The run rate isn't great. The Aussies would want a few more wickets with the power that's to come, but SA aren't getting away from them. Bavuma going could be a blessing as he wasn't timing it at all.

Really interested to see how Australia go from here. Smith and Labuschagne need to get as close to a run a ball centuries and give a platform to someone like Maxwell to come and crunch it. I just wonder if they have enough power in their batting. SA are looking very impressive. Ngidi with a wicket and only 4 runs conceded from 4 overs!

Steve Smith never believes he’s out LBW.

Hopefully he loses his match fee for his dissent there.

Good job he isn’t playing at the Joie Stadium. He’d have been sent off.

Can't let a team like South Africa go to 4 points

Early days. Teams could lose 4 games and have an outside chance of qualifying.

Think we play Australia in our penultimate group game. We might be able to send them home.

Always nice seeing the Ozzies being pummelled though.

Have we to say thought it looked like going down leg or clipping leg at best.
Hilarious tho. And another!

It was hitting half way up middle. ;-)

Probably why I’m not an umpire.
Mind you the real one did agree with me.

Losing 4 games and qualifying still you need results like this ending with with an Aussie win, teams taking points of good teams to cancel each other out! Aussies got no chance wining this now!

India and New Zealand for me will qualify south Africa are on there way too! Pakistan the wild card! It's going to be good to watch when everyone played 5/6 games

I was messing with you. I’d give Steve Smith out LBW even if it came off the middle of his bat.

I hope he demands a replay.
