18.2 to C Bosch, middle stump flattened, and SA are losing wickets in a hurry now! This is a juicy full toss on middle stump, and perhaps ought to have been smashed into the ocean. Bosch, though, is probably not expecting that sort of delivery and he only swats away a few flies. Finds his middle stump in a mess soon after, and Hazlewood has a wicket to show after a tough day's work!. 197/6 | ||||||||||

4.5 to AK Markram, taken at mid-off! Skips down the pitch, looks to drive down the ground. Gives Owen a chest-height catch. Didn't get the elevation. Maxwell very pumped with that. 44/2 6.5 to LG Pretorius, he's gone! Pretorius just stands out of his crease. He came down the pitch, ball dribbled off an inside edge back towards Carey who gathers it and is miles out. Not sure Pretorius knew where the ball was.. 57/3 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 24 | 2 | 6.00 | 14 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
3.3 to RD Rickelton, taken at midwicket! Goes for the pull to a short delivery, can only splice it into the on side and it's a simple catch for David, although he suggests he may have lost it in the lights. Dwarshuis rolled his fingers over the seam. 34/1 17.4 to HE van der Dussen, holes out to sweeper cover, and Australia have two wickets in quick succession! Angled across on a back of a length outside off. van der Dussen steps down, trying to carve this over extra cover. Cuts across it a little too much, though, and that rids the stroke of the power it needs. Abbott tracks it all the way on the fence and takes it smartly over his right shoulder!. 196/5 | ||||||||||

| 4 | 0 | 46 | 1 | 11.50 | 7 | 5 | 2 | 2 | 0 | |
16.2 to T Stubbs, a wild mow across the line, and Stubbs has to go! Zampa holds his nerve and throws this up on a length outside off. Stubbs goes after it but loses his shape completely. Slices it terribly and the ball loops up for backward point to complete the easiest of catches. A neat, little innings by Stubbs, alongside Brevis, and this has set SA up for a hefty total!. 183/4 | ||||||||||

9.4 to TH David, is that the game?! Massive moment. Full outside off, David looks to drive over cover but can't clear the ring. Cleared the front leg, but for once couldn't get the placement or elevation. 104/4 | ||||||||||
| 1 | 0 | 9 | 1 | 9.00 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
1.6 to TM Head, picks out deep midwicket! Dragged down short, Head goes back and pulls, doesn't try to keep it down but can't get the distance. Well judged near the rope. 16/1 | ||||||||||
| 3.4 | 0 | 19 | 1 | 5.18 | 11 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
17.4 to SA Abbott, simple catch at short third, and Australia's nine-game winning streak has been snapped, and we are going to a decider in a couple of days' time! This is another slower ball (surprise, surprise) that drops on a fullish length outside off. Abbott has a wild slog across the line and gets a thick outside edge. Swirls towards Rabada, who makes no mistake, and that caps off an excellent South African performance - kick-started by Brevis, and then finished off by the bowlers!. 165/10 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 57 | 3 | 14.25 | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2 | 1 | |
3.3 to C Green, the youngster strikes! Great catch at midwicket, Peter diving full-length to his right. Short of a length, Green latches onto a pull. Well, hold on a moment, the umpires are checking this. Peter lost the ball very quickly. Umpires also checking it is clean. It's fine all round, cleanly held and he had control of it for long enough. What a grab from Peter. 29/2 10.5 to GJ Maxwell, in the air, and taken at deep mid wicket! Maxwell bites the dust, and Australia slide further into trouble! Full just outside leg, and this is there to be hit too. Seems like a slower one, however, and that meddles with Maxwell's timing. He gets it off the toe-end and spoons it towards Brevis, who runs around to his left and dives forward to snare the chance. Another big moment in the game, and another moment that has gone SA's way!. 112/5 14.4 to MJ Owen, stumps go splat, and Maphaka has his third for the evening, and his seventh for the series! The bails do come off this time and this is almost a carbon copy of the first game. Hard length, zoning into middle and off. Owen shows his hand too early and backs away. Swings at it wildly and misses, and hears the death rattle soon after. An incredibly scratchy knock, and South Africa press home their advantage further!. 147/6 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 0 | 35 | 1 | 11.66 | 5 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 0 | |
15.4 to AT Carey, catch it is the call, and Brevis answers that call! Peter gets on the board too and Australia are reeling now! Floated up just outside off. Carey skips down the track, thinking he can demolish this over cow corner. Does not quite get to the pitch of the ball, however, and he ends up dragging it because he has to reach out. Pops it towards deep mid wicket and Brevis, keenly watching the ball, completes a smart forward-tumbling catch. Australia seven down, and staring down at a defeat for the first time in ten games!. 151/7 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 0 | 20 | 3 | 6.66 | 8 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
7.1 to MR Marsh, very high, taken at long-on! Another start that Marsh doesn't convert. A fullish delivery, Marsh aiming over the leg side, slices it a little and Stubbs takes this one safely. 77/3 16.5 to BJ Dwarshuis, middle stump knocked back, and Australia eight down now! Back of a length on middle and leg. Might have been a cutter too and that was what got the better of Dwarshuis. He wanted to plant this into next week but the lack of pace led to an air-shot, with the stumps being rattled not long after!. 165/8 16.6 to A Zampa, holes out to long on, and SA seem to be in a hurry now! Hard length just outside off. Zampa stands up tall and rather ambitiously, tries to pummel that over long on. Gets a good chunk of it but not enough to clear Stubbs, who stations himself a few yards inside the fence and gobbles up the chance in front of his face!. 165/9 | ||||||||||
