Shivam Dube continues the attack. Dewald Brevis goes big straightaway, launching a towering six. Washington Sundar was stationed near the ropes and for a moment Brevis had his heart in his mouth but the ball just cleared the boundary.
Dube gets his revenge soon after. Brevis goes aerial again and this time Abhishek Sharma makes no mistake at deep midwicket, completing a comfortable catch. Brevis departs for 45 off 29 balls, giving India a much-needed breakthrough.
Tristan Stubbs walked in to join David Miller at the crease.
Shivam Dube, however, overstepped again and the umpire signalled a no-ball. Miller made full use of the free hit, launching the ball for a towering six.
The South African left-hander kept the pressure on India, punching the next delivery straight down the ground to long-off and bringing up a blazing half-century off just 27 balls.
Stubbs got off the mark with a single as South Africa continued to build momentum.
17 runs and a wicket came from the over, leaving South Africa at 128/4 after 13 overs.
