SportsTranscript
00:00:00The Indian skipper has done a tremendous job to get back there.
00:00:19Well, she's got grounders on the half way.
00:00:23Ridiculous running with two balls to go.
00:00:27What a joke.
00:00:30Good evening.
00:00:40Welcome along to highlights from day 22 of the World Cup.
00:00:43And we have a fantastic game to bring you tonight.
00:00:49The co-hosts India were back in action, looking to secure their place in the quarterfinals.
00:00:54Their opponents, South Africa, were looking to get back to winning ways after defeat in Chennai.
00:01:00And the latest news from the England camp after yesterday's poor performance.
00:01:08We're going to go into the West Indies game as positive as we've ever been and, you know, try to get ourselves into half the group stages.
00:01:16Yes, a busy show tonight and to talk you through it all, I'm joined by Bob Willis and Nick Knight.
00:01:25So let's remind you how Group B looked at the start of the day.
00:01:29India led the group and were the only unbeaten side.
00:01:32They were looking to secure a last eight spot with a win today.
00:01:35South Africa had only played three games and had looked impressive so far in the tournament until that late collapse against England.
00:01:42So today's game was from India, of course, from the central Indian city of Nagpur.
00:01:50We were at the Vodaba Cricket Association Stadium where a full house was guaranteed.
00:01:57Now the toss was won by MS Dhoni, who to a huge roar from the capacity crowd decided to bat first.
00:02:03Team news. Both sides made one change.
00:02:10India left out leg spinner Piers Chawler from the side that beat Ireland by 44 runs and they included Seema Munaf Patel.
00:02:18South Africa decided not to risk their star leg spinner Imran Tahir, who fractured a thumb whilst dismissing Jonathan Trott in Chennai
00:02:25and went for off spinner Johan Bota instead.
00:02:29India to bat first then. Here's what happened.
00:02:31So many watching what will happen here as the battle begins.
00:02:43Stain to Sewak. We're off.
00:02:49Shot. Very good shot.
00:02:52Helped over Mid-On for four.
00:02:55Fantastic start by Ferenda Sewak.
00:02:58It doesn't matter if it is Saiful Islam or it is Dale Stain.
00:03:03If the ball is in his half, he's going to smack it.
00:03:06Fractionally overpitched.
00:03:07And where goes the Deli Bomber.
00:03:14Yes, picking it over Mid-On and this is a fast outfield already.
00:03:18Well, what a start and this game set up nicely.
00:03:27Big shout.
00:03:28Huge shout.
00:03:30Not out.
00:03:32Says umpire Simon Taupel.
00:03:33A bit of a thought from Mone van Weyck.
00:03:37He's run up to the stumps and had a bit of a chat to the bowler.
00:03:42There's the thing with Sewak.
00:03:43He doesn't move his feet much.
00:03:45He stays on the side of the ball.
00:03:46So if it hits his front pad, you more often than not see middle and off stump.
00:03:52Which clearly suggests this would have gone down the leg side.
00:04:02Oh, beautiful delivery.
00:04:03Dale Stain will be looking to ensure that he uses his strength.
00:04:09Which is bowling quick and swinging the ball up front.
00:04:14And this one will be interesting to see is the pace in this pitch as well.
00:04:18I think it will be a little bit on the slower side.
00:04:21As compared to some of the other pitches we've seen here in Nagpur.
00:04:29Edged and gone for four.
00:04:32Oh dear.
00:04:33Mone Morko cannot believe it.
00:04:37It's the perfect delivery.
00:04:39It's what he's looking for.
00:04:40But nobody went for it.
00:04:45Cracking delivery.
00:04:46This is right on the money.
00:04:48And it was a tentative poke.
00:04:50It had to be the keeper's catch.
00:04:52There's no way Graham Smith would have been expected to take that.
00:04:57It was a regulation catch for the keeper.
00:04:59Quick single.
00:05:00It's one for four.
00:05:01It's one for four.
00:05:01Four overthrows.
00:05:02There was backup.
00:05:03But it went through them.
00:05:05In the air.
00:05:06Nobody on that side.
00:05:07One bounce and over the fence for four.
00:05:12Well, he'll be disappointed.
00:05:15Dale staying here.
00:05:16The field is set on the offside.
00:05:17So once he drifted onto the pads, Sevak's eyes would have lit up.
00:05:21Free hit for him, really.
00:05:22It's using the pace of the baller.
00:05:23Picking it up.
00:05:24One bounce over the rope.
00:05:25So the Indians off to a flyer.
00:05:26Third boundary for Sevak.
00:05:29Third boundary for Sevak.
00:05:32It will be reached.
00:05:35So the Indians are off to a flyer.
00:05:51third boundary for Sevaag
00:05:55it's a big miss from a quality operator
00:06:00there's confirmation of where the field is
00:06:02the two men out on the offside
00:06:04it's missed again and it's gone for four
00:06:08wide
00:06:08and Steyn can't believe it
00:06:15there was a look from first step from Graham Smith
00:06:18towards Steyn saying
00:06:19what's going on here
00:06:21one bounce into third man boundary
00:06:31one of his favorite shots Sevaag
00:06:33he's got to be mindful of that fielder at third man
00:06:36but he played it wide enough
00:06:38great shot
00:06:43absolutely brilliant from Sevaag
00:06:46what do you do as a fastballer
00:06:52not much wrong with this delivery
00:06:56as you will find out when you see it but this is magnificent stuff
00:07:01standing up tall
00:07:03just dismissed from his presence with utter disdain by Sevaag
00:07:08full length delivery and he's gone for the off drive
00:07:17the second boundary of the over
00:07:19this terrific cricket here
00:07:21he's gone for it
00:07:26the third boundary of the over
00:07:28this is a real trace of bullet as it goes past the man at point
00:07:36it flashes past him
00:07:38short ball is gone for it
00:07:43hasn't quite timed it as well
00:07:46but this is a quick outfield
00:07:47the 50 comes up for India
00:07:51this is going to be for everything going India's way at the moment
00:08:01seven of us gone it's 57 for the weekend
00:08:05great shot
00:08:10full length delivery and dispatch for four
00:08:13that's the strength of this man
00:08:20he already lent a little bit
00:08:23he'll put it away
00:08:24he's done that in style
00:08:25a good wicket
00:08:26not much of movement
00:08:27he's hit through the line
00:08:31that's a good shot
00:08:35it was in the air
00:08:36but he picked the cap beautifully
00:08:39that's what you do in one day cricket
00:08:42hit a bit on the up
00:08:45he was lucky to bisect the cover and the short cover fielder
00:08:48I'm telling you it's not the first time that a good ball has been hit for four
00:08:54have a look at it
00:08:55a decent length
00:08:58it wasn't too wide
00:08:59hit on the up
00:09:00these two class batsmen are trusting this pitch
00:09:03once again Ryan runs from the over with one ball to go
00:09:08it's going to be a test of Graham Smith's captaincy skills at the moment
00:09:17oh that's a great shot again
00:09:22that's the Tendulkar trademark
00:09:2514 of the over 70 for no loss after 8
00:09:29like the way he said no
00:09:38South Africa you've got to say have been a little
00:09:42unlike South Africa
00:09:44a bit ragged in the field
00:09:45being overthrows has been a drop catch
00:09:48there again
00:09:50bonus run for India
00:09:52great shot and it's going to be six
00:10:02great shot and it's going to be six
00:10:06he's getting some stick out here in Nakhpur
00:10:08that's short
00:10:16got it what it deserved
00:10:19into position very quickly
00:10:22put it over the square leg boundary
00:10:25big shot good shot made sure that it was wide off mid on
00:10:36picked up the slower ball and put it away for four
00:10:41that's a beautiful shot just making room
