Marco Jansen to Marnus Labuschagne
Pitched up around leg, pushing it further down the leg side. Labuschagne moves inside the line and misses the tickle.
14.2
1
Marco Jansen to Marnus Labuschagne
Nagging length, in and around off stump. Labuschagne looks to get forward and push at it, but gets an inside edge down to fine leg for a single.
14.3
0
Marco Jansen to Steve Smith
Smith is up to his antics, dancing around in his crease. Good length, angled well down leg. Smith moves across to the off side, lifting the left leg a bit and leaves it alone.
14.4
0
Marco Jansen to Steve Smith
Slightly back of a length, sliding into the batter's body. Smith flicks it off the hips to the fielder in front of square leg.
14.5
0
Marco Jansen to Steve Smith
That's a much better length from Marco. Full of a good length, landing it around off and angling back into the right-hander. Steve Smith gets across a bit and plays it with a straight bat to mid on.
14.6
0
Marco Jansen to Steve Smith
Dug in a bit shorter and outside off, getting the ball to wobble away a bit. Smith makes a leave. After 15 overs, Australia are teetering along at 39/2.
15.1
0
Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne
Pitched fuller in the channel outside off, at 142.9 clicks, and this one goes straight on. Labuschagne shoulders arms.
15.2
0
Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne
Nortje keeps the length fuller and the line close to the off stump, making Marnus play at it. Labuschagne gets forward and jams it back towards the bowler.
15.3
0
Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne
That's zipped through! Full again, around the fifth-stump line and nibbling away. Labuschagne leaves it alone and Kyle Verreynne ends up pouching it around head height.
15.4
0
Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne
Now a switch-up from Nortje. Bashing a hard length and pushing it wide of the off stump. Labuschagne is enticed by the width on offer and has a swoosh at it, but is well beaten.
15.5
0
Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne
Good length, in that corridor of uncertainty, nibbling back in ever so slightly. Labuschagne makes a watchful leave.
15.6
0
Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne
My, my! Anrich Nortje is in fantastic rhythm. The length is immaculate, just full of a good length, making the batter doubt whether to get forward or stay back. Labuschagne does neither and is taken aback by the away movement and the extra bounce, and the ball just nips away from the shoulder of his bat. Another maiden for Nortje.
16.1
2
Keshav Maharaj to Steve Smith
Good teamwork in the field, and Steve Smith gets only two runs. Lobbed up wide of the off stump, and it immediately grips a bit. Smith extends his arms, scything it wide of gully. Ryan Rickelton chases it down and flicks it back in, and Tristan Stubbs from point backs him up well, keeping the batters down to a brace.
16.2
1
Keshav Maharaj to Steve Smith
Bowled flatter and angled into the pads, Smith tucks it 'round the corner on the leg side, picking up a single.
16.3
0
Keshav Maharaj to Marnus Labuschagne
Flighted ball just outside off, there's a bit of turn and bounce on offer. Labuschagne watchfully leaves it alone.
16.4
1
Keshav Maharaj to Marnus Labuschagne
Tossed up fuller and on off, Labuschagne gets forward and eases it down to long off for a single.
16.5
0
Keshav Maharaj to Steve Smith
The length is pulled back now, and Maharaj extracts some slow turn off the deck as well. Smith stays back in his crease and blocks it off.
16.6
0
Keshav Maharaj to Steve Smith
A loopy ball, bowled very full and on leg. Steve Smith clips it away to mid on.
17.1
1
Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne
A rib-tickler from Nortje, and Labuschagne tucks it down neatly to fine leg for a single.
17.2
0
Anrich Nortje to Steve Smith
Full ball outside off, trying to draw out a drive from the batter, but Smith stays disciplined and makes a leave.
17.3
0
Anrich Nortje to Steve Smith
Top stop by Tristan Stubbs. Fullish length wide outside off, Steve Smith extends his arms and plays a wristy drive, lacing it to the left of backward point, where Stubbs dives across and saves a certain boundary.
17.4
1
Anrich Nortje to Steve Smith
Pitched up around middle, Smith shovels it away between mid on and mid-wicket for a single.
17.5

Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne
A length ball, pushed wide of the off stump, and Labuschagne shoulders arms at it.
17.6
0
Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne
A tad fuller and closer to the off stump line, but still fairly wide. Labuschagne makes another comfortable leave.
18.1

Keshav Maharaj to Steve Smith
Looped up, on middle. Smith firms the drive back to the bowler with a straight bat.
18.2
0
Keshav Maharaj to Steve Smith
Shorter and wider, slow turn off the deck. Smith waits on it before playing the cut but he picks out the man at backward point.
18.3
6
Keshav Maharaj to Steve Smith
SIX! Excellent use of the feet. Flighted delivery, drifting in on off. Smith dances down the track and reaches the pitch of the ball. He swings through the line and launches it over mid on for a biggie. The 50 is up for Australia.
18.4
0
Keshav Maharaj to Steve Smith
Speared in very full, on middle. Smith hangs back in the crease and digs it out.
18.5
0
Keshav Maharaj to Steve Smith
Full and darted in at the sticks. Smith brings his bat out in front and defends it out.
18.6

Keshav Maharaj to Steve Smith
SIX! High and handsome! Smith does not want Maharaj to settle. Floated up, full and wide on off. Smith presses forward and just extends his hands into the lofted hit. He goes through with the shot and clears the long off fence with ease.
19.1
4
Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne
FOUR! Not convincing but they all count the same. Nipping back in sharply, too straight, on the pads, on a good length. Labuschagne hops and plays the line with a straight bat. Gets an inside edge and it races down to the deep fine leg fence.
19.2
1
Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne
Good cricket all around! On a back of a length, angled in on middle. Labuschagne presses up on his toes and tucks it wide of mid-wicket. Temba Bavuma charges across and slides to pick the ball up. He scores a direct hit at the bowling end but Marnus is in by then.
19.3
1
Anrich Nortje to Steve Smith
A little too straight, at the hips. Smith nurdles it past the man at short leg. They think about the second run but eventually decide against it as the short leg fielder hunts it down.
19.4

Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne
No run, that is left alone for the keeper to collect.
