Australia win! back of a length and angled in, helped down to deep fine leg. They aim for the second. There is a direct hit at the non-striker's end from wicketkeeper Wade after collecting the throw from Khawaja in the deep. Redemption for the missed stumping? Tahir's bat is in the air as the bails get dislodged. All over

Full commentary
8.58pm David Warner set it up with his first ODI century outside Australia, at Warner Park. Amla and the returning du Plessis led SA's chase with fluent half-centuries, before Hazlewood and Zampa triggered a collapse. Starc then burst through the opening and toyed with SA's notoriously long tail. From 210 for 3, they crashed to 252 all out.
Australia, though, had to suffer the anxiety of Warner leaving the field in the chase with a hurt index finger. The latest update is that he will be assessed over the next 24 hours.
Presentation:
AB de Villiers: We played good cricket for most of the day, but lost our way with the bat and cost us. I threw away a few runs in the field but it was a chaseable total. We just did not bat well enough. All the bowlers bowled well and it was the bat the cost us tonight. It is not too much we can do with such little time. A lot of our dismissals were soft tonight, including my own.
Steven Smith: I thought 290 was a pretty good total. I knew if we got stuck in, we could defend it. It is not easy when you have Mitchell Starc coming in and reversing the ball. Yeah, Zampa was good. He held his nerve and mixed it up. He has come a long way. Starc was quick, there wasn't much swing early on. Then he got reverse swing. Davey played beautifully and his partnership with Usman set us up. I was just taking my time and hit a few out of the middle, having not contributed in the first couple of games.
David Warner, Man of the Match: I think it's all about riding the form. Abbott was hard to get away. Me and Uzzie talked about getting stuck in. The way the skipper finished was fantastic for us. He's got such fantastic wrists. So far, we have been playing well. Sometimes, I have wasted many opportunities in ODIs, in New Zealand, and to be honest I thew a few runs out there today as well. The first ten overs are crucial.
Andy: "So SAF threw it away. Sigh."
That is all we have for you from this game. Thanks for tuning in. Goodbye and good night/good morning.

Starc to Rabada, 1 leg bye
big appeal for lbw, not given by Wilson. Steven Smith challenges the on-field call. Inswinging full toss, raps the back pad in front of leg stump. All three stumps visible. Looked like it was sliding down the leg side. The tracker confirms it
Gowrisankar: "JP Duminy hasn't won any matches for his teams in the recent memory... Dont know why SA carrying him!!!??" --- The pressure on him mounts. He hasn't scored an ODI fifty since July 2015

Starc to Phangiso, OUT
Maxi takes a screamer at backward point. Plucks it out of thin air. Angled in full and tails away late outside off at 146ks to mess with the drive. He slices it in the air. Maxi leaps and stretches his right hand over his head. He comes out with the ball in one hand. One-handed stunner! The timing of the jump was impressive
