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!

We are underway in the final session. Duminy to bowl to Smith.

How will this play out?

TEA

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?

Not Out

The decision is over turned as the ball has hit his pad and not his bat.

What an incredible piece of fielding. Direct hits always seem to be close. Huge blow for Australia’s chances.
