    8.2 taken at long leg! He falls to the short delivery. Goes for the hook, doesn't keep it down, and it's a comfortable catch near the rope. De Kock never got going today. 19/1

    11.6 oh dear! Big mix-up and he's run out. That's a mess. van der Dussen punched towards mid-off and set off for the single, Bavuma wasn't going anywhere. van der Dussen gets most of the way before he attempts to turn and get back. The throw is gathered by Carey as he moves towards the stumps and he underarms into them 33/2
    18.2 Top edge off Markram's pull ejects into the moon; Carey moves towards square leg, settles underneath and takes a fine catch. Carey had to reach out in front and pouch it as he fell. Did brilliantly to take it. Ball was short and angling in to the body, Markram went hard for the pull, tried to go square. Carey wasn't wearing his sunnies and the sunshine was bright, so his effort was top class. Markram was absolutely distraught right after making contact. 70/3

    24.6 Stoinis sends the off stump cartwheeling! 133kph ball on a length keeps a bit low, Klaasen tried to push his bat low to adjust to the lack of bounce but was a too late. He was on the back foot, which afforded him very little time to adjust. Stoinis has two. 97/4
    25.4 Hazlewood nicks off Miller with Test-length bowling. Just 130kph but on a perfect length, landed in front of off and angled away. Miller tried to block it towards cover, could only tickle it to the keeper. 100/5
    36.6 through him! Hazlewood does it again. Good length, might have nipped back a touch, crashes into middle off the bottom edge. Jansen was staying slightly leg side of it 157/6
    39.6 goes for the sweep, gets a top edge and it's a looping catch to short fine leg. That's a giveaway from Coetzee with 10 overs left 168/7
    42.1 more low bounce, another one clatters into the timber! Back of a length, Maharaj playing back and it smashes into halfway up middle and off 182/8
    43.2 edged, taken with a juggle! A nice delivery that slides across, draws Rabada forward and it's a thin graze which Carey grabs by his chest 185/9
    48.6 he can't see out the over this time...length ball at off stump, he goes for the drive and it's a healthy nick to Carey 222/10

    0.2 Warner chops on for a duck! A very wide back-of-length ball at 139kph, Warner's eyes lit up and he went for the crashing cut but inadvertently crashed it back onto his stumps. Perfect start for South Africa. 1/1
    8.4 Head's clothed the pull, Rabada takes it at square leg! Australia four down! Shortish ball angled in towards Head, he tried to pummel it square or behind, skied it right up, Rabada went across and took a good catch. The angle and a bit of extra bounce does for Head. 56/4
    5.1 Rabada's jaffa nicks off Marsh! That's the magic ball to deceive an in-form batter. Full ball was angling in towards the pad, it swung away late. Marsh tried to whip it through midwicket, tickled it off the leading edge to the keeper. Rabada's wings are out in celebration. 38/2
    5.3 Bouncer into the helmet! Green removes his helmet and has a rub around his ear. The physio comes out for a concussion test. The camera from behind shows what looks like a droplet of blood. The bouncer was pinpoint accurate at 140+kph. Angled in towards off stump before pitching, it came in further. Green had no time to react whatsoever, he turned his head away (to the off side) and got hit. Green has to walk back. Hopefully, he'll be okay. Updates will be provided when available. 38/2
    7.6 Another chop on! Back of length outside off at 142kph, Inglis went for the square drive off the back foot. Inside edged it onto his pads, back onto the stumps. 56/3
    11.1 Wow, that is a monster of a delivery to rip out middle stump! Steyn-like celebrations from Coetzee, dude's veins might pop out. Length ball angled away, beat the flick and demolished the stumps. Carey tried playing that on the back foot 72/5
    13.5 Another batter out on the pull! Short ball rushes Stoinis, he's done for sheer pace. It closes in on the chest, Stoinis goes through with the shot and gets it off the sticker; it balloons to midwicket. Coetzee is swarmed by his team-mates and he's still just as belligerent 93/6

    16.3 done him! This has ripped! Length ball on the stumps, around middle and leg, Abbott plays back, it spins past the bat into off stump. That turned a lot. Abbott missed it by a long way 113/7