00:10:49going inside the ball and playing into out over cover
00:10:54to get to 50
00:10:55it's hit down to mid off sensible batting brings up the hundred for India and just 11.4 overs
00:11:05it's hit down to mid off sensible batting brings up the hundred for India and just 11.4 overs
00:11:19that's the quickest hundred so far in this competition
00:11:23do many into the attack and it goes for four straight away
00:11:30it was short that's what allowed for India to say what to open up that offside
00:11:35very well placed
00:11:37and executed
00:11:38shot very good shot
00:11:46Sachin Tendulkar using his feet and getting
00:11:49to the ball before it pitched
00:11:51and it's gone straight down the ground
00:11:54for four
00:11:55well for me it's it's it's been brilliant watching Sachin because
00:12:00everybody knows that Sebag is a
00:12:02sort of player who intimidates you as a bowler
00:12:05he hits you anywhere and
00:12:06fast bat speed and everything
00:12:09Sachin's just batted all he's done is just
00:12:11played
00:12:12as we know he can play
00:12:1447 or 30 balls
00:12:16outscored
00:12:17here we go
00:12:19over the top again man trying to get round doesn't make it
00:12:23will it go for four
00:12:24no
00:12:26that is a fantastic effort and a catch
00:12:31Aby de Villiers is the man who is
00:12:34at long off
00:12:36and he's got acres and acres to make up to try and get to this
00:12:40not quite as square as he'd have liked Sachin Tendulkar
00:12:44he'd have felt he was safe and have a look at how close Aby de Villiers got
00:12:48big shout huge shout
00:12:54nothing nothing given by the um the crowd
00:12:58they feel it's close
00:13:00graham smith will want to go upstairs and have a look
00:13:03they need a wicket desperately South Africa
00:13:07gotta go surely
00:13:09yes there it is
00:13:12looking from the naked eye
00:13:16on field call
00:13:17on field call missing the stops
00:13:20so not out the crowd
00:13:24no already
00:13:25robin peterson in his second over has gone for 14 so far
00:13:37Sachin on 49
00:13:39he's gone for the single as
00:13:43oh pretty close
00:13:45to Savard getting run out but no
00:13:47it's Sachin Tendulkar
00:13:49getting to
00:13:50one day international
00:13:5215 number
00:13:5394
00:13:54it's off just 33 deliveries
00:14:00much quicker
00:14:02than the brutal Savard
00:14:05it's been Sachin who's been brutal today
00:14:08oh goodness
00:14:13that has been absolutely smoked
00:14:16he hit that so hard
00:14:18it went a long way up in the air
00:14:20and in the end
00:14:22it was about two yards over the boundary
00:14:25it made a cracking sound off the bat
00:14:28I'm right with you
00:14:31when he hit it
00:14:32I thought it was 14 rows back
00:14:34it went so high
00:14:35look at it
00:14:36Amla makes a lot of ground here
00:14:39just
00:14:40gets over the rope in the end
00:14:43a little bit low on the bat maybe
00:14:45maybe that was it
00:14:47six nevertheless
00:14:49beautifully placed
00:14:56a long hop
00:14:59and Savard had ample time
00:15:02to hit it wherever he wanted off the back foot
00:15:05now did he get some edge there there seem to be two sounds
00:15:13oh is it the bat hitting the club
00:15:17there definitely was a sound
00:15:18I heard the same two sounds as you did
00:15:22yeah
00:15:22it's got a very very thick edge on it
00:15:26bold in
00:15:29that's gone through
00:15:31Savard giving himself room
00:15:33to hit it through the offside
00:15:35just seemed a casual shot
00:15:37that brings about an end to a terrific partnership
00:15:42I don't know whether he's just misjudged the length here
00:15:46whether this just
00:15:50came on to him a little bit quicker than he thought
00:15:53is he late on it
00:15:54oh he's nicked it
00:15:55nicked it onto the off stump
00:15:57his missing leg
00:15:58wonderful entertainment

00:16:40Gautam Gambir
00:16:41well if that's how he's going to get in
00:16:42South Africa is going to have problems
00:16:44he's down the wicket

00:16:46room to swing
00:16:47free his arms
00:16:48one bounce into the advertising board

00:17:42they're going to get their team back in this game
00:17:43they're going to get their team back in this game
00:17:44good fielder out there he's faster he's got a good arm cutting that down just to
00:17:48one South African fastballers did go for runs they did create opportunities
00:17:53though Graham Smith maybe thought well if he carries on maybe they will create
00:17:57some more opportunities wasn't to be early on both fastball is disappearing
00:18:03at a rate of knots well that was expected
00:18:08Tendulkar was looking at the scorecard and he's saying well the run rate has
00:18:12dipped a bit this is something he's looking to do in this situation he's
00:18:17hitting some sixes in this tournament and at crucial times calculated risk is
00:18:22hit six sixes so far in the tournament eight sixes and this is the last one
00:18:30we always look to the other bigger fellas of heading boundaries towards the end of
00:18:33the innings but let me tell you when the little master hits them they do stay hit
00:18:42oh missed it almost over balancing on that occasion they look a good delivery
00:18:52Bota drawing the batsman forward
00:18:58oh that's a big heave by Gautam Gambir he had picked his spot over mid on and very
00:19:04rightly so pressure clearly getting to Gautam Gambir he's got 26 of 40 balls where
00:19:12the run rate has been largely in excess of seven touching eight runs and over and
00:19:17this is very unlike him this is like an old-fashioned slog from Gambir
00:19:23taken on the full and he's found the gap
00:19:28you can see the command he has
00:19:32over the bowling and over his own game brings up the 200 for India
00:19:38good shot in the gap as well gone for four
00:19:49good to see you changed your thinking a bit we're talking about 450 with me at the
00:19:56break drinks time I'm just pulling your leg that's the short delivery a loose start by
00:20:03South Africa and very rightly put away by Gautam Gambir that will take the pressure off him a bit
00:20:08up in the air is there man there no in the gap one two three four bounces and four runs
00:20:1712 off the over 215 for one
00:20:22good shot very good shot good use of the feet was quickly down the pitch and over the upside
00:20:35Lance Klusner now alongside me and he'll appreciate that shot thanks pom he got off the mark to a shot
00:20:44like that and he's just done it again it's not the easiest shot in the world to play
00:20:49trust the wicket trust what the ball is doing and he's done just that a couple of bounces into the
00:20:56advertising boards it's gone fine the sweep shot this time it's a fast outfield
00:21:03Faf Duplessis after it and he can't stop it oh dear might have done himself an injury as well
00:21:15four runs to Gambir in India
00:21:19seems to be all right
00:21:23bottom edge and this is commitment this is what South Africa gonna need head first into
00:21:35advertising boards
00:21:37Faf Duplessis is a good fielder it was struck fiercely
00:21:47that's right pom that's the commitment we're gonna need in the field Faf Duplessis again
00:21:55good to see again
00:22:05from Mone Mokul
00:22:07Tendulkar back on strike
00:22:09I think pom with me is to keep part and just let the crowd tell that the story
00:22:11here
00:22:12yes indeed I was just going to explain that the chair was not for the Gambir run necessarily
00:22:17more for the fact that that run brought such in Tendulkar on strike
00:22:23One strike, 99 knocked out from 90 balls, mid-on, mid-off, up in the circle, cover and mid-wicket in place with backward point also in the circle, here's Mochel.
