India vs South Africa LIVE: SA left in the dust
South Africa will have to improve on their batting to stand a chance in the rest of the series. They were skittled out in just 12.3 overs, and never looked like stitching a long partnership. With the ball, SA did a decent job, but with the bat, they'll have to do a lot more to beat the world champions at their den.

India vs South Africa LIVE: Clinical India
Magnificent performance from Team India. The men in blue rocked up to Cuttack and displayed exactly why they are the No. 1 T20I team in the world. They recovered from a slow start with the bat to reach 175 in 20 overs. And with the ball, wow. Arshdeep set the tone, and one-by-one, every single bowler struck. Two wickets each for Arshdeep, Bumrah, Varun and Axar. South Africa barely had a sniff.

India vs South Africa LIVE: No-ball drama
Seems like Jasprit Bumrah might have overstepped in the delivery he dismissed Dewald Brevis. The umpire called it a fair delivery, and Brevis walked off without looking back. However, replays show that Bumrah's foot wasn't exactly behind the popping crease, and even commentator Mpumelelo Mbangwa raises doubt.

India vs South Africa LIVE Score: GONE!
Bumrah strikes again! Keshav Maharaj is gone for a duck. Short from Bumrah, Maharaj gloves it, and it's caught by Jitesh behind the stumps. Two wickets in one over for India's pace spearhead.

India vs South Africa 1st T20I LIVE: OUT! Huge milestone for Bumrah!
GONE! Dewald Brevis looks to go big against Jasprit Bumrah, ends up skying it, and Suryakumar Yadav takes the high catch really well. 100 T20I wickets for Jasprit Bumrah. He becomes the first Indian to take 100 international wickets in all three formats.

India vs South Africa 1st T20I LIVE: SA 68/6 after 10 overs
10 overs done, and South Africa are already on the brink of defeat. Dewald Brevis is their only remaining hope. India have been sensational with the ball, taking wickets at regular intervals and pinning back the Proteas' chase.

Marco Jansen, wow! Just rocks onto his back foot and helps it for a maximum over deep mid-wicket against Varun Chakravarthy. Second 6 for the 6'8-tall SA all-rounder!

Top shot! Marco Jansen knows how to hit them a long way, and he does exactly that against Hardik Pandya. Whacks it over long-off for his first 6 of the game. Sensational strike.

India vs South Africa LIVE: FOUR!
Another boundary for Dewald Brevis. He has hit a few excellent shots, and is batting at a strike-rate of nearly 200. Sadly for him, the wickets have tumbled at the other end. All hopes on Brevis now, who plays for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL. South Africa will hope for an MS Dhoni-esque finish from Brevis today.

Another one bites the dust! Varun Chakravarthy brought back into the attack and he makes an impact immediately. Donovan Ferreira is caught behind, sharp catch from Jitesh Sharma. South Africa are five down!
Chakravarthy bowls a wicket-maiden!
