Die hard fan of the Adelaide Crows and Essendon Bombers. I was also born in to the religion of Indian Cricket. Don't mind a bit of NBA, NFL, Tennis or F1 either

Top shot from de Kock, driving a full ball confidently down the ground, but it’s even better fielding from Warner as he throws in the dive to save three.

The new ball is available should the Aussies want it, but they’ll be sticking with the old ball for now.

Interesting move from Paine, calling for the helmet and coming up to the stumps for Marsh. We’ve seen de Kock do it for Philander, but Marsh is a good 5-10 kph faster.

Yep superb stuff from Mitch Marsh and it’s even more impressive considering he was pretty crook yesterday.

This is nothing more than a forward push from de Villiers but it’s raced past mid off for the third boundary in the over. The defecit is now under 50.

The Proteas are in trouble now, as David Warner’s stairwell buddy makes his way to the crease. South Africa could do with a quick fire 50 from Quniton de Kock now.

WICKET!
Mitch Marsh can do no wrong! Very similar to the du Plessis dismissal, as he once again gets the ball to tail in late as thuds into de Bruyn’s pads as he attempts to drive the ball past mid off. No review from de Bruyn and Hawkeye confirms the ball would’ve clipped leg stump.

WICKET!
All hail the GOAT! This is absolutely unplayable from Lyon! He tosses the ball up getting into to drift in, it pitches on middle and grips slightly to spin away from de Kock to hit the top of off stump. That’s the ball of the innings!