00:22:44Listen to them go.
00:22:53And what wonderful entertainment he's provided, Session Tendulkar, even without his trusty old dirty bet that he normally uses, and he's shown he's good enough.
00:23:06He's got 100 against the wonderful side with an attack.
00:23:10Call it with any old piece or whatever, here we go.
00:23:16There it is. Listen to the applause.
00:23:23Sachin Tendulkar, 99 international 100, 51 in test matches, 48 in one-day internationals, is 6th in World Cup cricket, is 5th against South Africa, is 2nd in this ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.
00:23:49There's a first. It's the first time he's scored 100 here at the VCA Stadium.
00:24:01Gambia on to 50.
00:24:04They cheer again.
00:24:1023rd ODI 50.
00:24:11There we go, it's out the middle of Gautam Gambia's bat, it's one bounce, four runs, just got the feeling that something had to give, those batters reached their milestones, Gautam Gambia the first to respond.
00:24:29Superb shot, he's played a few today, but that could be arguably, or inarguably, Lance the best we've seen in the innings.
00:24:41He stood tall, he's not the tallest of men, but he's on his tiptoes here, a little bit of work from Mornay Morkul, slapped over cover, Sachin Tendulkar, really is at his very, very best.
00:24:54Delight to watch, not nice if you're a South African on the field, certainly spectators here, Mornay Morkul, well, what can you do?
00:25:03Well, Simon Toffel has just made the signal for the batting power play.
00:25:21Slow delivery, he'll get a single this time, slight hesitation, directed, and Gambia would have been heading towards the dressing room.
00:25:28Another chance here for another directed, the same end, much to the delight because the result, that India didn't lose the wicket, but couple of chances, one over, or rather one ball for South Africa.
00:25:42It's a good shot, direct hit, he'd given up, can't go away because there's another shot at the stumps.
00:25:55And once again, a fumble, had he collected it cleanly, there was a chance at the bowlers' end for a directed South African fielding, has been a question mark as of it today.
00:26:11A wonderful shot, Whip for Mornay Morkul, I don't get Whip to do any better, that's it, in particular Gautam Gambia, it's a race past point, no chance for John Paul Dumele there.
00:26:26Races into the boundary.
00:26:28He's just got better and better as the innings as progress, Gautam Gambia making room, using the pace of the bowler.
00:26:38His eyes on the ball, good cutter, Gautam Gambia, small man.
00:26:48Mornay Morkul decides to come over the wicket.
00:26:52First ball, disappearing for four.
00:27:00It's a big one from Gambia.
00:27:04Doesn't get the distance, one bounce.
00:27:08Over the ropes.
00:27:10And that's two consecutive boundaries from the left-hander.
00:27:12This is going to be out.
00:27:21Yes, taken.
00:27:23By the fielder at point.
00:27:25Mornay Morkul gets the wicket.
00:27:27Tendulkar is the man dismissed.
00:27:29He's gone for 111.
00:27:30It's the end of a wonderful innings from Sashen Tendulkar, he's furious with himself.
00:27:40The shot was on, didn't quite make contact.
00:27:43Paul spooning up towards back the point.
00:27:48What a wonderful, wonderful batting exhibition from Sashen Tendulkar.
00:27:51Tendulkar gone for 111.
00:28:01India 267 for two.
00:28:04We saw Virat Kohli and Yuvrat Singh sort of warming up to come in next and quietly Yusuf Pathan has sneaked out.
00:28:10He's 28.
00:28:15He's had one very good cameo against Ireland.
00:28:21Slow delivery.
00:28:23And this could be out.
00:28:25Taken.
00:28:27Didn't get himself into the greatest position possible, but he's got a catch for himself, Kallis.
00:28:31So Gautam Gambhir is holding out to mid-off.
00:28:41This is something that happens in the batting power play.
00:28:44One of the reasons why a lot of batting teams feel that it's more a hindrance than anything else.
00:28:50So India losing two wickets.
00:28:52Gambhir falling in that fashion.
00:28:55Kallis in the end relieved that he hung on to it.
00:28:58I'm going to it.
00:29:00It's 268 for three.
00:29:04Yuvrat Singh is the new batsman in.
00:29:06Just have a look at the scenario here.
00:29:08268 for three, but two batsmen.
00:29:10Both batting on zero.
00:29:13That's the first ball that Yusuf Pathan has faced.
00:29:16Yuvrat Singh at the other end.
00:29:17Hasn't faced a ball yet.
00:29:19So this is a great chance for South Africa to just come back.
00:29:22And make that last session or the last ten over their own.
00:29:25Dotham Gambhir getting out in that fashion.
00:29:29Robin Jackman has just joined me in commentary.
00:29:34Thanks very much Sanjay.
00:29:36You know one of the truest things said.
00:29:39I said to me by Sean Pollock.
00:29:41He's gone for it and well catch taken an extra cover.
00:29:51So Yusuf Pathan has gone for a duck with the second ball.
00:29:56South Africa have truly realized that this is their chance.
00:29:59And what Sean Pollock said was it's not when you take the power play.
00:30:07It's how you bat in them.
00:30:09And at the moment India aren't doing it very well.
00:30:12The two and a half over has been bowled.
00:30:15They're 15 for three and the power play so far.
00:30:18Good catch from Smith.
00:30:19A danger man.
00:30:22And Pathan makes his way back to the pavilion for naught.
00:30:26And the score is 268 for four.
00:30:30I have to say suddenly the scenario has changed a bit here in Nagpur.
00:30:34Mahindra Singh Dhoni is the new back Swinin.
00:30:36India are still in a great position here 268.
00:30:39They are in the 41st over.
00:30:41Projected score still quite good for India.
00:30:47Anything between 3.30, 3.40 on the cards.
00:30:50Maybe even more.
00:30:52South Africa suddenly realized this is a good chance with two new batsmen at the crease.
00:30:57One wicket gone.
00:30:59Last ball.
00:31:01Just maybe shift the pressure from themselves onto the batting team for a while.
00:31:04Tony gets off the mark.
00:31:13The rising delivery first up.
00:31:20Oh, he's gone for it.
00:31:23And that's a bit of a surprise for Johan Bota.
00:31:27It's a six straight towards the side screen.
00:31:30Isn't it Jassi?
00:31:32Just threw that up a little bit too high.
00:31:35And then Juvres doesn't take a second invitation.
00:31:39Not these days.
00:31:41He's in a beautiful run of form at the moment.
00:31:43He's struck that as sweet as he like.
00:31:50Big shout from the off spinner.
