SA vs AUS Live Cricket Score

4.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Nortje draws first blood. Absolute jaffa from him. Gets this fuller length ball to shoot off a bit and move away from around off. Warner pokes at it with hard hands but gets an outside edge behind. De Kock pouches it with ease and celebrates. The opening bowlers have bowled superbly and now they have a wicket to show for their brilliant effort. Excellent start for South Africa. Warner's struggling series comes to an end, not the way he would have wanted to return to South Africa. 12/1

15 OUT! CAUGHT! Yes, he has his fingers under the ball. Dupavillon gets his maiden ODI wicket. It's an excellent grab from Miller. Dupavillon spears in and bowls a fuller ball outside off, Finch looks to drive but does so uppishly towards Miller at extra cover. It goes towards Miller who pouches the ball inches above the turf. The umpires though want to confirm if the catch is clean and they refer it upstairs. Replays come in and show that Miller has his fingers underneath the ball. So, Finch has to walk back and Australia now, in a real spot of bother. Tight lines and lengths from the Proteas are fetching them the rewards. Big wicket for the Proteas and one that Dupavillon will remember for the rest of his life. The top 3 is back in the pavilion for the tourists and they are in real trouble here. 55/3

11.3 OUT! LBW! Umpire's call on hitting the wickets. Phehlukwayo gets the big fish. The shuffle across the off stump has cost Smith his wicket. Phehlukwayo bowls this length ball around middle and leg, Smith does his usual shuffle and looks to work it on the leg side but misses to get hit on the pads. The bowler makes a loud appeal and the umpire agrees. Smith and Finch get together, they discuss the DRS option and eventually go for it. Let's see the replays. First up, it is front foot. It is fine. No bat either, confirms Ultra Edge. It is pitching in line as well and just clipping the leg pole. The on-field umpire's decision stays but Smith has to depart. 43/2

49.5 OUT! Timber! Labuschagne falls but what a knock from him. The crowd applauds the effort as he walks off. A back of a hand ball from Nortje, Labuschagne moves across to the off side and looks to hammer it over fine leg but he swings it a little too early and misses. The ball crashes on the middle stump. An excellent knock comes to the end but not before he has taken his side towards a very good total. 253/7

31.1 OUT! Caught! The partnership that was recovering the innings for the Aussies and laying the platform has come to an end and it is a big blow for the tourists. Smuts with the breakthrough. Smart bowling from JJ. He bowls it slower and on middle and leg, Short looks to flick but does so uppishly as the ball arrives a lot slower than he anticipated. He ends up hitting it to the left of short mid-wicket. Klaasen, who has had a tremendous series is once again in the thick of action. He moves to his left and takes a good catch tumbling down. 136/4

42.1 OUT! RUN OUT! David Miller is the man once again. What an excellent piece of fielding from him. Full and outside off, Labuschagne drives it towards covers firmly. Miller though at that position throws himself to his right and flicks the ball quickly to the keeper. The batters have already taken off so de Kock collects the ball and whips the bails off to find Marsh short. No need to go for the third umpire there as Marsh is nowhere in the picture. Another threatening-looking stand has been broken. 189/5

42.4 OUT! TIMBER! JJ Smuts knocks Carey over! This is a ripper from him and Carey departs for a duck. Smuts bowls this flatter one around off and slower through the air. Carey is early in his push towards the off side off his back foot. The ball turns just enough to beat his bat and disturb the top of off. 189/6

10.3 OUT! CAUGHT! The hero from the last game has to depart. Hazlewood gets another. Brilliant bowling from Josh! He bowls it on a length outside off, Malan looks to defend off the back foot but it takes the outside edge and goes to the right of the keeper. Carey moves to that side and then pouches it safely. Malan practices the shot before he starts walking back to the pavilion. 201 needed from 237 balls. 54/2

8.1 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Change of end works for Hazlewood as he gets the big wicket of Protea skipper. This is a big wicket and de Kock has been kept quite in this entire ODI series. A length ball around off and middle, de Kock looks to defend but he ends up chopping the ball into the stumps. De Kock was starting to look dangerous but he falls. 47/1

42.1 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. 229/4

27.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Picks out the fielder at deep square leg to perfection! Zampa will be happy but he would know that he is lucky to have that wicket. It was a rank long hop and Verreynne could have hit this anywhere in the ground. Short ball on middle, Verreynne rocks back and pulls but does not time it well. The ball goes towards deep mid-wicket where Labuschagne runs across and takes a good catch. End of a good innings from Verreynne but he will be disappointed that he missed out. 105 required in 135 balls. 150/3
