    That was an ugly ball. I didn't see too much of Rabada coming down to say the ball had slipped. Warner was asking for the no-ball.

  2. Stuart Law
    Former Australia batter & West Indies coach on BBC Test Match Special

    Warner looks really determined. There is a look in his eye.

  3. Aus 12-1

    Rabada bowls fuller and a wide-eyed Warner drives superbly through cover for four. Lovely shot.

    The bowler delivers a high full toss. Warner turns to the umpire and cheekily asks to review it for a waist-height no-ball.

    A good over for the Aussies. Eight from it.

  4. Aus 8-1

    Four! Warner pulls through square leg. That will settle the nerves.

  5. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    That nearly knocked De Kock off his feet. Nortje is lively. He has proper pace.

  6. Aus 4-1

    New batter Mitchell Marsh is tested with a back of a length delivery and plays and misses, the ball speeding over the top edge.

    South Africa are buzzing. Do we have a game on here?

  7. Stuart Law
    Former Australia batter & West Indies coach on BBC Test Match Special

    Finch will be disappointed. Nine times out of 10 that would be smashed for four.

  8. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    One of the those freakish dismissals. It could have gone anywhere. They are never easy catches. You never know how they are going to carry.

    WICKET

    Finch c Rabada b Nortje 0 (Aus 4-1)

    Early breakthrough! It's wide outside off and there to be hit, Finch throws everything - including the kitchen sink - and a top edge sends the ball flying into the hands of Kagiso Rabada at third man.

  10. Aus 2-0

    The South Africa fielders have a real spring in their step - on their toes and hurling the ball back in as Australia search for their first boundary.

  12. Aus 2-0

    Warner didn't have the best of times in the IPL and is a man in desperate need of runs. He plays and misses at a full delivery from Nortje.

  13. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Nortje has been doing well with the new ball. He is the type of bowling that makes all dismissals possible - top of off. That worked well for Hazlewood so South Africa will be hoping for a similar start.

  14. From one ridiculously quick bowler to another, Anrich Nortje will take the second over for South Africa.

  16. Aus 2-0

    Nearly an early breakthrough! Finch advances to Rabada and a leading edge sends the ball ballooning up and just short of the bowler.

    Rabada then has one really jumping off the turf, Finch goes fishing outside off. A terrific ball and a good opening over from the explosive pace bowler.

  17. Stuart Law
    Former Australia batter & West Indies coach on BBC Test Match Special

    Mitch Marsh has been in fine form. I would still go with him at three. Sometimes you can get too funky in small chases. It comes down to the top three or four getting the bulk of the job done. Big responsibility on Warner and Finch at the top.

  18. Aus 0-0

    Warner prods off the back foot. Dot ball to begin.

  19. Stuart Law
    Former Australia batter & West Indies coach on BBC Test Match Special

    Warner will want to go out and finish this as quickly as he can.

  20. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    David Warner has faced 14 balls since April.
