Bhuvi isn't looking dangerous at all though on the same pitch
When did Bumrah become so good, anyway? I remember him from years back and remember reading about him during the Australia tour but don't know when he became so consistent.
Glad I picked him as my leading wicket taker prediction.
Can't ignore that fact that they lost twice chasing already.
Which caf poster had that 'Kohli's at the wheel' flag?
From day 1. Had some great success in Australia 2016, played in the T20 WC and was really good.
Brilliant.
Can't remember a SA so bad
I don't know, he's not looking that bad. Obviously not as dangrous as Bumrah though.
It's more the fact that you don't want to someone like Bumrah under these conditions when you can't afford to play him off. Appreciate that South Africa lost chasing twice already but Bumrah could rip through the top order and then it's game over in 30 minutes.
Win the toss and bat first more, Faf. 
Especially when they could have had Rabada have a go at our openers who haven't had a lot of runs under their belt off late. Ridiculous decision.
Christ they're all over SA. They pretty much need to shut up shop against Bumrah, they probably won't score enough runs only looking to score off 40 overs but they certainly won't win all-out for less than 100.
Need a captain's innings from du Plessis if the Saffers are going to post a competitive total.
India going in with 2 spinners in England. If Pandya bowls well, then the first 11 is very well balanced.
Should have played Shami. He was in good form in IPL and in incredible form for India before that.
Think the Pakistan supporters had a major bearing on Tuesday's result. You could see the England players getting riled and frustrated, can't remember the last time that happened. It's easy to imagine the crowd barracking contributed to the dropped catches, overthrows etc.
England will have to get used to that though. It'll be exactly the same against India and Bangladesh.
Bumrah's the best white-ball bowler in the world now, I'd suggest. Can't think of anyone better (Starc, Rabada, Cummins and Rashid Khan would be the other candidates).
South Africa look like they're going to be heading home.
South Africa look like they're going to be heading home.
Yeah would agree with that would throw Amir into the mix too.
I like Imran Tahir too.
Kuldeep is going to bamboozle them here.
Yeah they'd probably be on the long list wouldn't they. Hopefully Archer can join that bracket too.
Ho ho the odd ball bouncing sharply from good length
The last minute change of de kock over buttler backfired terribly.
Can't remember a worse South African batting line-up than this. Retirement of Kallis and De Villiers has hit them hard.
At least they're not back in the hutch, but SA have had to slow their scoring so much you just can't see them posting a decent score.
Thats a bad shot. Looks really talented, though.
Chahal cleans one. Miserable shot selection.
Read a good comment on Cricinfo: When Kuldeep doesn't get you, Chahal will
India on fire.
Make that two. On the ropes South Africans.
Double wrist spin is a great tactic from India.
This middle order is relegation level. Completely finished players.
One of those lbws that you walk for.
Nice to see Kuldeep get a wicket, bowl with a bit more rhythm. First few overs were not good.
Looks like another loss for SA.
They can't get on top of the run rate and are giving away wickets, a terrible combo that will only send the game one way.
SA seem to have a poor middle to lower order to rebuild if they collapse. They need to start rebuilding after this tournament.
Excellent from India so far. SA look like one of the weakest sides in the tournament though.
India should have put them away by now. These two done well to get SA past 200.
It's now beginning to turn into a challenging chase for India, given the conditions.
