0.1 OUT! TAKEN! A sensational catch from Cooper Connolly. Aiden Markram is back in the side, but his return lasts just one ball as he departs for a golden duck. Josh Hazlewood bangs this one in short of a length outside off and gets it to climb sharply. Markram throws his hands at it, but fails to keep the shot down or clear the infield. The ball flies towards short cover, where Connolly launches himself and plucks it one-handed out of the air with his left hand. An incredible start for Australia as the Wanderers fall silent. South Africa are 0/1. 0/1

|
7 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Josh Hazlewood has the final say once again. He hits a good length outside off and gets the ball to angle away from Quinton de Kock. The opener looks to attack it, throwing his hands at the delivery, but is slightly off balance and only manages a faint outside edge. It flies through to Alex Carey, who makes no mistake behind the stumps. South Africa are 36/2. 36/2

| Temba Bavuma C | 103 | 116 | 10 | 2 | 88.79 |
|
37.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, the 156-run partnership is broken and something for Australia to buld on. Jack Edwards bowls this on a length, around off, Temba Bavuma backs away and hits this from the outer portion of his bat towards the right of Xavier Bartlett at sweeper cover. Bartlett runs in from the fence and holds onto a good catch to send Bavuma back. South Africa are 249 for 4. 249/4

| Matthew Breetzke | 34 | 28 | 6 | 0 | 121.42 |
|
15.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Jack Edwards removes the dangerous-looking Matthew Breetzke from the middle. A big moment as this is his maiden ODI wicket. Jack bowls it on a back of a length, around off, Matthew Breetzke stands up on his toes and looks to play the square cut, but the ball is too close for the cut and bounces a bit more than he expects as well. He ends up getting on outside edge that's taken well around the chest by Alex Carey behind the stumps. Breetzke trudges off the field in disappointment. 93/3

| David Miller | 142 | 93 | 12 | 9 | 152.68 |
|
46.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Maiden ODI fifer for Jack Edwards as David Miller departs on 142. Good length, around off, going across the batter, taking pace off too. Miller looks to loft this over the covers but gets it sliced off the outer portion of his bat as he has to reach out for it. The ball lobs behind the fielder at point. Cameron Green runs back and takes a good catch to end his innings. Everyone at the stadium is on their feet to show appreciation for this amazing knock. South Africa are 331 for 7. 331/7

| Tristan Stubbs | 6 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 75 |
|
39.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A change of pace has done the trick for Jack Edwards. Slower bouncer, around middle and off, Tristan Stubbs looks to pull this around the square leg region but the bat swings early and the ball arrives late. It takes a top edge, and the keeper, Alex Carey, takes a good catch running to his left. South Africa lose half their side now. 261/5

| Marco Jansen | 19 | 15 | 1 | 2 | 126.66 |
|
44 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Jack Edwards has his fourth wicket of the innings. He digs this one in short of a length outside off, putting extra effort into the delivery. Marco Jansen stays back and looks to whip it across the line, but the bat turns in his hands and the ball takes the top edge. It balloons up behind the wicket, with Alex Carey calling for it before moving across to his right and taking a composed catch. South Africa are 307/6. 307/6

48.5 OUT! ANOTHER CAUGHT BEHIND! Short again by Josh Hazlewood, around off, Bjorn Fortuin looks to take it on with a pull. Gets it top-edged into the hands of Alex Carey behind the stumps. Carey makes no fuss about it and holds onto a regulation catch. His fifth catch of the innings. 353/8

49.3 OUT! LBW! Another one bites the dust. Xavier Bartlett bowls it full and attacks the stumps this time around. Keshav Maharaj shuffles across and looks to flick this through the backward square leg region but fails to connect and gets hit on his pads. A gentle appeal from the fielding side, and the umpire raises his finger. South Africa are 360/9 now. 360/9

