RUN OUT! Reeza Hendricks gets run out as South Africa lose their second wicket. SA- 23/2 in 2.3 overs.
Markram In At 3 For South Africa.
Reeza Hendricks and Matthew Breetzke the openers for South Africa but it's a top start from India. First a maiden over from Mohammed Siraj before Mukesh Kumar got rid of Matthew Breetzke in the second over. SA- 4/1 after 1.3 overs.
After 20 overs, IND- 201/7. SKY the stand-out performer with 100 off 56 balls.
Jitesh Sharma gets out hit wicket! Gets back so far that his leg disturbs the stumps. Still one ball to go.
4 off 2 and run out for Jadeja as India look to maximise the run scoring in these remaining deliveries. IND- 199/6. Two balls to go.
Four Balls To Go. Williams bowling the final over.
What a player! Suryakumar Yadav gets to hundred off 55 deliveries. He falls next ball but IND- 194/5 after 19.2 overs.

India Going at 9 an over. After 12 overs, IND-108/2.
Half-Century For Jaiswal. It's come off 34 balls. Great innings by the youngster.
Timely maximum that as India now look to break free to stay in the hunt for a total in excess of 200 and it's come off the bat of Suryakumar. That helps India fetch 11 off the 11th over. IND- 98/2 after 11 overs.
8 Runs Off The 9th Over. IND- 83/2. Yashasvi Jaiswal- (44* off 26), Suryakumar Yadav- (24* off 22).
But no, Jaiswal has managed to find the boundary in that over. Not once but twice as India fetch 11 runs from the over. IND- 75/2 after 8 overs.
Tabraiz Shamsi Into The Attack. Chance for South Africa to chip in with a couple of tight overs against the duo of SKY and and Jaiswal.
Phehlukwayo Finishes The Seventh. Just 2 from it. IND- 64/2 after 7 overs.
Burger Returns but he is welcomed with a gorgeous stroke straight past the bowler for a boundary. Four off the first ball and Burger will feel the pressure.
Suryakumar Yadav Announces Himself. What a shot for a six off Williams to end the fourth over. He then produces an edge off the second ball of the next over from Maharaj before a sweet connection for a six off the fourth. IND- 56/2 after 5 overs.
Superb from Jaiswal. This Indian team is not going to stop even if they lose wickets. That's exactly what they are doing here. This time around the bowler is Lizaad Williams as South Africa use their fourth bowler in four overs but the third-ball is pulled away for a maximum.
And now it's Tilak Varma who falls for a golden duck. He has hit that straight to mid-off, trying to attack the first ball but balls. Things have changed rather quickly and dramatically at the Wanderers. IND- 29/2 after 29.3 overs.
A 15-run second over as Jaiswal went after Markram but in the very next over Maharaj gets rid of Shubman Gill who falls for 12 off 6. Out LBW and India lose a wicket after a quickfire start. IND- 29/1 after 2.2 overs.
One down the ground for a straight boundary by Gill before a leg bye for a boundary to end the over. So a good over for India to start the innings in Johannesburg. IND- 14/0 after the 1st over.
Gill gets up and running. Off the mark with a boundary. Glorious drive for a boundary.
Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal open for India. Nandre Burger with the new ball in hand for the Proteas.

BREAKING NEWS: South Africa Elect To Bowl First.
Toss In Just A Bit at the iconic Wanderers Stadium. STAY TUNED!
The first match of the series was washed out while South Africa won the second rain-affected game by 5 wickets in Gqeberha. This is the final match of the series before the teams square off in a three-match ODI series.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the third T20I between India and South Africa.
Background
IND vs SA 3rd T20I LIVE SCORE: It has been a rain-affected T20I series between India and South Africa so far. While the first match of the series was abandoned without a ball being bowled, the second match was a curtailed one. Rain came in when India had batted 19. 4 overs and put on 180/7. The revised conditions meant, the Proteas were given a target of 152 in 15 overs which looked stern at the outset but as it turned out, the Men From The Rainbow nation chased it down with 5 wickets in hand and 7 balls remaining.
That sets things up nicely for the final T20I of the series as the action now moves to Johannesburg. Only one team can clinch the series from here and that happens to be South Africa who are 1-0 ahead. However, the series may not be the only thing in mind in the management of these two teams, especially with the T20 World Cup in mind. The larger goal would be to build a team that can help them lift the Cup.
That makes things interesting especially with regards to a place in the side is concerned. While India went in with Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second T20I, that meant there was no place for Ruturaj Gaikwad. Meanwhile, there was no Shreyas Iyer either. Does that mean India go in with the same combination? Arsdeep Singh too looked far from his best which could tempt the captain to go to somebody else.
Similar dilemmas could be there in the South African camp even as they sense an opportunity to claim a bilateral series. Brace yourselves for another exciting game of cricket.
Probable Playing 11s:
India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad/Shubman Gill, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav/Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar
South Africa: Reeza Hendricks, Matthew Breetzke, Aiden Markam (captain), Heinrich Klaasen (wicketkeepe), David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Donovan Ferreira, Andile Phehlukwayo, Lizaad Williams, Ottniel Baartman/Nandre Burger, Tabraiz Shamsi
