Show Preview

It’s day two at the Gabba, where things are evenly poised between Australia and South Africa. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 11:20am (AEDT).

Australia were almost flawless with the ball, taking advantage of a green wicket at Brisbane against a hapless South African batting lineup. Temba Bavuma and Kyle Verreynne showed some resilience, but bar that it was been nothing short of disappointing for South Africa with the bat.

To the Proteas’ credit, their pace attack has kept them in the game and had the Aussies under huge pressure at 3-27. However, Travis Head led the way with a counter-attacking 78 so far, to leave the Aussies trailing by seven runs with five wickets in hand.

Day two promises to be as exciting as day one, with neither side willing to back down. For the Proteas, they would want to bowl the Aussies out for less than 200 and get some runs on a wicket that should play better over the next two days or so. As for Australia, they would want Head to continue, while Cameron Green, Alex Carey and the bowlers will need to chip in with the bat to get a massive first-innings lead.
