:00:11. > :00:25.The trophy is shared between India and Sri Lanka. 2013. India! Hello
:00:26. > :00:28.and welcome to London and the Oval, where we have a blockbuster of a
:00:29. > :00:34.game as the reigning champions, India, play the world number one
:00:35. > :00:37.team, South Africa. For both sides, this is basically a quarterfinal as
:00:38. > :00:43.only the winners of the match will go through to the semifinals. The
:00:44. > :00:45.conundrum is due to Pakistan and Sri Lanka who have brought the
:00:46. > :00:53.tournament into life in recent days by beating South Africa and India in
:00:54. > :00:57.recent days. It's a winner takes all scenario. The final game of the
:00:58. > :01:01.group is between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Cardiff tomorrow with the
:01:02. > :01:05.winners of that one likely to face England. Yesterday, the World Cup
:01:06. > :01:10.winners were sent packing as England got one over their oldest and
:01:11. > :01:13.fiercest rivals, Australia, and they top the group with Bangladesh the
:01:14. > :01:24.surprise runners-up. One change each in this game with Phehlukwayo coming
:01:25. > :01:28.in. Ravi Ashwin is coming in for his first appearance, coming in for your
:01:29. > :01:37.dad, and there was a huge roar and sheer when Ashwin's name was read
:01:38. > :01:40.out. Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bowl, Quinta do the
:01:41. > :01:46.chasing after being stunned by the record Sri Lanka chase. The weather
:01:47. > :01:49.has disrupted games in Birmingham, but it is glorious in south London.
:01:50. > :02:08.Let's join the action. It will only be one. The first over
:02:09. > :02:14.is completed. 3-0. That will be runs. Is it off the bat, or leg
:02:15. > :02:29.byes? It is off the bat. I imagine some of these headlines
:02:30. > :02:34.might have been loved today, the Aussies sent packing.
:02:35. > :02:43.Confusion again, Jadeja at backward point. Not many better in the world
:02:44. > :02:46.than him. He gets across the ground quickly, and as good a throwing arm
:02:47. > :03:00.as you will see in the modern game. Nice finding of the gap from Hashim
:03:01. > :03:06.Amla. Beautiful shot from Amla. A little bit short but a bit of wit.
:03:07. > :03:14.He was on the back foot, standing tall, on top of the bounce. He hits
:03:15. > :03:19.it late. He hits it square. Over to the boundary for four runs. He has
:03:20. > :03:22.looked good so far, Hashim Amla. Very experienced player at the top
:03:23. > :03:35.of the order. They need a big score from him today. We saw a nice
:03:36. > :03:40.close-up of the delivery before he ran in. Looking to nip it back, and
:03:41. > :03:47.that is exactly what it did. Attacking Hashim Amla. Perfect
:03:48. > :03:51.length. Maybe just a few inches too short, but it has gone over the top
:03:52. > :04:01.of the stumps, and it might have clattered into the bails. The guys
:04:02. > :04:05.in the dressing room need to think we are not doing too badly, but it's
:04:06. > :04:09.not as easy as you think, and it maybe gives them a different
:04:10. > :04:12.perspective. In the dressing room, you will be thinking, its
:04:13. > :04:19.boundaries, but as a bowler captain... They should not be too
:04:20. > :04:31.many and is in the pants in the South African dressing room. Just
:04:32. > :04:36.let it go. -- ants in the pants. Could that be a boundary? A very
:04:37. > :04:47.important moment for South Africa. Just relieves a bit of pressure.
:04:48. > :04:54.How important is that? Just trying to break the shackles. You can see
:04:55. > :04:59.the short boundaries, Ashwin is bowling. He will be at this end,
:05:00. > :05:09.right through the ten overs. It's not a very big boundary. Always
:05:10. > :05:18.risky when you take on Virat Kohli. He felt like he had the man, and if
:05:19. > :05:22.he had hit... Wasn't to be. Not the best way to get to your 50. Must've
:05:23. > :05:30.been out by miles. Just takes the pressure off the scoreboard. Virat
:05:31. > :05:39.Kohli just misses. Very quick, flicks it, but misses the stumps.
:05:40. > :05:44.Just have a look at him. Oh, another half chance. Caught and bowled goes
:05:45. > :05:52.down, so it is all happening. Two runs from the over. 50 without loss.