00:31:53Byron has a close look, close long look.
00:31:56Graham Smith's raced in from point.
00:32:00Have a little conflag.
00:32:01What do you reckon?
00:32:02What do you reckon?
00:32:03Are we going to go upstairs?
00:32:04They've been there once.
00:32:08They're going there again.
00:32:17And you can see them.
00:32:19It's off the bat, clear deflection, deviation.
00:32:22So that's another poor review called by South Africa.
00:32:25Longhorn getting underneath it takes it.
00:32:28Both are making no mistake.
00:32:29And in the final ball of batting powerplay India lose another one.
00:32:36So four wickets falling in five overs and South Africa back in it.
00:32:38Well this wicket could be really quite crucial because such a good striker of the ball.
00:32:45Slower ball from Kallis.
00:32:46He knows then that he hasn't got all of it.
00:32:47Look, just looks at his bat, waits for the catch to be completed.
00:32:53And he's on his way.
00:32:55The catcher, the catcher, the man who's out.
00:32:58He's gone for 12 from Jordan.
00:33:00And he's on his way.
00:33:01The catcher, the coach, the man who's out.
00:33:02He's gone for 12 from Jordan.
00:33:03He's running in five overs and South Africa back in it.
00:33:04But this wicket could be really quite crucial because such a good striker of the ball.
00:33:06Slower ball from Kalis.
00:33:08He knows then that he hasn't got all of it.
00:33:09Look, just looks at his bat, waits for the catch to be completed.
00:33:12He's on his way.
00:33:14Buta, the catcher.
00:33:16Jovran Singh.
00:33:17And the man who's out.
00:33:19he's gone for 12 from just nine balls but it's 283 now for five
00:33:2630 runs for the loss of four wickets once again batting power play doing the
00:33:37damage for the batting side
00:33:40it's not the first time is it that the the batting power play has been the best bowler
00:33:5030 for 30 for four
00:33:53there we go another one down peterson this time caught and bowled
00:34:03well the indians just losing their way after being in such a commanding position
00:34:09just lost one wicket after another since tindulka is dismissive soft dismissive
00:34:17Virat Kohli just chipping it in the air giving peterson catching practice
00:34:23and wickets falling in a heap another one bites the dust here Kohli goes for one 286 for six
00:34:33so Harbhajan Singh comes out to the middle 286 for six at the moment
00:34:39last five wickets have fallen for just 19 runs
00:34:53four dot balls at the stage is very very valuable indeed
00:34:59what you can also see is that the ball is not quite coming onto the bat it's just slowing
00:35:07up this pitch
00:35:09and it's in turn there
00:35:13the indian spinners will be happy to see this good scene position here from peterson beautiful delivery
00:35:25ball then right on a bunny tail stain full length and it crashes into middle step
00:35:33so wickets are continuing to tumble here for the indians number seven goes down
00:35:39so
00:35:43full and straight that's what they tell you to do
00:35:45and that's exactly what this is a little bit of reverse as well
00:35:51Harbhajan just swinging across the line
00:35:53dangerous player in all sorts of circumstances but not anymore tonight with the bat anyway he's gone for three
00:36:03two ninety three percent
00:36:07so zahir khan has come out to the center
00:36:11and another good over for the south africans just one run of it three to go it's two ninety three for seven
00:36:21peterson doing the right thing attacking the stumps just bearing his flight keeping the ball up to the bat
00:36:29field is in tight too ravi
00:36:35that's in the air there is long on money morkel making no mistake tall man covered ground quickly
00:36:45and wickets just continue to tumble once again zahir looking for the big one
00:36:51only managing to find the fielder in the deep the crowd stunned into silence
00:36:57really is a danger of india not batting their 50 overs here
00:37:03should be knocking that along off and let doni do this work
00:37:07good catch from morkel had to make some ground to his right big tall fella
00:37:13big hands too
00:37:15zahir khan out for naught two ninety four for eight
00:37:21a shishner comes out to the middle who would have thought he would uh get an opportunity to bat
00:37:27with india two sixty seven for one
00:37:33well he certainly didn't half an hour ago two sixty seven for one
00:37:49the last one to go zahir khan going for the big hit morkel
00:37:55twenty meters he makes to his right and takes a good safe catch
00:38:01seven wickets for twenty seven
00:38:05oh the ball is turning there's enough there for the spinners uh to feel interested two ninety five for eight
00:38:19for you
00:38:23missed the off stump by
00:38:25a fraction
00:38:29and the coat of varnish
00:38:39so two overs to go
00:38:53and mind dressing doni he'll have to take as much strike as possible staying into his final over
00:38:59let's make no mistake 295 still is a very good score on the surface just a case of what india could have got
00:39:13being in the position they were the reason i said this is still a good score because
00:39:19there's enough evidence there of the ball turning
00:39:23the odd one stopping on the batsman
00:39:25uh this is uh when it started stan has taken uh three wickets first uh was gambir
00:39:33same over baton
00:39:37and then harper john
00:39:49and he says she's nearer knows his job he knows his job is to just try and get the only back on strike varying lengths from stain
00:39:51some of those
00:40:05are slower balls as well as pace variation that we're showing you here
00:40:09hundred and forty three is the green lines
00:40:13nearer crossed with himself then wasn't he that he didn't get it down to third man
00:40:15only found the man backward point
00:40:19where stain gonna go now full
00:40:21in the air straight to cover
00:40:23ms doni's still there at the non-striker's end
00:40:26wondering what's happening
00:40:37south africa can't believe it
00:40:41South Africa can't believe it it's not a slower ball either it's up there he
00:40:49middles it but straight into Smith's midriff and he doesn't make mistakes
00:40:57she's nearer stood there for ages I thought it might have been a no ball he
00:41:02took so long to leave the crease he's gone for naught though 296 for nine
00:41:09so Munaf Patel has come out to the middle last man for India
00:41:16he is the last man that's it five wickets up for Dale Stein and what a comeback this
00:41:23is by South Africa nine wickets have fallen for just 29 runs in nine overs and
00:41:32is this a comeback or what 267 for one at one stage India they've been pulled out
00:41:38inside 300 and inside their 50 overs
00:41:44well that was incredible India were absolutely cruising with Saywag and
00:41:48Tendulkar making the South Africans chase leather for the first 17 overs Tendulkar
00:41:53batted fantastically well and chalked up his 99th international hundred his 48th in
00:41:59one day internationals at 267 for one in the 40th over the Indians seem to be on
00:42:06course for over 350 and it's hard to work out how they were bowled out for just 296
00:42:12what MS Dhoni thought of the collapse is anyone's guess they didn't even bat out
00:42:18the overs the South African fight back was thanks mainly to an inspired spell of
00:42:22bowling from Dale Stein his first three overs went for 24 but he came back
