Innings break We will take a break and return in 40 minutes time for the run chase.

Dwaine Pretorius has told the TV broadcaster that Australia probably got 10-15 runs more than they should have but the South Africans are pleased with their bowling performance. Australia had three players reach 40 but none reached 50. Rabada took four and Pretorius bowled very well to take 3 for 32. Chris Lynn tells the TV broadcaster they might be 50 short but they will back the bowlers to do the job. Too many starts from the batsmen.

Four wickets for Rabada and Australia ar bowled out with nine balls remaining.

Rabada to Zampa, OUT, caught at midwicket! What a bizarre dismissal. It was a short ball at the body, he backed away and it followed him, he played a swat, tennis smash type shot and popped it straight up to midwicket. Easy catch for Miller.

Mike81: "Just got home from work keen to watch rest of game? Can't. Unless pay for foxtel. Guess have to wait till tests from what read. A lot of people missing out on watching there team especially next generation cricketers."

Coops: "I am not so pessimistic. Aussies have an excellent bowling attack that could really test SA. Sure they are a good 40 below where I am sure they would like, but it could be a hell of a lot worse."
