Pat Cummins to Aiden Markram
In the air...SAFE! Bangs this into the pitch, well outside off. Aiden Markram looks to take it on with a pull shot but has to drag it. He is not in control and gets a top edge. It flies towards deep mid-wicket, where Nathan Lyon moves to his right but the ball drops well wide of him. They cross.

Pat Cummins to Marques Ackerman
SIX! Poor delivery and gets the treatment! Pat Cummins sticks to the short stuff to Marques Ackerman, but lands it down the leg side. The batter gets inside the line of it and just helps it on its way. Gets enough bat to sail it over the fine leg fence for a biggie.

Pat Cummins to Marques Ackerman
FOUR! Easy pickings! Touch fuller but down the leg side yet again, there to be hit. Marques Ackerman just tickles it away as the ball races to the fine leg fence for four more runs. 100 UP FOR SOUTH AFRICA!

Mitchell Starc to Aiden Markram
DROPPED! Nothing seems to be going right for Australia! Mitchell Starc lands this short of a length and just around off. Aiden Markram looks to punch it away but miscues it as the ball lobs towards short cover. Travis Head tries to grab it with both hands above his head, but the ball comes slower than he expects and he shells it. Starc cannot believe it and just turns around to walk to his bowling mark. That could prove to be a costly drop for the Aussies.
