K Richardson to JJ Smuts
OUT! CAUGHT! Smuts falls but it is too late, it seems for Australia. Warner does not miss out on these kind of catches. Slower ball on off, Smuts looks to go over long on but gets it off the toe end of the bat. The ball goes towards long on where Warner settles himself and pouches it easily.

BEATEN! Good length ball outside off, Miller looks to guide it to third man but fails to get any bat on it. The Aussies put in a half-hearted appeal for caught behind but the umpire is not interested.

K Richardson to H Klaasen
DROPPED! Klaasen gets to his fifty in a streaky fashion! David Warner drops him at mid on. Full on middle, Klaasen lifts it towards mid on but does not get the required distance and elevation on it. Warner dives to his left but fails to hold on as the ball goes to the long on region for a boundary.
