India vs South Africa ODI LIVE innings summary:
Ishan Kishan on his match-winning knock: Feeling good, it's 1-1, so very excited to play the decider at Delhi. Really happy with the way we contributed to the team. It is my home ground, there were too many people watching. When I was fielding they were asking me to get a hundred today, but unfortunately, I missed it. No worries, I'm just happy that my team won the game today and maybe in the next game I will give my best and make my team win again. It's difficult here sometimes, because I played so many matches in Ranchi, it is not easy for the new batters to score runs, so we were looking to play according to the merit of the ball and not to play any harsh shots. Nortje, Rabada are too quick, and sometimes the ball isn't coming on properly and stopping a touch and the next ball it was coming really quick. So, I was planning to go for a pull shot if it was near my chest and not to play a pre-determined shot if the ball is not there. So I was just trying to put the ball in the gap and it went my way.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE innings summary:
A clinical win for the Indians as Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan have driven their side home with a brilliant partnership worth 161 runs for the second wicket. Ishan Kishan was holed in the deep trying to continue his six-hitting stint, but Iyer continued till the very end and scoring an unbeaten 113 - his highest score in ODIs to lead his side to a seven-wicket win! The third and final ODI at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi will have a lot to offer now with the series levelled at 1-1. Indians can take pride with the manner in which they have won the match, while it has been consistently termed as a second string side in the absence of all the big names.

20:45 (IST)

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
The crowd was cheering at the start of delivery with Shreyas Iyer on strike, but he moves away at the last moment. Kagiso Rabada's effort is in vain. More drama before his century.

Another cut shot by Shreyas Iyer, this time almost of the middle stump. Plays it left of the backward point and the ball races to the boundary for four runs. He is on 97 now. An amazing century loading in Ranchi.

20:39 (IST)

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Two calm overs without boundaries. But the required rate is less than 5 runs per over currently. India will make sure to not take any risk after being in such an authoritative position!

Shreyas Iyer in trouble. Keshav Maharaj has gone for a review for an LBW decision. The umpire didn't entertain the appeal and the ball seemed drifting down the leg side to the naked eye.
No bat involved, a straight line on snicko as the ball passes the bat.
The ball has hit the back leg of Iyer.
Pitching - in line,

Impact - in line,

20:26 (IST)

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Shreyas Iyer seems to be cramping in humid conditions. He has been out in the middle for quite a while now, and he is feeling the heat. It will be worthwhile to see how long he can continue. The physio has been out twice in two overs to treat him. Remember, he was already out in the field for 50 overs in the first innings.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
South Africa were 204/3 after 37 overs.
India have managed to be well ahead on 220/3.

South Africa lost two wickets at such a stage that choked their run flow. Can their bowlers do something similar to India or will Iyer and Samson cruise the run-chase?

Ishan Kishan departs after an incredible innings. And Bjorn Fotuin has his maiden international wicket. A short delivery, Kishan trying to continue his hitting stint, but shovels it to the deep mid-wicket fielder. He is livid with himself, sits on the pitch for a while before heading back. India lose their third wicket, but Kishan has played his part.