:05:53. > :05:55.Pressure on both sides. Run out on the previous delivery, and then a
:05:56. > :06:00.straight forward caught and bowled. Heating it on the up, and it should
:06:01. > :06:07.have been taken at this level. Not a very difficult catch. Big match, big
:06:08. > :06:18.situation, pressure on everyone. The move has begun. Amla, making that
:06:19. > :06:25.big movement on the off-side. And your was caught by surprise --
:06:26. > :06:29.handier. You were wondering when it was going to come, and he walks into
:06:30. > :06:35.the channel and he picks it up leg side onto the shore boundary. An
:06:36. > :06:42.obvious line from Pandya, into the ring, and you cannot afford to give
:06:43. > :06:47.the width, and Amla worked it out. South Africa need more of that.
:06:48. > :06:50.Starting to happen. The second time he has made the move before the ball
:06:51. > :06:56.has been delivered, and he has ten runs. Those two shots he has played,
:06:57. > :07:03.that is what we are talking about, a bit more adventure from South
:07:04. > :07:07.Africa. India lacked pace, and Kumar has bowled beautifully, but there
:07:08. > :07:11.was not much swing and he hit back of a lens. I want to see people use
:07:12. > :07:17.their feet and change the channel, and we see it now from Amla. People
:07:18. > :07:21.will remember that until now the Champions Trophy has been a
:07:22. > :07:29.tournament full of surprises. The weather has been an issue, but today
:07:30. > :07:40.the sun is out, and in the last week we have had some very surprising
:07:41. > :07:47.results, unexpected results. That is going to be four runs. Well played
:07:48. > :07:57.by Hashim Amla. Mid-off his inside the circle. -- es inside. That is
:07:58. > :08:05.the noise, and that is the wicket. And what a wicket that is. Am I
:08:06. > :08:11.trying to cut -- Amla. And the Sea of blue has erupted. Ashwin has
:08:12. > :08:16.changed his pace through the years, and he was looking to play square of
:08:17. > :08:17.the wicket. It skims off the surface, and an outstanding catch
:08:18. > :08:26.from MS Dhoni. There was some deflection there.
:08:27. > :08:43.Amla has gone for 35. 76-1. Well played. A short boundary, and a
:08:44. > :08:49.good space to pick up another four runs. That is the attacking option
:08:50. > :08:53.for De Kock against Ashwin. No one on the leg side boundary, and Ashwin
:08:54. > :09:13.allowed him to play through there. Just a dab. That would have been a
:09:14. > :09:20.better option, but they will complete the second. Direct would
:09:21. > :09:23.have been close there. Very fast between the wickets and another
:09:24. > :09:27.example of the intensity that has been brought into the South African
:09:28. > :09:33.game. I feel that a direct hit would have been out. It is a big game, a
:09:34. > :09:40.knockout game for both. Have a look at the crowd. It is blue everywhere.
:09:41. > :09:45.Through the on-side, punched it. We'll come back for a couple. That
:09:46. > :09:49.is a short boundary outside Virat Kohli. He gives 100% on the field
:09:50. > :10:02.all the time, Virat Kohli. Great ambassador.
:10:03. > :10:13.That is 54 Quinton de Kock. His 14th in international cricket, to add to
:10:14. > :10:19.the 12 centuries. A slightly slower pace, but he's still there. And the
:10:20. > :10:21.worry for India at this moment, every time he gets 50, he gets 100
:10:22. > :10:35.against India. Talking about the first spell from
:10:36. > :10:42.India, very good. 50 not out in 68 deliveries. Oh, yes. Not this. Slog
:10:43. > :10:48.sweep, missing the line completely. -- not this time. Quinton de Kock is
:10:49. > :10:56.dismissed, and India picking up the second wicket at a very important
:10:57. > :11:01.time. Excellent line from Jadeja. With the field he has set, the
:11:02. > :11:06.sweeper has to be deep, so he cannot give the width bowling at the
:11:07. > :11:11.stumps. It is a good comeback for him so far from the Sri Lanka match.
:11:12. > :11:16.This time Quinton de Kock has been dismissed for 50 against India.
:11:17. > :11:37.116-2. The captain is in. Short side of the ground, but timed
:11:38. > :11:41.well enough by de Villiers. Is this a portent of things to come today?
