4.40pm South africa will chase 272 for victory after Lungi Ngidi's 6-58 had him joining this list as Proteas players to take a five-wicket haul agianst Australia.

Aaron Finch and D'Arcy Short both reached 69 to joint top-score for Australia. Whether that's enough, we shall see. The highest score chased in a D/N match at this ground is 262 and South Africa managed to tie with England, reaching 270.

Mustafa Moudi: "Though Aussies have not set a big target but with their bowling attck of Starc, Cummins, Zampa and Agar? Don't think South Africa would be able to chase it down... all they need is to avoid big Partnerships !!"

Joe: "Should be comfortable chase for SA; see off Starc and Cummins early then milk easy runs in the middle overs. Aus really going to miss Hazlewood's ten overs here "

With those contrasting opinions, we'll take a short break. Andrew Miller will be back soon to steer you through the first part of South Africa's pursuit.

Nortje to Starc, OUT, and that's a wicket on the last ball! It's pitching right in line with middle, full, it hits him low on the front foot as he steps across his stumps looking to turn the ball down to fine leg. He calls for the review, but that's well and truly gone and it's confirmed
