Player of the Match

Excellent performance from Australia's pace attack. South Africa rolled for 76. There was some movement and the visitors were outclassed. Brown raises the ball to the crowd as she leads the team off. So now it's over to the South Africa attack to see what they can do. As with the bat, the absence of Kapp will be huge. I'll be back in a few minutes.

Here's Sampath: South Africa's innings (31.2 overs) is the fourth shortest all-out innings in women's Tests. Three of the top five shortest all out innings have come since December.

31.2

Brown to Hlubi, OUT, cleaned up! Five for Brown. Full and straight, inside edge into leg stump. Great moment for the young fast bowler

A Hlubi b Brown 5 (23m 17b 1x4 0x6) SR: 29.41

31.1

Brown to Hlubi, no run, full outside off, 116kph, swings and misses

Will Brown be given another over? Yep, she continues

END OF OVER:
31 | 5 Runs | SA-W: 76/9

Masabata Klaas10 (25b)
Ayanda Hlubi5 (15b)

Annabel Sutherland9-2-19-3
Darcie Brown9-1-21-4

30.6

Sutherland to Klaas, no run, follows her with a will-directed bounced, ends up down in the crease but survives

30.5

Sutherland to Klaas, no run, short of a length, goes over the top edge as Klaas backs to leg

30.4

Sutherland to Klaas, no run, full at leg stump, jabs to the on side

30.3

Sutherland to Hlubi, 1 run, skews off a thick outside edge into the off side and lands into space

This will be getting a little frustrating for Australia now

30.2

Sutherland to Hlubi, FOUR, fuller at off stump, another one driven straight down the ground

30.1

Sutherland to Hlubi, no run, plays a full delivery to the on side without any footwork

A short, straight catching mid-off in place

END OF OVER:
30 | 9 Runs | SA-W: 71/9

Ayanda Hlubi0 (12b)

Darcie Brown9-1-21-4
Annabel Sutherland8-2-14-3

29.6

Brown to Klaas, no run, back of a length, Klaas played inside the line of it and the ball travels over middle stump

29.5

Brown to Klaas, no run, full outside off, Klaas can't reach it having moved outside leg

29.4

Brown to Klaas, no run, follows her with another full toss, tapped into the leg side...119kph

29.3

Brown to Klaas, no run, beats the outside edge and leg stump, Klaas had shuffled outside leg

29.2

Brown to Klaas, no run, a bouncer, straight, backs away out of the line...Brown just straining for this fifth wicket

29.2

1bnb

Brown to Klaas, (no ball) 4 byes, oh dear, that's a huge full toss, a beaming down the leg side, beats everything. Attempted slower ball, perhaps

29.1

Brown to Klaas, FOUR, down the ground! Another good stroke from Klaas. Full at leg stump, clears the front leg and swings it through mid-on

END OF OVER:
29 | (maiden) | SA-W: 62/9

Ayanda Hlubi0 (12b)
Masabata Klaas6 (15b)

Annabel Sutherland8-2-14-3
Darcie Brown8-1-16-4

28.6

Sutherland to Hlubi, no run, full outside off, offers to shape back and left alone. Not too far from taking off stump

28.5

Sutherland to Hlubi, no run, 117kph, crunches a straight drive back to the bowler. That nearly carried to Sutherland

Varun: "Would this be the lowest score for SA women in tests if get bowled out now?" Yep, 89 their current lowest

28.4

Sutherland to Hlubi, no run, beats the edge of a half-hearted drive

28.3

Sutherland to Hlubi, no run, spoons a full delivery in the air but falls short of mid-off