00:42:27strongly to make short work of the Indian batsmen ending with 550 the last nine
00:42:33Indian wickets fell for just 29 runs in less than 10 overs simply amazing
00:42:39coming next we'll see how Graham Smith side got on chasing 297 to win
00:42:54many watching what will happen here as the battle begins
00:43:01that's a great shot
00:43:05oh goodness
00:43:08that has been absolutely smoked
00:43:13shot very good shot
00:43:18big shot
00:43:22great shot
00:43:26it's got a bit six
00:43:28taken on the full and it's found the gap
00:43:34there it is
00:43:36Sachin Tendulkar
00:43:3899
00:43:40international 100
00:43:44five wickets up for Dale Stein
00:43:49and what a comeback this is by South Africa
00:43:53well South Africa would have certainly been the happiest side at the interval after that incredible fight back with the ball
00:43:59here's how they got on with the bat
00:44:01two 97 runs to win 50 overs to go lights are on and here's Zaheer Khan
00:44:15good delivery
00:44:17that's where he's been
00:44:19big improvement Zaheer Khan is control over the new ball
00:44:27lovely shot
00:44:29well he's a class act
00:44:31and I could hear a few claps around the ground
00:44:43quick hands here very quick hands
00:44:45there's not much width on this
00:44:47not much at all but
00:44:49played it so late
00:44:51hit it right under his eyes
00:44:57this should be four
00:44:59not
00:45:01really from the meat of the bat
00:45:03but good enough
00:45:05that's a bit of width
00:45:09will that go all the way yes it does
00:45:11flies off the bat
00:45:13and flies past Munaf Patel
00:45:15at third man for a boundary
00:45:21not a very convincing shot
00:45:23nevertheless effective
00:45:25they say if you cut it you cut it hard
00:45:29Hashi Mamlaix did exactly that
00:45:39yeah with width on offer
00:45:41from Ashishnera
00:45:45he's getting to Sehwag in first slip
00:45:49he's got to get it closer to offstone
00:45:55there again that should be four
00:45:57it's a quick outfield
00:46:01good slide from Tendulkar does well
00:46:05and gets a huge ovation
00:46:07really the kind of commitment that you see
00:46:09from this man
00:46:13that's been a long time since I've seen him
00:46:15do the slide and did it really well
00:46:19that's amazing
00:46:23just have a look at that effort
00:46:25and
00:46:27you view
00:46:29oh
00:46:31will it go to the third umpire
00:46:33well I think this is going to be a boundary
00:46:35you can see while the
00:46:37maybe just touch and go
00:46:39may have just saved some runs here
00:46:41that's when he's in contact
00:46:43with the ball where the foot is touching
00:46:45but that's not a great view
00:46:47I might just tell you what happened there
00:46:51the difficult one for the third umpire
00:46:53yeah he's oh
00:46:55it's called boundary
00:46:57in the air safe
00:47:05races away to the boundary
00:47:07got plenty of bat on that uh
00:47:09good thing with that shot no half measures
00:47:11just pitched up and went through with the shot
00:47:21you can see he picked out his spot
00:47:23and he did exactly there over extra cover
00:47:27the margin of error on the surfaces is sometimes very very less for the bowler
00:47:35it's hard work bowling in the subcontinent
00:47:37and a lot of credit must be given to the Indian bowlers who run in day in day out
00:47:41walked away on the onside excellent timing this is typical
00:47:49consecutive boundaries had a nice way to end the over for the south africans 37 for no loss
00:47:59he's decided to go over the top he'll get four for this
00:48:11that's in the air straight to tenduka
00:48:15can you believe it
00:48:17smith can't believe it
00:48:21well zaheer khan will take it
00:48:23that was pitched up
00:48:25and it was smashed straight to tenduka
00:48:27straight down his throat
00:48:29and south africa lose that first wicket
00:48:33it's a poor shot from graham smith
00:48:37that's the wicket again
00:48:39the change of pace
00:48:43to them a simple catch to such and tenduka
00:48:45at mid off
00:48:47that's the 14th time he's removed in
00:48:51so smith goes for 16
00:48:53it's 41 for one
00:48:57chak kalis age 35
00:48:59one of the top players in world cricket
00:49:0311,000 runs for him in the shorter format
00:49:05and he'll have a job to do
00:49:07and he'll have a job to do
00:49:15keeps really low again change of pace
00:49:17it does this does squat on hashi mamla
00:49:21it does this does squat on hashi mamla
00:49:23not good signs
00:49:25all going through the keeper on the bounce
00:49:27there's at the physical
00:49:29stay at theULLies
00:49:31the recruiter on ha sto
00:49:33especially since we've got out by
00:49:34ishi mamla
00:49:35he stayed exceptionally low
00:49:37and when if patel is trying to sell
00:49:39a wonderful fielding
00:49:41doing
00:49:43doing
00:49:44doing
00:49:46Tina's good
00:49:47doing
00:49:48doing
00:49:49doing
00:49:50doing
00:49:50doing
00:49:52looking
00:49:53doing
00:49:54doing
00:49:55Very, very, very good fielding.
00:50:04Gone for the big shot and got it over cover.
00:50:10Four runs to Cullis and South Africa.
00:50:22It's good running.
00:50:26Cullis it was who had to just move into overdrive there slightly.
00:50:32Direct hit might have been interesting, might have stretched him a little bit.
00:50:41It was in the air, not far away from Virat Kohli.
00:50:47Brings up the 50 run partnership.
00:50:5150 and 72 balls, I want to lift that just a little bit and catch up the number of balls to them.
00:50:57It's a 49, Amla.
00:51:04That's a good half century.
00:51:06He knows he has a lot of work ahead of him, but he's paced this innings well.
00:51:1150 of 58.
00:51:13It's 98 for one.
00:51:14That's the sweep.
00:51:15Was in the air.
00:51:16Will pick up the gap.
00:51:17Yes, it will.
00:51:18Boundary for Cullis.
00:51:19A much needed boundary for South Africa.
00:51:20Yes and good shot.
00:51:21He's fetched him from outside the off stump.
00:51:22So he could get it square.
00:51:23And it's a boundary after 11 overs.
00:51:24So welcome one from the South African point of view.
00:51:2545 minutes since the last boundary was hit.
00:51:26Oh, that was a chance.
00:51:27That was a chance.
00:51:28That was a chance.
00:51:29That was a chance.
00:51:30That was a chance.
00:51:31That was a chance.
00:51:32That was a chance.
00:51:33Well, he's got a chance.
00:51:34And he's got a chance.
00:51:35He's got a chance.
00:51:36And he's got a chance.
00:51:37And he'll be disappointed because normally, for someone like Yuvraj Singh, this would have
00:52:04been straight to him.
00:52:06I think the pace surprised him.
00:52:13Kept the single in the end.
00:52:19He's been kept busy, Sachin Tendulkar.
00:52:23A different kind of a hat for the one-day cricket.
00:52:31Probably his lucky one.
00:52:35He's got it.
00:52:36Amla is walking extra bounce for Harbhajan Singh.
00:52:48And he's got a very, very important wicket.
00:52:53Amla was the man's set.
00:52:55Amla was the danger man.
00:52:57But Harbhajan has struck here for India.
00:53:00Smart delivery.
00:53:01Bounce.
00:53:02A little bit of turn.
00:53:03And Dhoni doing the rest.
00:53:04It's a big wicket for India at this stage.
00:53:08Needed a breakthrough.
00:53:10Bounced a lot.
00:53:14And a very good take by Mahindra Singh Dhoni.
00:53:17That will rest his nerves a bit.
00:53:23Amla gone for 61.
00:53:27That's 127 for two.
00:53:30A.B.