:11:42. > :11:50.He does not look out of form and though. A juicy half volley,
:11:51. > :11:55.hitching it up, Pandya. It races away to the boundary. Looking for
:11:56. > :12:01.the wicket. Looking for the swing, early on.
:12:02. > :12:06.On the back foot once again. We'll have to run and see if de Villiers
:12:07. > :12:23.makes it or not. -- he will have to The Indians do not look very
:12:24. > :12:29.confident, except for Virat Kohli. Neither does AB de Villiers. That is
:12:30. > :12:35.going to be very, very... And he has gone. Very good work by MS Dhoni.
:12:36. > :12:45.Look how quickly he gets the gloves onto the stumps. And a big, big
:12:46. > :12:52.wicket for India. Needed to be using the ball speed to get home, and he
:12:53. > :13:01.wasn't. He goes for 16. 140-3. David Miller. Replacing AB de Villiers.
:13:02. > :13:12.An outside edge, and it is another runout coming here. That's another
:13:13. > :13:18.one! Chaos in the middle of the over here -- Oval here. The South African
:13:19. > :13:22.batsman stranded at the same end. All sorts of confusion as to who
:13:23. > :13:28.will be given out. One of them will be on their way.
:13:29. > :13:34.The noise of this crowd, and communication is the key, being able
:13:35. > :13:43.to watch each other. South Africa, getting themselves back in the game.
:13:44. > :13:49.There were two massive moments. It is the batsmen on the far side. Look
:13:50. > :13:56.at that. They have not crossed. He made his ground before Miller, so it
:13:57. > :14:08.will be Miller on his way. And that is confirmation that David Miller is
:14:09. > :14:15.on his way, run out. South Africa now 142- far. -- - four. De Villiers
:14:16. > :14:21.was looking good today, but run out, a mix-up between him and Miller.
:14:22. > :14:31.Those are two massive wickets for India.
:14:32. > :14:41.What is going on out in the middle of the Oval? Another very, very
:14:42. > :14:44.tight thing, and Kohli was in very quickly. The throw was wide. Lucky
:14:45. > :14:58.for South Africa once again. LOUD APPEALS
:14:59. > :15:02.It has been giving out. Duminy wants to look at the review straightaway.
:15:03. > :15:05.I think there was an inside edge. Duminy straightaway going upstairs.
:15:06. > :15:21.He looks confident. OK, have you got a square on shot,
:15:22. > :15:31.please? We will have a look at Hot Spot. Just roll that back. It does
:15:32. > :15:42.look like there is a little mark on the glove. OK. I am happy with that.
:15:43. > :15:47.I will go back to the field. I have a little Hot Spot, and also there is
:15:48. > :15:52.a spike on track edge, against the glove. I will ask you to reverse
:15:53. > :15:58.your decision. I will tell you when you're on screen. Your on-screen.
:15:59. > :16:04.There it is, confirmation. The decision is overturned.
:16:05. > :16:15.He has bowled him. Du Plessis looking to force through the on side
:16:16. > :16:21.but a thick inside edge onto his middle stump. A big breakthrough
:16:22. > :16:26.again. A really tough five overs for du Plessis. In valve in two runouts
:16:27. > :16:35.and now he is out himself. -- involved in two. Is -- South Africa
:16:36. > :16:41.are all over the place. He jobs it on. South Africa under a big
:16:42. > :16:50.pressure. We have seen the end of du Plessis 436. 157-5.
:16:51. > :16:58.That is touched by gone to the stumps. They are going upstairs
:16:59. > :17:06.again for another run out. It cannot be. I cannot take any more. Morris
:17:07. > :17:12.looks pretty comfortable. You can sit back down again. Stanning around
:17:13. > :17:16.to the South African changing rooms, wanting to have a chat with the guys
:17:17. > :17:21.in there. Firmly through the of Jadeja. He has made his ground. It
:17:22. > :17:27.was a good bit of work by the bowler. That is good. The bat is on
:17:28. > :17:41.the ground. My decision is not out. That was tucked into fine leg. Just
:17:42. > :17:46.one. That puts pressure on the bowlers. They know they cannot land
:17:47. > :17:50.the ball there and thereabouts and build up pressure. We have not seen
:17:51. > :17:57.that much today from the South African batting line up. That is
:17:58. > :18:02.another wicket. It has gone straight up. It should be taken. Taken
:18:03. > :18:05.comfortably. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a safe capture. It is all turning pear
:18:06. > :18:23.shaped for South Africa at the Oval. You get one of your best bowlers
:18:24. > :18:27.back. We have talked about trends, with South Africa looking to push
:18:28. > :18:32.hard. The runouts have been a factor but they are losing wickets in the
:18:33. > :18:37.middle. India have been good. The tone was set in the power play by
:18:38. > :18:48.their bowlers. It is being followed through. Morris goes for four.
