.

India innings:

3rd over A terrible mixup between India's openers and a brilliant piece of fielding by South Africa captain AB de Villiers results in Rohit Sharma trudging off with a sixball duck. De Villiers' direct hit from over 20 metres and almost perpendicular to the wicket has a stumbling Sharma a foot short of his ground. India: 91.

5th over Generating express pace Dale Steyn softens up Shikhar Dhawan with some shortpitched bowling and the opener clumsily checks a pull shot that falls just shy of a diving Wayne Parnell at short midwicket. India 101.

8th over With Steyn proving a handful Dhawan and number three batsman Virat Kohli go after Vernon Philander each smacking a boundary to take 10 runs off the seamer. India: 291.

9th over De Villiers introduces legspinner Imran Tahir into the attack. Concedes three runs in a tidy over. India: 321.

10th over Seamer Morne Morkel introduced into the attack and Dhawan looking increasingly comfortable slices him over point to the fence. India: 361.

15th over Philander leaves the field with an apparent hamstring problem. India: 611

17th over Tahir hits Dhawan on the front pad and South Africa appeal heartily after the deflection pops up in the air and is caught by wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock. The appeal is turned down and South Africa mull a review but decide against it. India: 701.

18th over Dhawan brings up his 50 by smashing a boundary off allrounder Parnell past third man. India: 771.

20th over Diving right at backward point Hashim Amla puts down a tough but quite catchable cut shot by Dhawan on 53 off the bowling of Parnell. India: 831.

22nd over Huge proIndia crowd roars as their team given a free hit when Parnell adjudged to have noballed a decision shown to be wrong by the television replay. Kohli smacks the bowler for two runs. India: 941

25th over Steyn growls his displeasure at team mate Faf du Plessis when the fielder gives up a second run from overthrows in the over with a deflection from a needless throw at the stumps. India: 1231.

28th over Kohli dismissed for 46 when he bashes a full toss off Tahir straight to Faf du Plessis at short midwicket. Partnership with Dhawan broken after 127 runs. India: 1382.

33rd over Next man in Ajinkya Rahane pulls Parnel for a boundary and edge eludes wicket keeper de Kock for another four. India 1702.

35th over Rahane hits a wide Parnell delivery to backward point boundary. Dhawan reaches his seventh ODI century with a boundary off the final delivery of the over. India: 1832.

36th over India take batting powerplay. Rahane hits Duminy's fifth delivery through extra cover and follows it up with another boundary this time through fine leg. India: 1952.

39th over Morkel's second delivery rises alarmingly but no harm to Rahane who responds with two boundaries in the over. India: 2142.

40th over Dhawan picks Steyn's slower delivery and sends it over midon for a flat six. Steyn bangs the next one short and Dhawan guides it over the wicketkeeper's head to register his highest ODI score. India: 2272.

41st over Dhawan walks across and nonchalantly flicks Morkel's second delivery over the square leg boundary. Rahane takes a single off the final delivery to bring up his fifty in 40 balls. India: 2372.

43rd over Rahane charges out to hit Tahir's second delivery to clear the longon fielder for a six. India: 2542.

44th over Dhawan falls after making 137 trying to pull a short Parnell delivery only to find Amla at long leg. Next man in Suresh Raina opens his account with a boundary. India: 2663.

45th over Substitute fielder Rilee Rossouw drops Raina at deep square leg but redeems himself two balls later taking a chest high catch to send back the batsman. India: 2714.

46th over Rahane hits his third six hitting Steyn over midoff but is trapped leg before by the next trying to hit it through leg side. India: 2785.

48th over De Villiers ends Ravindra Jadeja's brief stay with a direct throw at the nonstriker's stumps after the batsman set off for a risky single. India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni hits Parnell for three successive boundaries which unsettles the bowler who follows up with a wide delivery. India: 2976.
