  1. SA 263-3published at 43 overs

    Four more.

    Aiden Markram goes in to out and lofts over the covers for another boundary.

    He then keeps the strike with a quick single. Good cricket.

    That's a classy shot from Aiden Markram to bring up his fifty. Pat Cummins dropped him early. We said that was a big miss at the time and so it has come to pass.

  3. 50 runs

    50 for Aiden Markrampublished at 12:39 British Summer Time 12 October 2023

    The South Africa right-hander is having a superb tournament so far.

    He skims Adam Zampa down the ground for the four, before picking up another boundary into the covers.

    He reaches his half-century off 41 balls.

    Remember, Pat Cummins dropped him on one.

    Mitchell Starc is good, isn't he? I know that is the sort of cutting-edge analysis that you come for.

    He does throw in a rank, leg-stump full toss but Heinrich Klaasen can only whip it away for a couple.

    Just six from the over. Gold dust at this stage of the innings.

    Here's how Glenn Maxwell picked up the wicket of Quinton de Kock for 109.

    Rasping straight drive. Klaasen hits it so hard. That was only 10 yards from the fielder.

  8. SA 243-3published at 41 overs

    Markram 42, Klaasen 21

    Aiden Markram has played beautifully again today after smashing the fastest World Cup century in South Africa's opening game.

    He picks up another boundary with a perfectly placed reverse sweep.

    Heinrich Klaasen then smacks Adam Zampa back over his head for another four.

    11 from the over.

    I don't mind it. I look at the way Eoin Morgan used Adil Rashid in these overs to take wickets and the only thing that is going to help Australia from here is taking wickets.

    You could argue that it's quite brave bringing Adam Zampa on at this stage.

    Thanks Timothy.

    This has been a good effort from South Africa but these final 10 overs feel crucial. They could well decide the destiny of the game.

    Leg-spinner Adam Zampa is coming back on.

    South Africa primed to go big in these last 10 overs. Callum Matthews is here to talk you through them.

    Mitchell Starc, towel flapping out of the back of trousers as he runs into bowl, manages to escape without any major damage in the remainder of the over.

    Mitchell Starc just rolled his fingers down it but it was slightly too short and Aiden Markram loves it there.

    Not a bouncer, just back of a length, allowing him to clear that front hip and swing right through the line to clear the boundary.

    It didn't seem like the correct decision for Mitchell Starc to only bowl three overs with the new ball. He is one of the best swing bowlers in the world.

    A beleaguered looking Michell Starc is back into the attack. He perhaps, senses, he will be on the end of the onslaught to come from South Africa's explosive middle order.

    Starc's third ball is launched over the head of David Warner at deep mid-wicket by Aiden Markram as the South Africa batter picks up the length from right under his eyes.

    Wonderful figures of 2-34 from Glenn Maxwell. He conceded no boundaries at all in his 10 overs.

    These are real danger signs for Australia going into the last 10 overs. These two batters are good T20 players, then David Miller is still to come and he made his name in T20 cricket.

  19. SA 223-3published at 39 overs

    A 10th boundary-less over from Glenn Maxwell, who has finished with 2-34 off his allocation.

    If Australia had picked another secialist spinner in addition to him and Adam Zampa they'd probably be in a much stronger position here.

    They looked a spinner light in Chennai against India, and it looks like it will be the same again today.

    Josh Hazlewood is having some struggles today. South Africa are going after the short ball.