17 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Bjorn Fortuin has the breakthrough South Africa were looking for. After five fairly loose deliveries, he gets the arm ball spot on, keeping it slightly short and aiming for middle stump as it skids on with the arm. Mitchell Marsh is caught in his crease and plays down the wrong line, allowing the ball to beat him and clip the back pad before crashing into the stumps. Australia are 130/1 in pursuit of 366. 130/1

| Travis Head | 84 | 76 | 12 | 1 | 110.52 |

25 OUT! LBW! Aiden Markram gets the big fish in Head. Tossed up, on middle and leg, the ball lands and straightens a tad. Travis Head goes down on one knee and looks for the slog sweep but misses out completely and is hit on the front pad. A loud appeal for LBW and the umpire raises his finger. Travis Head sends this upstairs almost straightaway. Three reds on the Ball Tracking with the ball hitting the middle stump, cuts short the innings of Travis Head on 84 off 76 balls. 191/3

| Cooper Connolly | 10 | 7 | 2 | 0 | 142.85 |

20 OUT! TAKEN! Lizaad Williams strikes. A soft dismissal, and Cooper Connolly falls cheaply here. This is on a hard length and around leg. Connolly stays back and looks to work it away, but the ball holds up slightly and catches the upper part of the bat. It loops up towards short mid-wicket, where Aiden Markram makes no mistake and takes a simple catch. Australia have slipped from 130/0 to 157/2. 157/2

27.2 OUT! LBW! Keshav strikes as he sends Carey back. Floated on middle and off, Alex Carey rocks back and looks to work it around the square leg region but misses and gets hit on his pads. A loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Alex doesn't think of sending this upstairs and keeps walking back. 203/4

| Matt Renshaw | 32 | 34 | 4 | 0 | 94.11 |

36.2 OUT! LBW! Once again, the fielding side strikes soon after the drinks break, and we have seen that pattern play out several times in cricket. Keshav Maharaj fires this in flatter and fuller around off, getting it to grip and turn sharply into Matt Renshaw. The batter steps across to defend but fails to pick the turn, with the ball beating the inside edge and thudding into the front pad. A huge appeal follows, and the finger goes up. Renshaw reviews immediately, but UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking returns three reds, confirming the ball would have crashed into middle stump. The on-field decision stands, and Renshaw has to depart. Australia are 241/5, still needing 125 runs from 82 balls. 241/5

39.3 OUT! IN THE AIR... GONE! Bjorn Fortuin has his second, and with the required rate climbing, Australia needed Cameron Green to make something happen. Fortuin floats this one full around off and gets it to turn away. Green comes charging down the track, looking to launch it straight back over the bowler's head, but has to reach for the ball and slices across the shot. It goes high towards long off, where Marco Jansen moves across to his left, gets into position and takes a safe catch. Green's difficult stay at the crease comes to an end. 251/6

| Jack Edwards | 25 | 30 | 0 | 1 | 83.33 |

46.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Marco Jansen strikes a big blow here. He bowls the knuckleball, full and around off. Jack Edwards tries to mow it down the ground but fails to get the elevation due to the lack of pace on the ball. It flies towards long on, where Matthew Breetzke runs a long way to his left and takes a superb catch, tumbling onto the ground in the end. Australia are 312/7 now. 312/7

47.4 OUT! LBW! Lizaad Williams removes Australia's last real hope! He nails the yorker on middle, tailing in sharply and turning it into a toe-crusher. Xavier Bartlett is late getting his bat down and the ball crashes straight into his boot. There is a huge appeal, but the umpire says no. Temba Bavuma opts for the review, and UltraEdge confirms there is no bat involved. Ball Tracking then returns two reds, showing the ball going on to hit leg stump. Bartlett looks absolutely distraught as the decision is overturned, and South Africa are now just one wicket away from victory. 322/9

46.3 OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Two in two for Marco Jansen and he is on a hat-trick now. He lands this short of a length and well outside off. Adam Zampa reaches out and connects well with his slap but unfortunately it flies straight to sweeper cover, where Keshav Maharaj keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a good catch. South Africa two wickets away from the win now. 312/8

Williams goes fuller and attacks the middle and leg stump, with Josh Hazlewood backing away and looking to loft it down the ground. He fails to get the timing and skies it towards mid-off, where Aiden Markram takes a couple of steps back before completing a fine catch. 333/10
