Head to Mulder, out Subrayen Run Out!! Mulder comes down the track, drives hard back to the bowler and Head has managed to flick it back onto the stumps with his right hand. Subrayen's bat is in the air when the bail lights up. OUT! Was that deliberate? Off the inner part of the palm and the ball deflected onto the stumps. Subrayen run out (Head) 1(2)
48.3
W
Head to Maharaj, out Caught by Green at long-off!! Holes out on this occasion. Similar delivery, more power from Maharaj on this occasion as he looks to loft. The timing isn't right though. A straightforward catch for Green who is a few yards in front of the boundary rope. Wicket number for four for Head. Can he get a fifer? Maharaj c Green b Head 13(12) [4s-2]

40.4
W
Head to Brevis, out Caught by Carey!! SIX and OUT! Head bowls full and wider on this occasion, Brevis eyes another six and holes out. Tries to loft over long-on, perhaps could have gone over long-off. Off the bottom part of the bat and finds the man at long-on. Carey doesn't have to move much and he holds onto the catch safely. Replays show that Head showed it up considerably and bowled it at 74kph. Brevis c Carey b Head 6(2) [6s-1]
40.3
6
Head to Brevis, SIX, wow! Dewald Brevis announces himself in ODIs with a six off the very first ball. Trifle short from Head (over the wicket), Brevis ro0cks back and thumps it downtown for a maximum. High and handsome
40.2
W
Head to Stubbs, out Caught by Green!! Full and wide outside off, Stubbs reaches for it as he goes for the loft. Not enough muscle behind it and he holed out at long-off. Green, stationed a few yards in front of the rope, reverse-cups it. Second wicket for Head and Stubbs departs for a duck. Stubbs c Green b Head 0(2)
39.5
W
Zampa to Breetzke, out Caught by Hardie!! A massive top-edge on the slog-sweep, went very high and it lands in Hardie's hands at deep mid-wicet - was invitingly floated up by Zampa and Breetzke couldn't resist going for the big hit, but it's Zampa's extra bounce which led to his undoing, catches the top-edge and flies high into the sky. Breetzke falls after a breezy half-century. Breetzke c Hardie b Zampa 57(56) [4s-7 6s-1]
39.4

32.4
4
Labuschagne to Breetzke, FOUR, a half-chance, but Carey was well inside the ropes and he can only watch it sail over his head - one bounce and over the ropes - was the slog sweep and Breetzke didn't bother to keep it down. Would have gone down Carey's throat had he stayed deeper
32.3
4
Labuschagne to Breetzke, FOUR, nicely played, a loopy delivery outside off - Breetzke takes it on the full and then sweeps it over square leg, the fielder behind square is inside the ring and the ball races away
31.3
4
Zampa to Bavuma, FOUR, nicely played, tossed up around middle - Bavuma bends down low, rolled his wrists and then dragged the sweep behind square on the on-side - big gap between backward square leg and deep mid-wicket and he's found it with precision

23.3
W
Dwarshuis to Markram, out Caught by Josh Inglis!! A wicket against the run of play! Markram shakes his head as he takes the walk back. Cross-seam ball on a short of length, Markram stays back to chop and gets done in by the extra bounce. Faint edge and Josh Inglis bends forward to catch it with both hands.

19.4
4

18.3
4
Head to Markram, FOUR, battered! 84.5kph, away-drifter, overpitched and Markram latches onto it. Presses forward, bends his back leg and thrashes it over extra cover
16.5
W
Head to Rickelton, out Caught by Labuschagne!! Head provides the breakthrough for Australia. Rickelton survived a few close shaves but his luck runs out. 94.7kph, length ball outside off, Rickelton comes down the track and reaches out to drive it through extra cover. He isn't in full control of his shot and doesn't get the necessary elevation either. Marnus dives to his right at mid-off to take a nice catch. Rickelton c Labuschagne b Head 33(43) [4s-3]
16.2
4
Head to Markram, FOUR, shouts of catch it as Markram miscues the lofted drive. Looks to go over extra cover and gets it off the inner part of the bat. Enough elevation to clear mid-off and the ball dribbles away to the fence
15.5
F
Zampa to Markram, 3 runs, fifty for Aiden Markram! 82.4kph, tossed up delivery and full in length, Markram makes room and lifts it with the spin over extra cover. Marnus runs back, slides and pulls it back in just in time to save a run
14.4
Head to Rickelton, 1 run, a chance and Josh Inglis can't hold on, Head has had no luck at all - flighted delivery on off, Rickelton backed away on the cut, a big edge, in and out of the keeper's gloves
13.1
Zampa to Rickelton, no run, another big shout for LBW, but did it pitch outside leg? Australia have reviewed - was very full and Rickelton played all around it, stumbled across and was struck on the back-pad - RTS has a flat line, onto ball-tracking: It's pitched outside leg and Australia have lost a review. Excellent call from umpire Chris Gaffaney
12.2
Head to Rickelton, no run, that looks pretty straight - Rickelton has been given OUT LBW, but he's reviewed it. Did he get an inside edge? It did look like it straightened after pitching, Rickelton was shaping for the big sweep - onto Snicko and it's a flat line. Ball-tracking: It's bouncing over the top of middle, that's a surprise and Rickelton survives. Extra bounce and Rickelton was struck on the elbow - no wonder he reviewed almost immediately
10.3
4
Head to Markram, FOUR, cracking shot, tad too short and wide of off - Markram makes room and then cuts it late, beats backward point and races away to the ropes
8.3
4
Hardie to Rickelton, FOUR, this is a poor start from Hardie - loses the line to the left-hander and angles one onto the pads, fine leg is very square and has no chance as Rickelton places the flick fine
8.1
4
Hardie to Markram, FOUR, short, wide and four, width on offer and Markram stays on the front-foot as he chops it backward of square on the off-side, was in the air and in the gap as well

Dwarshuis to Markram, 1 run, a run-out chance and Rickelton had given up, Carey with the shy at the striker's end and he misses - jabbed to the left of cover-point and it was Markram's call, a poor single and Rickelton had no chance. Carey moved swiftly to his left, collected the ball and then shied, didn't miss by much with Rickelton not even in the frame
5.4
4
Dwarshuis to Markram, FOUR, lovely shot, a half-arm jab and Markram nearly sent it soaring over the ropes - short of a good length and just outside off, Markram picked the length early, brought his wrists into play and flicked it over mid-on