00:53:31De Villiers walks into the fall of the wicket.
00:53:34And at number four for South Africa has been in terrific form in this World Cup.
00:53:38200s already.
00:53:40And he will need a very good performance here tonight to see his team through.
00:53:44A very good one day record averaging 45.73.
00:53:48And what stands out is the strike rate.
00:53:511100s.
00:53:522550s.
00:53:57So leg slip in place for him.
00:53:591550 for Kalas.
00:54:101550 for Kalas.
00:54:19It's 129 for two.
00:54:24How close was that?
00:54:29Exposed his stumps.
00:54:31Jacques Callas looking to sweep onto the onside.
00:54:36In fact, it went past the off stump, I reckon.
00:54:41A long way across.
00:54:44Off the glove, and Dhoni going with the spin.
00:54:47That's well played. Very well played.
00:54:55Struck fiercely by Jacques Callas.
00:55:04It's another sweep.
00:55:08Would it go all the way? Yes, it does.
00:55:10That's placed very well by Jacques Callas.
00:55:1411 of the over, 144 for two.
00:55:17Big shot.
00:55:22He's got all of that, and some.
00:55:26Six runs.
00:55:28150 comes up for South Africa.
00:55:31153 for two, and that's what I mean when I speak about De Villiers.
00:55:38Beautiful shot.
00:55:39The bounce did help the ball to travel that distance.
00:55:42There you see, into the stands.
00:55:44He will be the key for South Africa.
00:55:49It's gone 77 meters.
00:55:51Well filled it.
00:55:58Fantastic filled it.
00:56:00And Virat Kohli.
00:56:02He's dynamic in the field.
00:56:06It struck fiercely this, and how about that?
00:56:09And the throw is right over the top.
00:56:18We saw him fielding a little bit earlier.
00:56:19He had a shot at the stump.
00:56:20Hashim Amla wasn't even in the frame.
00:56:22He missed on that occasion.
00:56:23But he is pump.
00:56:24He's dynamic.
00:56:25He's young.
00:56:26And he adds a lot to serve him to this Indian team.
00:56:30A little bit of spin.
00:56:31Slower through the air from Yuvraj Singh.
00:56:35He's also starting to pose a problem.
00:56:36I said big moments.
00:56:39I tell you what.
00:56:40It's right in the balance here.
00:56:42India looking to try and take the initiative.
00:56:45South Africa trying to do the same.
00:56:47What a shot.
00:56:53What a fantastic shot.
00:56:55Minimum of fuss from Aby de Villiers.
00:56:57One bounce and over the rope for four.
00:57:02The wide-to-cleaner ball.
00:57:04Aby de Villiers.
00:57:05Sweet truck over extra cover.
00:57:08And that's what the newer ball can do.
00:57:11Flyers off the bat.
00:57:12Particularly because spinners are bowling.
00:57:14And your batters are in.
00:57:15They do and can take advantage of it.
00:57:20Not too much blown off on that occasion.
00:57:22It's a wonderful shot.
00:57:27Big shout.
00:57:29Big shout.
00:57:30And Zahir Khan is saying to his skipper.
00:57:33Come on.
00:57:34Have a check.
00:57:34I want you to check it.
00:57:36There you go.
00:57:37He's finally gone upstairs.
00:57:42Is it swinging back?
00:57:43Is it hitting in line with off stump?
00:57:45Is it hitting it outside off stump?
00:57:48That's the question for me.
00:57:50This shows us.
00:57:52Impact.
00:57:54Well, it's hitting the stumps now.
00:57:57It's more than two and a half meters down the track.
00:58:01And it's hitting the off stump.
00:58:04But none of the ball is hitting middle.
00:58:07So, the decision is fair.
00:58:11And he can stick with his.
00:58:16There you go.
00:58:17That's a good bouncer.
00:58:22Very good bouncer.
00:58:24Kallis coming back for a sec.
00:58:27Got a hurry.
00:58:27Oh, I reckon he's in trouble.
00:58:30I reckon he's in trouble here.
00:58:32Shaq Kallis.
00:58:33That was a good throw.
00:58:37It went into the gloves and Dhoni had to move it from where he collected it to the stumps.
00:58:43That may well save Shaq Kallis.
00:58:46But he looks like he's struggling.
00:58:47the body language from the indian team suggests job callus may be short of his ground
00:58:55good throw in from have a john sing
00:58:58yes it's jack callus has got a lot of work to do wonderful throw good work
00:59:05there you go the bails are lifted job callus a foot or so short
00:59:12so everybody lose their third wicked 172
00:59:17it's out it's out there's the confirmation on the big screen i tell you what a couple of things
00:59:32a couple of things to take note of it's a big wicket land but fabulous work by harper john
00:59:39singh and also by mahenra singh donny cut has gone for 69 it's 173 for three
00:59:46jp duminie walks to the crease for south africa
00:59:52he joins abie de villiers he's got a good career average just under 42 and a good strike rate as
01:00:03well 12 50s and 200s
01:00:07got a job to do john paul duminie averages are one thing
01:00:14he's in the heat of a battle now
01:00:17so i hear khan running in
01:00:19john paul duminie now with a lot of work to do
01:00:23so batting power play unfortunately at the loss of jack callus's wicket a needless run out
01:00:43oh he's played that well very fine down to third man that's four
01:00:51not a good start for ashish nera
01:00:54it's not it's width jump all dunny plays the shot well
01:01:00this opens the blade on it guards across the wicketkeeper
01:01:02and he'll feel a lot easier especially early on in the over so a lot of work to do
01:01:18as the ball really late on this occasion under the eyes shy from you've had singh
01:01:24A.B. de Villiers trips over his bat, almost rugby style, goes in for a try.
01:01:32But it just has to show that they are taking all the little singles on offer.
01:01:38The bat gets just stuck in the dirt, or it could have been worse.
01:01:42A.B. de Villiers in for the try.
01:01:48Inside edge, and that's four more.
01:01:50We've got to feel for the bowler.
01:01:51If we call the 11th cut, or the Chinese cut, any sort of cut that goes for four will do now.
01:02:00If you're a South African, heartache for the bowler, Ashish Naira, again, never seems to have too much luck.
01:02:06The ball is flying away.
01:02:09In awkward places, it always seems to be Ashish Naira who's bowling.
01:02:12Maybe there was some inside edge, Dhoni, with the attempted runout.
01:02:26Maybe to Villiers is lightning quick between the wickets.
01:02:28Maybe to Villiers is lightning quick between the wickets.
01:02:31So is Mahindra Singh Dhoni, and you take him on at your peril.
01:02:35Wicket keepers are deadly accurate with a little scoop from behind the stumps.
01:02:40No real appeal, but of an inside edge.
01:02:43Direct hit from the keeper would have, no doubt, gone upstairs.
01:02:48Slow delivery.
01:02:52Harbajin Singh will be tested here.
01:02:54He's gone for the full-length drive.
01:02:56He's done well.
01:02:58Full-length it is, and he's holding it in.
01:03:01It seems like maybe to Villiers will get Ashish Naira to run for him.
01:03:14Maybe that knock that he had on the knees, that throw from Yubrat Singh, who just hurt him.
01:03:22The empires are in conversation.