:18:49. > :18:55.167-6. To close. The length was too full. Again, there was room. That is
:18:56. > :19:00.why he went for it. A welcome four runs. Just 12 overs. South Africa
:19:01. > :19:09.have managed to find the boundary rope. They have not been at their
:19:10. > :19:14.best. Did that hit the stumps? That is the question Paul Reiffel is
:19:15. > :19:18.asking himself. The answer is no. MS Dhoni is in the background. He has
:19:19. > :19:27.to look back towards him for the final sanction. Dhoni is not too
:19:28. > :19:38.excited. He has gone for it. Just Snicko overs to go after this. Maybe
:19:39. > :19:44.a practical review as well. I am not kidding the umpire. Is he on air?
:19:45. > :20:00.The bat does not appear to be involved. Can we check, please?
:20:01. > :20:08.There is no Hot Spot. Keep rolling it through. There is no bat gone
:20:09. > :20:14.mad. If we could go to ball tracking, please. The impact in
:20:15. > :20:22.line, hitting the stumps. CHEERING
:20:23. > :20:34.Reverse your decision. You are on-screen. Not the first eruption we
:20:35. > :20:38.have seen from the Indian fans. They cite on the giant screen, every
:20:39. > :20:43.moment the noise was getting louder. Another wicket has fallen. It is
:20:44. > :20:54.Bhuvneshwar Kumar. That is the combination that is working for
:20:55. > :21:01.India. 178-7. It has carried to Dhoni. That is another wicket.
:21:02. > :21:08.Bhuvneshwar Kumar gets his first. Once again, it is time for the
:21:09. > :21:15.Indian fans to rise and applaud. An impressive bowling effort from the
:21:16. > :21:18.Indians. Everything that Virat Kohli has done, changing his bowlers
:21:19. > :21:30.around, it has worked on almost every occasion. Whenever he requires
:21:31. > :21:36.a wicket, he changes Bumrah, or Jadeja, or Kumar. It has worked.
:21:37. > :21:45.Rabada goes. Yet another left-hander. Ashwin will fancy his
:21:46. > :21:51.chances if Bhuvneshwar Kumar does not get a wicket before that from
:21:52. > :21:58.the other end. India are on a roll. South Africa have lost six wickets
:21:59. > :22:04.with 25 balls. Kamara is looking to hit the deck a lot because there is
:22:05. > :22:10.no swing. That is movement of the pitch to get the outside edge.
:22:11. > :22:15.Another wicket has fallen. Outside edge and a comfortable catch for the
:22:16. > :22:23.Indian caption -- for the Indian captain. Bhuvneshwar Kumar gets his
:22:24. > :22:28.second. He is on a hat-trick. Again, the skipper and the ball, getting
:22:29. > :22:38.the slip and, as you would do for a lower order batsmen. Just the angle.
:22:39. > :22:45.Safely held. Morkel goes without scoring. 184-9. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is
:22:46. > :22:50.on a hat-trick. It has been a fantastic offer, to outside edges,
:22:51. > :22:54.two catches taken. The possibility of picking up a hat-trick against
:22:55. > :23:05.the number 11 for South Africa, Imran Tahir. Phil and straight.
