Jansen falls!
South Africa are in all sorts!
Jansen chips Hazlewood to mid-off and throws his wicket away.
This match has turned drastically since day one.
His 26 was handy though.
SA 8-197
INSANE CATCH!
Smith, that is outrageous!
He saw the reverse sweep coming and moved to his right but Verreyne got decent bat on it and he had to reach to the limit.
But somehow he still plucked the catch out of the air.
INSANE catch for Lyon to get a second!
SA 7-197
Haze back
Josh Hazlewood takes the ball after the drinks break and starts on the perfect line and length.
His extra bounce and accuracy will work well to counter Jansen throwing the bat around.

Jansen strikes
Big Marco is swinging hard and he is finding the gaps so far.
He’s giving the Aussies something to think about as fielder push back.
SA 6-183
Bang, Bang
Marco Jansen knows how to deal with the short ball.
Cummins brough deep backward square up and drops short twice and gets smoked to the rope.
This will be a must-watch battle with Jansen.
And they have bizarrly brought on Webster to ball medium pace.
SA 6-170
CATCH!!!!
Stubbs has fallen for the most obvious trap in cricket.
Cummins moved deep backward square out with deep fine leg, telling the South African he could expect a short ball.
He delivered it and Stubbs pulled it straight Hazlewood at deep fine leg.
Gone for 32 and the hosts are in deep trouble having yet to pass the follow-on score.
SA 6-162
The Periscope!
Cummins has forced the error from Mulder with a good surprise bouncer.
He got it to rise and Mulder tried to pull out of the pull shot.
But he couldn’t get it out of the way and the ball lobs up to Cooper Connolly at mid-wicket.
He goes for 30 from 50.
SA 5-155
Flattened out
The baking sun has done it’s job at the lunch break alongside the roller.
There’s not much movement and even Lyon is not getting the pop he was.
It sees Travis Head get a bowl!
SA 4-142
Streaky runs
The South African fans are getting behind the team.
Mulder gets a thick outside edge on a drive and it runs past gully for four.
The crowd are looking for any way to support their team after a tough start to the day.
SA 4-123
Back underway
Starc starts with a very loose one.
His second was full and wide but cover saves his blushes.
SA 4-115
