WICKET Anrich Nortje is trapped legbefore. Lungi Ngidi is knocked over. Two fast arm balls results in two wickets. Ashton Agar is on a hat-trick again. No 11 at the crease. Can he get another 3 in 3?

WICKET David Miller falls. There is very little left in the contest now. Australia aren't even bothering to celebrate.

WICKET Adam Zampa strikes at a crucial time, castles Heinrich Klaasen in his first over. 57 for 3.

POWERPLAY Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen have helped South Africa to 50 for 2 at the end of the powerplay. It's a good score but South Africa need to up the scoring rate to remain in hunt of the target.

WICKET Mitchell Starc has struck early, dismissing Quinton de Kock in the first over, and following it with the dismissal of Faf du Plessis in the next. South Africa are left tottering in the chase. 23 for 2 in 2.5 overs.

Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen have walked out to open the innings for South Africa. Mitchell Starc with the new ball.