:23:06. > :23:10.Tahir goes hard at it. The thick edge to third man. Showing no
:23:11. > :23:20.caution. He has decided to have a go. He is now thinking about the
:23:21. > :23:26.second. This could be run out. The Masefield. It allows him to get
:23:27. > :23:33.back. Or does it? Chaos in the middle. Duminy smashed it away to
:23:34. > :23:38.leg side. He wanted to be back for the second. Imran Tahir turned him
:23:39. > :23:44.down, but because of the misfield by Virat Kohli, he decided to get on
:23:45. > :23:49.his way. It looks like he is struggling. Yes, indeed, a third run
:23:50. > :23:56.out in the innings for South Africa. Their innings comes to a premature
:23:57. > :24:01.close after 44.2 overs. With 190 on the board. A brilliant effort by
:24:02. > :24:05.India. The crowd are on their feet. They have appreciated the last hour
:24:06. > :24:11.and a half. It is unreal from South Africa. I have never seen a top
:24:12. > :24:19.international side go about their job as they did in the 40 overs. You
:24:20. > :24:22.talk about being under pressure. I do not know what it is, but they
:24:23. > :24:30.never looked like a top-class international side. India need 192
:24:31. > :24:39.for the victory in 50 overs. Great work from the Indian bowling, the
:24:40. > :24:43.fielding. Virat Kohli will be happy. The last 98 balls for South Africa,
:24:44. > :24:48.the last eight wickets. They ended up with a total of 191. South
:24:49. > :24:53.Africa's reputation for failing in big knockout game is one they have
:24:54. > :24:58.never liked, but they have done very little to dispel that tag with this
:24:59. > :25:01.display. An abject batting performance that started promisingly
:25:02. > :25:07.before a series of farcical runouts left them in big trouble. Quinton de
:25:08. > :25:11.Kock was the top scorer with 53. An impressive performance in the field
:25:12. > :25:16.for India, the bowlers hitting the red areas and the fielders showing
:25:17. > :25:20.energy and commitment. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah were the
:25:21. > :25:24.pick of the bowlers with two wickets apiece. With the firepower at their
:25:25. > :25:33.disposal, the total should be a breeze for India two overall. But
:25:34. > :25:38.stranger things have happened. Rohit Sharma Ansari Magnusson are opening
:25:39. > :25:46.the batting for India. The target is just 192. A good line to start with
:25:47. > :25:52.four Rabada. A maiden over. It could be tight. He would have been gone.
:25:53. > :26:00.He would have been gone. David Miller, the fielder. The first
:26:01. > :26:03.opportunity for South Africa. It was missed. Again, another run out
:26:04. > :26:09.opportunity today. We have seen plenty of them. Maybe the bug was
:26:10. > :26:20.transferred at lunch to the Indian team. Well fielded. They will have
:26:21. > :26:25.to do that quite often. There is that strong culture with every day
:26:26. > :26:30.now, but more so South Africa, or over the years, of excellent
:26:31. > :26:36.fielders. It started from the era of Jonty Rhodes. It has become a
:26:37. > :26:47.standard that South Africa are very proud of. That is just a touch, it
:26:48. > :26:55.is just a push from Rohit Sharma. We talk about the languid nature of his
:26:56. > :27:00.play. What a touch. The bat just comes down like a barn door onto the
:27:01. > :27:06.ball. He punches pass the ball. Good balance from Rohit Sharma. It is a
:27:07. > :27:07.quick outfield at the Oval. It just rolls along to the advertising
:27:08. > :27:24.boards. Into the boundary rope. Dispatched. He plays the short ball
:27:25. > :27:26.very well. It has gone for six, even though he was dismissed in the last
:27:27. > :27:42.match with it. 12-0. It is a short boundary there as
:27:43. > :27:49.well, but with no one out in that area. Freedom to play.
:27:50. > :27:56.Lovely wrist work. The second six of the innings. What a shot from
:27:57. > :28:10.Dhawan. Great timing, almost on the top of
:28:11. > :28:17.the bounce. Through the ball. It sailed into the crowd. Morkel,
:28:18. > :28:25.straight to Dhawan. He has been in wonderful form in this tournament.
:28:26. > :28:35.It shows they are. -- it shows. He did not read it. He overran it.
:28:36. > :29:01.Andile Phehlukwayo. Well, Andile Phehlukwayo. He has got
:29:02. > :29:06.him. What was that, what was the intent from Sharma, out of the blue?
:29:07. > :29:12.Morkel strikes, and de Kock holds on. Morkel has been a shining light
:29:13. > :29:21.for South Africa in this tournament. Sharma giving himself room, and
:29:22. > :29:28.Morkel following him. The bounce, and the edge. It was a good catch
:29:29. > :29:34.from de Kock. It is very unusual from Rohit Sharma, based on the way
:29:35. > :29:43.the tournament has gone. He has gone for 12. 23-1. It is a great
:29:44. > :29:49.delivery. The batsman was genuinely beaten. 24-1.
