India vs South Africa, 5th T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Ngidi to Tilak Varma, 1 run, full delivery, Tilak drills along the ground to long-on

Ngidi to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, manages to drive this to extra-cover

Ngidi to Hardik Pandya, wide, oh that's a harsh call for wide. Ngidi again has deceived Hardik Pandya with a slower delivery that dipped low, luckily for Hardik it wasn't on the stumps and finished down leg. But had Hardik not moved inside the line, would have hit the pad so the wide is a bit harsh

Ngidi to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, edged and it flies past the keeper's dive. The bowler has actually won a mini battle with the batter by bowling a well-directed slower delivery to force an edge. But Hardik swung hard to get a thick edge and QdK couldn't get there even with a full length dive

Ngidi to Hardik Pandya, no run, another slower delivery that is very well bowled and beats Hardik now

Ngidi to Tilak Varma, leg byes, 1 run, lovely slower delivery, Tilak tries to reverse sweep and misses, gets hit on the pad but not straight enough for LBW

Ngidi to Tilak Varma, 2 runs, slower yorker, dug out to point. A needless shy at the non-striker's end and it results in an extra run for the home team

Ngidi to Tilak Varma, FOUR, follows the yorker with a short delivery but Tilak is ready with the pull shot and he's nailed that sweetly too over mid-wicket

Ngidi to Tilak Varma, no run, slower full outside off stump, Tilak tries to dig it out but misses

Ngidi to Tilak Varma, FOUR, hey this is unfair on the bowler buddy! Ngidi will argue with his bowling coach that he offered zero width on this short of length delivery but Tilak has still managed to slice this cut very late and beat deep backward point to the right. Stepped out to give himself that tiny bit of room, that's all he needed to get that boundary. Records his 6th T20 fifty with that magnificent hit. The dugout, Hardik and the crowd give him a great round of applause

Ngidi to Tilak Varma, 2 runs, pace off and teasingly full for the batter, Tilak wants the cover drive. Didn't time it but just good enough to clear the infield at cover

Ngidi to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, full and outside off stump, Hardik wants to muscle it again, mistimes the drive to deep cover

Ngidi to Tilak Varma, 1 run, tapped away to deep point

Ngidi to Abhishek Sharma, no run, full pitcher around off, Abhishek drives firmly but straight to mid-off

Ngidi to Abhishek Sharma, no run, three in a row.. Another off-pace delivery, 117ks angled across, Abhishek tries to launch it down the ground and is nowhere close to making contact. The ball bounces in front of de Kock and hits him on the finger. He's in pain and called for the physio

Ngidi to Abhishek Sharma, no run, once more a loopy 118.3ks delivery, Abhishek is through the shot early and the ball sneaks under his bat, this was well outside off

Ngidi to Abhishek Sharma, no run, uhhh! That was clever from Ngidi. Abhishek shimmies down and is deceived by the 114.5ks slower ball, it dips on him and sneaks past his swinging blade, not far from the off-stump

Ngidi to Samson, 1 run, full and angled into the pads, Samson clears his front leg and clips it to deep square leg

Ngidi to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, full and around leg, Abhishek goes hard on the flick and squeezes an inside edge to deep square leg

Ngidi to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, direct hit might have had Abhishek. 135.6ks back of a length delivery, Abhishek camps back and closes the bat face, the leading edge goes to mid-off and he sets off. Markram swoops down and throws while being airborne, he does not hit the target and Abhishek survives. He had given up..

Ngidi to Abhishek Sharma, no run, 133.7ks on a length and not quite there for the drive, but Abhishek plays it on the rise and hits it on the bounce to mid-off

Ngidi to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, Abhishek is off and running. He does not take much time to get going - first ball and he charges down, gives himself room and smashes it straight down the ground

Ngidi to Samson, 1 run, in the air and lands short. Samson sees the width outside off and throws his bat, ends up slicing it over backward point and Bosch is played in the deep, just bounces in front of him

Ngidi to Samson, no run, now some swing for Ngidi. Good length ball outside off, Samson once again does not move his feet as he looks to drive on the up, but the ball shapes away and beats the outside edge

Ngidi to Samson, no run, play and miss! Bit of extra bounce and Ngidi has a look at the pitch. 136.9ks short of length outside off, Samson saw the width and went hard on the slash, the feet didn't move and he was beaten by the bounce. The ball keeps swirling and makes it difficult for de Kock to glove the ball, he gets hit on the fingers and is in some pain
