Mitchell Starc	9	1	53	2	5.88	29	3	3	1	0
49.1 to M Jansen, hoisted down the ground, but only as far as Warner at mid-on! Back of a length, Jansen was set for the slower ball but this came onto the bat quicker, and was merely spooned to the fielder. Another strike with the first ball of an over... and an opening for Starc now. 310/6 49.4 to DA Miller, yorker! Starc saves his best to last, and Miller is done in! Wicked late inswing, gets under the bat on an already tight wicket-to-wicket line and thumps leg stump. After the chaos last over, Australia are restoring some order this time. 311/7
Josh Hazlewood	9	0	60	1	6.66	30	7	2	3	0
44.1 to H Klaasen, short, top-edged, into the keeper's gloves! Silence descends over Lucknow as Klaasen holes out, to general bemusement. Hazlewood looks more relieved than elated, it was a big nick and a well-timed hop. But all of a sudden, Australia have a real chance to lop 30-odd runs off their chase. 267/5 See all photos
Glenn Maxwell	10	1	34	2	3.40	32	0	0	2	0
19.4 to T Bavuma, Bavuma goes for the big shot, and he falls! Given a hint of air on a length on middle and leg. Bavuma aims for the moon and has a mighty mow at it. The ball, though, seems to just hold, meaning that he toe-ends it badly. Warner settles himself at deep mid wicket and does the rest. Maxwell is pumped and Australia, after almost 20 overs of toil, have their first wicket!. 108/1 34.5 to Q de Kock, climbs into the reverse-pull and Maxwell strikes! De Kock was looking to get busy, maybe feeling a bit of cramp late in his innings, but the effort of inverting his stance is to no avail, the ball pops from a good length, deflects off the back of his bat, into his chest, and down into the stumps to end a mighty innings. Reward for a fine spell from Maxwell, who has been Australia's best weapon by a distance. 197/3 See all photos
Pat Cummins	9	0	71	1	7.88	19	6	3	0	0
43.1 to AK Markram, ... but he strikes straightaway! Pace off from Cummins, following Markram as he made room to leg, cramped on the cut as the ball sat up off the wicket, and backward point swallowed the offering! A fine hand from the in-form Markram.... 263/4 See all photos
Adam Zampa	10	0	70	1	7.00	20	9	0	1	0
28.3 to HE van der Dussen, holes out to long on! Zampa breaks through! Full on middle and leg, and van der Dussen is enticed into a big shot. Comes down the track, looking to go over long on but gets too close to the ball. Cannot generate the requisite elevation and picks out Abbot on the fence to absolute perfection!. 158/2 See all photos

Lungi Ngidi	8	2	18	1	2.25	35	0	0	1	0
6.6 to DA Warner, Warner falls, and South Africa have two in the powerplay! Dug in short outside off and that entices Warner to throw the kitchen sink at it. The ball, like it has done all over, holds in the surface and Warner cannot keep his stroke down. Chips it straight to cover point, and Australia are wobbling!. 27/2 See all photos
Marco Jansen	7	0	54	2	7.71	24	8	0	3	1
5.5 to MR Marsh, Jansen bites back, Marsh has to go! Full on middle and leg stump. Marsh looks at the length and thinks he can smash Jansen over his head. The ball, though, seems to just stick and meddles with his timing. Skews off the leading edge and Bavuma completes a regulation catch at mid off!. 27/1 33.3 to MA Starc, back of a length, lures a loose poke! Starc is undone by the springboard bounce outside his eyeline, that just kept rising and rising from his beanpole delivery point, de Kock grabs the chance high to his left... and that might just be that.... 139/7 See all photos
Kagiso Rabada	8	1	33	3	4.12	35	5	0	1	1
9.5 to SPD Smith, appeal! Back of a length on middle and leg. Smith walks across and then plays all over it. Gets rapped very high on the pads (or maybe the thigh pad even). Rabada and de Kock are very interested in the lbw, and convince Bavuma to review. No bat involved but was that heading down leg? Ball Tracking comes up, and shows that the ball would have hit the top of leg stump. Smith is absolutely bewildered at the decision, but he has to go!. 50/3 11.1 to JP Inglis, cleans him up with an absolute corker! South Africa are all over Australia like a rash! Length delivery that is seemingly angled into off stump. On pitching, though, the ball decks away devilishly. Inglis is squared up, and plays down the wrong line. Hears the death rattle soon after, and Australia are four down inside 12 overs!. 56/4 17.2 to MP Stoinis, pace down the leg-side, is that off the bat?! The umpire says no, as de Kock leaps like a rampant salmon and clings on in both gloves. South Africa review! It's close to the hip, close to the bat handle... it's probably one or the other... it's glove, but I think his hand is off the bat... or is it! It's been given! I think, from his explanation, Richard Kettleborough reckons the bottom hand is touching the top hand... The second deeply odd dismissal of the innings... and it's not done yet, as they are checking whether de Kock took it cleanly now. The third umpire is happy with that part too, but Australia are not!. 70/6 See all photos
Keshav Maharaj	10	0	30	2	3.00	40	2	0	2	0
16.1 to GJ Maxwell, Maxwell closes the face as Maharaj dips one into his toes, and the leading edge pops straight back at the bowler! That is surely game, set and match! Australia are in a whole heap of doo-doo as South Africa swarm towards their second win of the campaign!. 65/5 34.4 to M Labuschagne, Labuschagne bites the dust! Given a bit of air on a length on middle and off. Labuschagne, batting on 46, thinks he can step down and chip this over short extra cover to get to his fifty. Does not get the elevation he is after, though, and pops it straight to Bavuma.. 143/8 See all photos
Tabraiz Shamsi	7.5	0	38	2	4.85	24	4	0	0	0
40.3 to PJ Cummins, straight to long off, Shamsi has his first! Dangles the carrot on off stump and Cummins cannot resist the temptation to have a pop at it. Swings through the line but does not quite time it as well as he would have liked. In fact, it comes off the bottom half of the bat and Miller makes no mistake at long off! Shamsi immediately pointed to de Kock. Maybe it was a plan to toss it up, after all!. 175/9 40.5 to JR Hazlewood, straight up, and that will be that. Australia have tumbled to a 134-run defeat, and South Africa have been full value for their victory! Given plenty of air on middle and leg. Hazlewood tries to tonk it into next week. Loses his shape completely and skies it. Rabada calls early from short mid wicket and puts Australia out of their misery!. 177/10 See all photos