:29:50. > :29:58.Well done. That is what he really feeds off, Virat Kohli, running
:29:59. > :30:06.between the wicket. That is why he needs a partner who understands his
:30:07. > :30:09.instincts. That is pushed hard on the ground. This will be de
:30:10. > :30:17.Villiers. Just as I was saying he was wide. Shikhar Dhawan makes a
:30:18. > :30:26.great strike down the ground and punches into the ball.
:30:27. > :30:34.Even AB de Villiers could not get to it. He reacted quickly when the ball
:30:35. > :30:40.was punched. Lettuce see whether the field change has made any difference
:30:41. > :30:52.-- let us. Morne Morkel is asking where he should have made it. He has
:30:53. > :30:58.got that through. The speed of the pitch will help. Those pitches will
:30:59. > :31:03.help. It's raced across the outfield. A good attempt from David
:31:04. > :31:09.Miller, chasing all the way to the fence. Scooped it back, but it has
:31:10. > :31:18.trickled across the line. Ambitious from dar one. -- Dow one. Just
:31:19. > :31:30.avoided him to his right, through the gap, across the wickets. Dhawan
:31:31. > :31:41.is now on 20. Again, they will get a couple of runs here. And Virat Kohli
:31:42. > :31:45.will come back for a third, but it could have been slightly dangerous.
:31:46. > :31:49.Dhawan hesitant with the third run, and that is why he wants to have a
:31:50. > :31:58.chat. David Miller is the man that point. -- at point. Made good ground
:31:59. > :32:02.to his right, a bit of a dive. Just missed it. He is normally a good
:32:03. > :32:16.fielder in that part of the ground. Oh, Morne Morkel, eventually when he
:32:17. > :32:22.got close to the ball it was maybe a metre away from him. The 50 has come
:32:23. > :32:27.up for India. A good effort, in the end. Morne Morkel at fine leg,
:32:28. > :32:42.making ground quite quickly in off the road. Carried a long way. Well
:32:43. > :32:49.done. It's gone for six. That is unexpected. Straight, but there were
:32:50. > :32:53.no fielders. Over the rope and it shows the class of Virat Kohli. It
:32:54. > :32:58.shouldn't be unexpected, because he has been tied down, and this is
:32:59. > :33:01.while we did not see the South African do this. We did not see them
:33:02. > :33:08.shimmy down the wicket and tried to put pressure back on the Indian
:33:09. > :33:17.bowlers. A couple of steps down, and that is class batting from Kohli.
:33:18. > :33:21.Beautiful. Very, very good. Not much pace, not much bounce, just hits it
:33:22. > :33:26.down the ground. That is when Virat Kohli blaze at his best. Searching
:33:27. > :33:38.for some movement -- plays at his best. On the angle, just sliding
:33:39. > :33:47.down the leg side. Good balance. He has to get further outside the
:33:48. > :33:54.off-stump. Oh, was that a half chance and did it carry? It looks
:33:55. > :33:59.like a valiant effort. That would have been ideal for South Africa. It
:34:00. > :34:05.beats the inside edge. It is that same area, just outside the
:34:06. > :34:10.off-stump. Just a bit too deep, Hashim Amla. A difficult catch.
:34:11. > :34:20.Always difficult in the slips when it is so low. Nicely clipped. This
:34:21. > :34:25.field. A dropped catch, and a mis-field, and that will allow Virat
:34:26. > :34:26.Kohli to get back for three runs. That could have brought about a
:34:27. > :34:59.breakthrough, but far from it. It's not going to be easy. That is a
:35:00. > :35:09.boundary. It also brings up the 75. He knew exactly where the fielder
:35:10. > :35:16.was. Even Quinton de Kock... Short, this time. He has bolded. Over the
:35:17. > :35:19.square leg boundary. You cannot keep bolding with five fielders on the
:35:20. > :35:25.off-side to a left-hander. Easy pickings with the turn, and Dhawan
:35:26. > :35:32.is a good player of spin. That is a drag down from the last over. This
:35:33. > :35:35.time it is back foot. He knows exactly where the fielders are on
:35:36. > :35:42.that boundary. He does not want to get in front of the square, he just
:35:43. > :35:48.wants to help it on its way. Through the leg side. That is too straight
:35:49. > :35:51.from Morne Morkel. The timing is magnificent. That has raced away
:35:52. > :35:59.over square to the mid-wicket boundary.
