sandeep: "Both batters did not cash their centuries. Will India cost some 50 runs now. 350-60 might be the target. Pandya is missed badly." Badly feels a stretch, but yeah, this'd have been the perfect time for Pandya's entry

Markram to Washington Sundar, out Washington Sundar Run Out!! Washington Sundar run out (Corbin Bosch/de Kock) 1(8)

Markram to Washington Sundar, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

stupid washi

Markram to Rahul, FOUR, that's more like it. Rahul moves around in the crease and makes Markram follow him, he stays put and sits down to play the sweep, places it backward of square and picks up the boundary

India--317/5

Marco Jansen to Rahul, FOUR, to deep backward point.

Congratulations to K L Rahul for his half century.

KL you Captain Beauty

Corbin Bosch to Rahul, 2 runs, 18 from the last over. Short of length delivery, Rahul is rushed on the pull and mistimes it wide of long-on. Jadeja races back for the second and Rahul too makes it in as the throw goes to his end

Corbin Bosch to Rahul, SIX, whoa! Rahul has just slog swept Corbin Bosch. He goes round the wicket and angles it across, but the length is in the slot and that allows Rahul to kneel down, smokes the slog sweep over deep square leg. 85-meter six..

India won’t be entirely satisfied with that finish. Their innings bore a striking resemblance to the first ODI - a strong foundation at the top, cameos from Rahul and Jadeja at the end, yet a sense that they’ve left a few runs out.

India-- 358/5

Rohit Sharma fell early, while Yashasvi Jaiswal once again hinted at his potential, he couldn’t convert it into something substantial. But one man who did make full use of his chance was Ruturaj Gaikwad. Walking in at 62/2, he weathered Marco Jansen’s short-ball ploy, took his time and then opened up. Virat Kohli played the perfect senior partner, guiding him along and soon the pair were matching each other stroke for stroke. Their running between the wickets stood out - sharp, urgent, and relentless, it powered a magnificent 195-run partnership.
