Maharaj gets one to turn and bounce. Great battle with Smith so far. Hits Smith on the pads nd it looks to be going down leg. Is given not out but they review it. NOT OUT!

Australia 2/84
The Aussies seemed to be off to a good start but a piece of sheer brilliance by Bavuma in the field turned things on its head. If the Australians are any hope at all of a win or forcing a draw they need something special from Khawaja and Smith. For South Africa their three recognised bowlers have all looked good so far.
What did you think of that session?

Warner edges the first ball and it just goes over third slip for four. He then calls himself through for a quick single the next ball and is done by a direct hit. Marsh nicks the last ball to second slip.
