18:47 Local Time, 16:47 GMT, 22:17 IST: That's an excellent recovery from South Africa. Just 40 runs from the last 6 overs. India were looking set for a score in excess of 220 but lost their way once the Samson-Tilak partnership was broken. It was the Sanju Samson show today. The keeper-batter became the first Indian to score consecutive hundreds in T20Is. He started well in the powerplay and never looked back. The other batters played around him and he added a couple of 50+ stands for the second and third wicket. But once he was dismissed India lost their momentum and had to settle with 202. This is still a steep chase as the highest successful chase at Durban is 191. So South Africa have to bat well to chase this down. We'll be back soon with all the action..

Congratulations Sanju Samson for back to back centuries

Sanju Samson: I was in a zone, it was automatically flowing, so I let it flow. [what is intent for you?] It's a good question actually, if the ball is there to be hit, go for it. Focus on one ball at a time and that helps. The wicket does play a big role here, extra bounce and coming from India we do take time to understand the wicket. There's a huge wind blowing from one end and their bowlers bowled very well, our bowlers too would like to copy from them. [on his current form] If I think a lot I will get emotional. I waited for this moment for 10 years, I'm very happy, grateful and blessed. But I would like to keep my feet on the ground, be in the moment and enjoy. Looks a really good score, if we bowl to our 80% potential we should be fine.
