5.06pm South Africa have left Australia needing to pull off the highest chase in a World Cup. It was set up by Quinton de Kock's pulsating start, sustained by Faf du Plessis's industry and then when it mattered towards the end, Rassie van der Dussen delivered. He's quickly risen to be counted as one of the key members of this batting line-up going forward. With a number of big-ticket retirements expected, that can't really be a bad thing.

For Australia, Starc had an off-day, his first spell being as wayward as you may have seen him for a long, long time. Lyon easily the pick of the bowlers. In general, the faster men struggled, largely because they couldn't quite hit the right lengths on a surface that is getting slower. Join us in 30 minutes as Deiva will be back to kick off the chase.

Faf Du Plessis says: Glad to get a decent total. We needed partnerships, talked about guys putting their hands up to get bigger scores. No one had really done it, the kind of scores that wins you games, [good to see] Rassie do well. Pace off the ball will be key in the second innings. Would've taken this total, extremely happy.

Cummins to van der Dussen, OUT, flat-bats the pull, which for most parts looked to be a six, until you saw Maxwell throw himself high in the air at deep midwicket to pluck this with the sun right in front of his eyes. Rassie also picked out the longest boundary. 95 but what a knock, he'll have many more opportunities in the future to get a century,

HE van der Dussen c Maxwell b Cummins 95 (136m 97b 4x4 4x6) SR: 97.93

Can he get to his maiden 100 with a six?

Cummins to van der Dussen, no run, top-edges the pull and it falls in no man's land. Could've taken the single but he doesn't. Deiva belts out 'Rassie, channel the spirit of MS'

Cummins to Phehlukwayo, 1 bye, full and wide again, looks to squeeze behind point but misses and they scoot a bye

Cummins to Phehlukwayo, FOUR, carved away to the point boundary. Thought he'd improvise so bowled full and wide, Andile was ready to reach out and pick the gap behind square. Lovely timing, excellent awareness of the field

Starc to Phehlukwayo, no run, another ripper of an inswinging yorker, Andile just about manages to get his bat down in time. Not sure how, but he did.

Right, was that Faf's best 100 against Australia? Have your say on our #LiveReport

Starc to Pretorius, OUT, full, straight, late reverse and boom! The stumps go for a walk as this is a pitch-perfect yorker. Pretorious was looking for the wild swing, by the time his bat came down, the ball had crashed into the stumps

Starc to Pretorius, no run, thick edge, excellent reflexes from Carry to throw himself to his right to stop this on the bounce