01:03:24Maybe, you know, it's taking a bit of time here because the Indians may be thinking he was fine.
01:03:29He was sprinting, and suddenly he wants to go for a runner, but I'm sure it's hurting him.
01:03:34I mean, to be fair to AB De Villiers, he would always like to run for himself.
01:03:37He's so quick between the wickets.
01:03:39A very fit man.
01:03:45Gone.
01:03:46It's just gone over the head of point, and he'll get a boundary on the offside.
01:03:51Use the pace of the bowler.
01:03:54The second boundary for JP Dominic.
01:03:57This is a good shot.
01:03:58He's made room for himself.
01:04:00Beated over cover just over the fielder.
01:04:07He's gone for it.
01:04:09And he's found the gap too.
01:04:11So the second boundary in the over 200 comes up for South Africa.
01:04:16Bit of a gift from Winif Patel, but you've still got to put them away.
01:04:19AB De Villiers is up to the task.
01:04:21Crash that over mid-on to the head of session, Tendulkar.
01:04:28Yes, it's a full toss, but you still have to put it away, and he's done so admirably.
01:04:32Well, interesting shot.
01:04:39And he's got to get four runs for it.
01:04:42Can't set a feel for that kind of a shot.
01:04:43I'm not going to describe that shot.
01:04:47Maybe Robin might be able to do it.
01:04:52No.
01:04:52Just a reverse sweep off the back of the bat.
01:04:56It's perfectly easy to play.
01:04:59Keep your eye on the ball.
01:05:00Head down.
01:05:01Yeah, it's so difficult to get away with the normal shots.
01:05:11You can't maybe make sense to attempt something like that.
01:05:15So five runs from the first two balls.
01:05:20Sliced it over point, and that's going to be four.
01:05:23Using the batting power play really well here, the South Africans.
01:05:26Nine runs from the first three balls of this over.
01:05:31It's gone up in the air.
01:05:34Has he got the distance?
01:05:35Yes, it seems like it lands on the side screen.
01:05:40This is turning out to be a big over for South Africa.
01:05:4416 runs from it.
01:05:45One ball to go.
01:05:47One 46 tournament sixes.
01:05:51Beautifully struck, this isn't it?
01:05:53Straight as you like.
01:05:57And long enough by a distance.
01:06:00Slower ball.
01:06:02Stood still.
01:06:03Good balance.
01:06:13He's got it over the field.
01:06:15Brilliant shot.
01:06:16Really so difficult now to ball to a bit of less.
01:06:20In fact, the 50 comes up.
01:06:23Of just 38 balls, this is turning out to be a splendid innings from AB to Villiers.
01:06:28It's a 50 over AB to Villiers.
01:06:33This could be out.
01:06:34Virat Kohli takes a low catch in the deep.
01:06:36And this is a big wicket.
01:06:39Correction, a huge wicket.
01:06:49Is it ever?
01:06:50A wonderful field of Virat Kohli.
01:06:51And it took a bit of skill from him to end a very skillful innings from AB to Villiers.
01:07:00He's hit it pretty well.
01:07:02Yeah, just dipped on him towards the end there.
01:07:08He adjusted well.
01:07:10AB to Villiers loved it.
01:07:11Absolutely loved it.
01:07:13The Villiers gone for 52.
01:07:18223 now for four, South Africa.
01:07:24New batsman, Miss Fafi de Plissi, age 26.
01:07:29The calculated risk taken by Mahindra Singh Thorni working.
01:07:33He got rid of the dangerous AB to Villiers.
01:07:35Harbhajan Singh getting his 250th one-day international wicket.
01:07:39I'll tell you what, this match, just the way it started,
01:07:47you get the feeling it's also going to end in that same fashion.
01:07:50It's been exciting at the start.
01:07:53And you can almost bet your bottom dollar that's going to be an exciting end to this game.
01:08:03Good use of the feet and it's a very good shot.
01:08:06Well clear of that fielder at long off.
01:08:08And it might just be a six here or is it going to be a boundary?
01:08:14Good shot nevertheless from Duplessis.
01:08:21I never quite understand why the fielder can't help the umpire out here.
01:08:25We're now going to spend a little bit of time finding out whether this is six or four.
01:08:29And the fielder's watched it go over the rope.
01:08:31Well, I need to say that was a six, boss, and then we can get on with the game.
01:08:35There it is.
01:08:36Has he taken a man's off now?
01:08:47In fact, he has wide signal.
01:08:50Domeni is walking off.
01:08:52It's wide and stopped.
01:08:58Another blow this for the South Africans and it's come from nowhere.
01:09:02Indians will believe they're still very much in it.
01:09:05Every chance of winning it now.
01:09:06Double blow first to Villiers now.
01:09:10Domeni misses it.
01:09:11Domeni in the end, collects it, collects it behind the stumps and takes the bails off.
01:09:19It's a third time lucky for MS.
01:09:20Domeni.
01:09:21Domeni departs for 23.
01:09:23Another twist.
01:09:25238 for five.
01:09:26Mone van Wijk comes out to the middle.
01:09:31He's no mean batsman.
01:09:33He can really give this cricket ball a whack.
01:09:37Strongly built.
01:09:38He's got a job on his hands here.
01:09:3959 needed from 45.
01:09:45That's in the air.
01:09:47Gautam Gambir makes a mess of him.
01:09:50In the end, it goes to the boundary.
01:09:52And at one moment, it looked as if it was going straight down his throat.
01:09:59I don't think he's got a hand on it.
01:10:02Whether he slipped at the last minute, slipped past the ball, I'm not sure.
01:10:07This will tell us.
01:10:11Just hasn't touched it.
01:10:15I think he slipped just a little bit here, Ravi.
01:10:18There.
01:10:20His feet go away from him.
01:10:23And he slides past the ball.
01:10:32A loud shout.
01:10:33He was attempting the reverse sweep.
01:10:35The figure's gone up.
01:10:36He took his time, Ian Gould.
01:10:41Well, is there going to be a referral?
01:10:43Yes.
01:10:44They're reviewing.
01:10:45Now, is it sliding down leg?
01:10:53No, it's hit.
01:10:55On-field call.
01:10:56It's hit enough.
01:10:58Only just that Ian Gould's decision will stand.
01:11:04Out.
01:11:04That'll get the crowd going.
01:11:05So, another one goes down here for South Africa.
01:11:12So, the heat is on.
01:11:15It's 2.47 for six.
01:11:16Johan Botha comes out to the middle.
01:11:25Again, pretty useful.
01:11:26Lower down the order with the bat.
01:11:27And he comes in here with a lot of pressure on the South Africans.
01:11:3450 needed from 36.
01:11:36Good shot.
01:11:42That will reach the boundary.
01:11:45With an offer.
01:11:46Just waited on it.
01:11:48Coolly put it away.
01:11:49Two is the call.
01:11:57They get it easily.
01:12:00This is good running.
01:12:02Good, sensible cricket so far.
01:12:10He's got that through.
01:12:16And will get the boundary.
01:12:19It was Virat Kohli.
01:12:24Making a valiant effort there, but not good enough.
01:12:27So, South Africa get the boundary.
01:12:29They need it to be over.
01:12:31Fantastic effort from Kohli, this.
