Ends the innings on a high and Annerie Dercksen has made India pay for that drop. Back of a length ball just outside off, she scythes it over extra cover to make it three fours in three balls.

8.52pm South Africa collect 31 runs off the final two overs and what was looking like a score in the mid 160s ends up being 177 for 6. India will still be pleased with their effort after the flier South Africa got. Tazmin Brits got a reprieve early and made the Indians pay as South Africa raced to 66 for 1 after six overs. But, Deepti Sharma and the spinners got India back in the game. Brits scored back to back fifties while Anneke Bosch's 40 off 32 and Annerie Dercksen's three-ball 12 too South Africa to a fighting total. Can India chase this down and save the series? Join Shashank in a bit to find out.
Anneke Bosch: It was good, it was a bit difficult, more difficult for me. It was a bit slower than I thought the wicket to be. I wanted to get a partnership in. We are pleased. Still have a job to do with the ball. But pleased with the score we got on the board today. We had a flier at the start and we were looking to get to a similar score to the other night. It was a little bit difficult to score later on with the pitch getting slower and the ball getting softer.

Vastrakar to de Klerk, OUT
And she strikes right away. Back of a length ball well outside off, De Klerk looks to pull it straight down the ground, gets it off the toe end up of the blade and balloons straight up for Sajana to take a simple catch

Knocks her over! Patil keeps it on a length and the trajectory flatter on leg stump. Bosch gets across looking for a sweep, misses and the leg pole has been uprooted.