:36:00. > :36:24.There is the gap again. Virat Kohli. He is getting into his groove now.
:36:25. > :36:31.It is looking wider and wider, his bat, out there. At the last minute
:36:32. > :36:35.he pushes his hands at the ball and create all the power. Finds the gap
:36:36. > :36:48.at extra cover and it races away to that one boundary.
:36:49. > :37:05.Just as solid punch, and fast hands into the ball. That is 50! The 19th
:37:06. > :37:08.50 of his one-day career, and is third in this tournament. -- he's
:37:09. > :37:19.third. With that boundary, Dhawan becomes
:37:20. > :37:24.the leading scorer in the tournament, 53 coming of just 61
:37:25. > :37:33.balls. Pops it over mid-on. Just a couple of bouncers. All too easy for
:37:34. > :37:37.Dhawan. It's the format and the opposition as well, top of the list,
:37:38. > :37:44.and we saw this in the morning, Kane Williamson was on top, and now he
:37:45. > :37:55.has jumped up to the top of the tree.
:37:56. > :38:02.That is a shot you do not see everyone -- very often, from Dhawan.
:38:03. > :38:05.Short on the leg side, but he gets ball runs and it also brings up the
:38:06. > :38:27.100 run partnership. That is going to be four runs, off
:38:28. > :38:37.the glove. Another boundary for Dhawan. The required rate keeps
:38:38. > :38:44.coming down. I felt South Africa missed a trick by not bringing to
:38:45. > :38:57.hear into bowl. There was a chance to bring Latin. -- Tahir to bowl.
:38:58. > :39:00.There was a period where in this South African performance it went
:39:01. > :39:08.into disarray, run out after run out. That is where India took
:39:09. > :39:13.control of the game. That is 50 four Virat Kohli.
:39:14. > :39:31.His second in the tournament after the 80 runs against Pakistan.
:39:32. > :39:44.Consistency of performance and intensity in the play.
:39:45. > :40:04.Another slog on the leg side. The juggernaut rolls on and on.
:40:05. > :40:14.Everyone is looking forward to the super Sunday, and it hasn't lived up
:40:15. > :40:20.to it, particularly because India have been so dominant. South Africa
:40:21. > :40:28.have not shown up today. Brilliant to watch. On the up. It's
:40:29. > :40:35.interesting watching this from Virat Kohli. It is perceived as a weakness
:40:36. > :40:49.as the innings goes on, but that actually becomes his strong point.
:40:50. > :41:11.It is taken safely. Just talking about whether he could get there,
:41:12. > :41:15.and he is dismissed by Imran Tahir. Well, he was trying to get there,
:41:16. > :41:19.and that is the reason he played the shot. The face opening at the last
:41:20. > :41:55.minute. Good work Yuvraj Singh replaces
:41:56. > :41:56.Dhawan. This time it is over mid-on and he was waiting for the ball to
:41:57. > :42:44.be tossed up. With a straight bat, brilliant. He
:42:45. > :42:48.is a better player of spin bowling. And he whacks it through mid-wicket,
:42:49. > :42:56.and it's one of the most difficult shots in cricket, and we all love
:42:57. > :42:58.it. That is close. That is an appeal. A very good delivery,
:42:59. > :43:43.spinning into the left-hander. OK, looks like an inside edge. Can
:43:44. > :43:48.we look at the inside Hot Spot, please?
:43:49. > :44:01.Yes, there is an edge there, but can we look at the other edge, please?
