SA 56-1 (11 Ovs) vs Ind 358-5 | SCORECARD

Prasidh Krishna into the attack. Bavuma drives to point for none, but the next one is timed beautifully past the bowler for four. He jumps on the short ball but can only defend it. A flick to deep backward square brings him a single. Markram plays to mid-off for no run -- and then launches a huge six to close the over!

11 off it. South Africa 49/1 after 9 overs.

Another bowling change -- Washington Sundar enters. Bavuma defends, then pushes the next one straight back to Sundar. A single follows to long-on. Another defensive stroke to point. Tight over.

Just 2 runs. SA 51/1 after 10 overs.

Jadeja into the attack now. Bavuma and Markram rotate the strike nicely, working him for five singles without much risk.

After 11 overs, South Africa 56/1.
