And then Starc cracks it next ball

All too late, but at least semi respectable

Not sure, if the Aussies can get Markram out (and it looks a big if given how he is batting) then South Africa's demons and the new ball will come into play.

Gem of a ball by Starc to the new batsman.

Slow progress for South Africa this morning. Australia have played better in this first hour.

[NTA]

KP really is hard listening

[NTA]

Another desperate review

[NTA]

Going over IMHO

[NTA]

Didn't even get that far

[sparky]

South Africa not comfortable this morning but not collapsing either.

KP really is hard listening

Hayden is worse

[sparky]

@NTA You know why he was called FIGJAM by his own team-mates?

[sparky]

Markram is in imperious batting form.

[sparky]

South Africa only need 25 runs. Nearly there.

[sparky]

Confidence flowing through the South Africans now. History beckons. 19 to win.

[sparky]

Not sure they will bother with the lunch break.

[sparky]

Appeal for a catch?

[sparky]

Not out. It bounced.

[sparky]

LBW shout against Markram. Not given. Australia can't review.

[NTA]

Umpires call anyway

[canefan]

South Africa about to relieve years of futility and failure

[NTA]

I seem to remember looking up who each team played in this WTC cycle.

Proteas didn't have more than 1 test series that was 3 matches and maybe only played India during that time of the big 3?

I could be misremembering but it says a lot about what they've been able to do here.