01:12:33He's run a good 50 meters to try and stop this.
01:12:37Gets a hand on it, but can't keep it in.
01:12:40Just like, look at that.
01:12:41Brilliant.
01:12:42And then it'll roll all the way tantalizingly.
01:12:45And unfortunately, the boundary is round.
01:12:47So, it has to hit something eventually.
01:12:53Asking right closer to nine and a half with that boundary.
01:12:56Magnificent strike, this.
01:13:02This has gone the distance.
01:13:04That's come right out of the screws.
01:13:07And this is turning out to be a huge over for South Africa.
01:13:1113 runs of the first four balls.
01:13:15First to boundary.
01:13:17Now, a clean strike for six.
01:13:22Right, as you say, out of the middle of the bat.
01:13:25It's gone way back.
01:13:26Suddenly, it's under eight and over required.
01:13:36That's in the air.
01:13:38Will it land safely?
01:13:40No, take it in the deep.
01:13:42Suresh Reiner doesn't miss many.
01:13:44It's just that to perfection.
01:13:48So, after a six and a boundary.
01:13:52Both are.
01:13:54Looking for another big hit.
01:13:56Has perished.
01:13:57Yeah, you see there again.
01:14:01The damage done.
01:14:02Got it back to eight and over.
01:14:05And then gets out.
01:14:06New man's now got to come in.
01:14:10It's gone too high with no distance.
01:14:13Good catching, though.
01:14:14Two men converging on it.
01:14:16It's never easy.
01:14:18It's Suresh Reiner.
01:14:20It's just been put back there, remember.
01:14:21Urta goes for an invaluable innings.
01:14:27Nevertheless, 23 from 15.
01:14:30279 for seven.
01:14:33So, Robin Peterson comes out to the middle.
01:14:37Batsman now crossing over.
01:14:40When that catch was being taken,
01:14:41so Duplessis on strike.
01:14:46Here goes Zaheer.
01:14:49Suresh Reiner.
01:14:50Chance of a run out.
01:14:51Oh, that's all not good enough.
01:15:03Rather, I've seen him slide the bat in
01:15:05rather than put it in.
01:15:12There it is.
01:15:13It's grounded.
01:15:14You can see the dust coming up
01:15:15from the end of the bat
01:15:18just before the bails came off.
01:15:19Inside edge, four runs.
01:15:28So, just the start South Africa wanted.
01:15:30Tremendous strike.
01:15:36It's all over.
01:15:39At least by the looks of it.
01:15:40It's a massive hit for six.
01:15:43It's a massive hit for six,
01:15:43which means South Africa just take three
01:15:45from four balls to win this contest.
01:15:48pin drop silence around the ground.
01:15:50Well, Ashish Nehra was asked to bowl the last over
01:15:56and the first two balls have gone for ten runs.
01:15:59Yeah, I feel for him.
01:16:00I really feel for him.
01:16:02That was just an ordinary delivery in terms of there was no pace taken off it.
01:16:07It was right in the slot and Peterson hit it out of the middle of the bat.
01:16:11But look at that reaction.
01:16:18Two is the call.
01:16:20They should get it.
01:16:26which means South Africa just need a run now to win this contest.
01:16:30It's gone upstairs.
01:16:31Wonderful throw from Tendulkar.
01:16:33But I think the dive has saved Peterson.
01:16:35Yeah, he's well in.
01:16:44Everything's flat.
01:16:44He's got one hand on top of the bat, so he can't bounce.
01:16:52So there you go.
01:16:53Just one run needed from three balls.
01:16:59So that's it.
01:17:00That's cream to the covers.
01:17:02South Africa win the contest.
01:17:05A terrific match.
01:17:06There's pin drop silence around the ground.
01:17:09And this is a terrific win for the South Africans.
01:17:13They've beaten India.
01:17:15And they're back on track.
01:17:19Well, that was a stunning performance from Graham Smith's men.
01:17:22Hashim Amla and Jacques Callis set up a solid platform for a successful run chase.
01:17:27But when Callis was run out for 69,
01:17:30there would have been a few nerves in the South African dressing room.
01:17:32However, A.B.
01:17:34de Villiers continued his good World Cup form with a quick-fire 52 from 39 balls.
01:17:38And then Francois Du Plessis held his nerve with a crucial 25 not out, which allowed Johan Bota and Robin Peterson to apply the finishing touches at pace.
01:17:49Don't think the Indian bowlers can take the blame for this defeat.
01:17:52But it did seem an odd decision going with Ashish Naira for the last over when Harbarjan had picked up three for 53 at his nine overs and still had one left.
01:18:02So overall, a sensational victory for the South Africans.
01:18:06And Graham Smith can still probably not believe they won this game.
01:18:10This was the reaction of the two captains and the man of the match at the presentation with Ravi Shastri.
01:18:17What was going through your mind in that last over?
01:18:20Well, you just needed the bowlers to bowl at the right spot, but not to forget, you know, they are under tremendous pressure.
01:18:25I think they did really well to mount the amount of runs that were there in the last few overs.
01:18:31But, you know, if the batsmen, they play well and if you're not bowling at the right spot, more often than not, you get hit.
01:18:37For 15 overs up front, we took an absolute beating.
01:18:40But for 75, we played some incredible cricket.
01:18:42I think, you know, chasing 300 on that deck, second innings was a hell of a effort from the guys.
01:18:46And I think we're all pretty speechless at the moment.
01:18:49Nine wickets and nine overs.
01:18:51Dale Sten taking five wickets and 3.4 overs.
01:18:54Outstanding effort.
01:18:56Yeah, I mean, I look, I think Session and Viru up front just put us under massive pressure.
01:19:00And we didn't respond too well for the first 10 overs.
01:19:03But the guys really showed a lot of composure.
01:19:05It was a hell of a noisy out here today and the crowd really backed India.
01:19:08And, you know, we just needed to focus ourselves and just keep hanging in there.
01:19:11And when we got our chance, we took it with some great bowling by Dale and a couple of the other guys chipped in.
01:19:16And then, you know, to get over the line chasing, I think for us, it's just a massive, massive thing.
01:19:21Now, when you can show character like this, that loss against England is a long time ago.
01:19:27Yeah, look, I think this, in winning and losing in the last two games, there's been some massive lessons for a lot of our guys,
01:19:33especially in the middle order chasing.
01:19:34You know, it was fantastic to see the guys, you know, Fuff, guys like Fuff and Robbie and Boats, you know, really perform so well today.
01:19:40You know, it's massive for our team.
01:19:41And, you know, the confidence that you get out of a win like this is huge.
01:19:44So hopefully we can build on this now.
01:19:46After my first five overs, I was staring down the barrel, wasn't I?
01:19:48But I think we all pulled it back beautifully.
01:19:50It was a great, fantastic display by the batters to reach their total.
01:19:54So overall, a great team performance.
01:19:56You like bowling on this ground, don't you?
01:19:58Ten wickets in a test match, five wickets in a one-day game now.
01:20:01Yeah, before I arrived here, I actually said on a radio interview yesterday that I enjoyed this ground.
01:20:06And after five overs, I was regretting that a little bit.
01:20:08But it seemed to have worked out nicely in the end.
01:20:10Amen.
