21:52 IST: 13.4: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Heinrich Klaasen, On a length tailing on the pads.

Pant rolls the ball towards the bowler and Bhuvi runs back to break the stumps and catch Nortje short of his ground. Slower from a short of length, Maharaj shimmies down the track to try and go over mid-off. The ball flies off the outside edge and goes straight down Karthik's throat. It is just adapting to it (the conditions), I went to yorkers early in the last two games, I focused on bowling the hard length today. The batter doesn't quite know where the ball is and turns around to make his ground. This was a slow pitch and not good as Delhi or Cuttack, not quick as the other two grounds. We have certain goals as a bowling group and we want to continue to achieve those goals. We wanted to execute certain plans, but it didn't work out in the last couple of games, it was a must win game to keep the series alive, pretty happy I did it in this game. With the batting, we didn't really turn up. The action shifts to Rajkot. Join us on Friday for the fourth T20I. Until then, goodbye and good night. When you get a good start, it's difficult for a new batter to come in and go big straightaway. The fielding really didn't back us up.