:44:02. > :44:12.OK, yes. I'm happy to go back to the field. I've got inside edge, Paul,
:44:13. > :44:13.and I'm happy there. You are on screen now, please stay with your
:44:14. > :44:33.original decision. He will come back for the second,
:44:34. > :44:43.very easily. Long boundaries on that side. The mid-on is up. MS Dhoni up
:44:44. > :44:47.to the crease, and he might leave in finishing it off with a six. This
:44:48. > :44:52.time through the middle, through the boundary and it goes a long way into
:44:53. > :44:58.the stands. India finish off in style, and India qualified for the
:44:59. > :45:02.semifinals. They will be played against Bangladesh on the 15th. A
:45:03. > :45:13.win with 12 overs to spare. A complete performance from the men
:45:14. > :45:19.in blue. They bowled well, they fielded brilliantly. And when it was
:45:20. > :45:23.time for the bat, they finished off in style. A very good performance
:45:24. > :45:28.from the captain. He was under pressure when he came into this
:45:29. > :45:36.game, losing against Sri Lanka a few days ago. He has responded well. The
:45:37. > :45:40.big swing of Yuvraj Singh takes them home, into the stands and on their
:45:41. > :45:45.way to the semifinal. India win by eight wickets and in
:45:46. > :45:49.some style. Before the start of the tournament, this game was expected
:45:50. > :45:52.to decide who would finish first and second in the grip. No South Africa,
:45:53. > :46:00.the number one team in the world, find themselves out, and 191 was
:46:01. > :46:06.never going to be enough. Dhawan and Kohli lived in total control. They
:46:07. > :46:11.put on 128 for the second wicket. The victory never felt then died.
:46:12. > :46:16.Dhawan leads the Golden bat award with a tally of 271 runs in the
:46:17. > :46:26.tournament. South Africa were live to regret a bad innings with the
:46:27. > :46:29.bat. Tahir and Morkel picked up on wicket each. Tahir was brought on
:46:30. > :46:35.late. India were never under pressure. The intensity was really
:46:36. > :46:39.good and it paid dividends later on. It was a good toss to win. The
:46:40. > :46:44.wicket did not change much. We thought it was a decent wicket to
:46:45. > :46:50.bat on. The bowlers bowled well, kept it tight. The fielders backed
:46:51. > :46:55.it up. We had a complete performance in the field. When the opportunities
:46:56. > :47:01.come, you have to grab them. We did that today and it helped us. We had
:47:02. > :47:05.a strong batting line up. Good fielding, an important wicket to get
:47:06. > :47:10.your mate run out? Always good to get him out early. They can really
:47:11. > :47:15.damage the opposition. He can really hurt you in the middle overs. It was
:47:16. > :47:19.a good breakthrough for us. All in all, we wanted to step up in the
:47:20. > :47:25.field and that is what the guys provided within intensity. It was
:47:26. > :47:29.good to see. It is not really the loss, one team has got to lose, it
:47:30. > :47:34.is more the manner of the defeat for South Africa? Definitely. Not an
:47:35. > :47:38.ideal way to finish are tournament. It is very disappointing. Credit to
:47:39. > :47:43.them in the first 20 overs. They did not miss the mark in the field
:47:44. > :47:50.often. They put a lot of pressure is going at 3.5, four and over with the
:47:51. > :47:54.bat. The runouts cost us dearly today. In the tournament you guys
:47:55. > :48:00.have not reached the heights. Were you expecting to get it right today?
:48:01. > :48:04.We never got going. It is very, very sad. We're hoping to play better --
:48:05. > :48:10.we were hoping to play a better game today. More to get excited about,
:48:11. > :48:15.but unfortunately we came unstuck against the better team today. On
:48:16. > :48:19.that surface, were you looking to be conservative? That was not the plan.
:48:20. > :48:23.They bowled well and did not miss their mark. Great intensity in the
:48:24. > :48:26.field. We could not get to away as often as we wanted to. That is not
:48:27. > :48:32.the reason we lost. We were outplayed. We gave away a few silly
:48:33. > :48:37.runs in the field and with the bat in hand, there were soft dismissals,
:48:38. > :48:40.which will cost you. India go through to the semifinals where they
:48:41. > :48:47.are likely to play Bangladesh at Edgbaston on Thursday. They top
:48:48. > :48:51.Group B and they are superior run rate suggest they will stay there
:48:52. > :48:53.regardless of the result of the moral's match in Cardiff were
:48:54. > :48:59.something extraordinary would need to happen for them to be overtaken.
:49:00. > :49:04.Join us for another winner takes all match tomorrow where Pakistan take
:49:05. > :49:09.on Sri Lanka to decide who will go through alongside India. From a very
:49:10. > :49:16.sunny Oval in south London, it is goodbye.
:49:17. > :49:21.England play next Wednesday with their semifinal opponents yet to be
:49:22. > :49:30.decided. Highlights from that match will be on BBC Two. 11:15 p.m..
:49:31. > :49:34.England's opponents will be non-tomorrow after the conclusion of
:49:35. > :49:35.Pakistan against Sri Lanka. Join us tomorrow for highlights of the
