Can confirm Travis Head is missing with a fractured hand. He is part of Australia's World Cup squad though so could feature later in the tournament.
Summary
Australia bowled out for 177 to lose by 134 runs - heaviest World Cup defeat by runs
Stoinis given out caught behind on review but ball appeared to flick glove that was off the bat

South Africa post 311-7 - De Kock 109 (106), Markram 56 (43); Maxwell 2-34
De Kock hits second century in as many matches
Sloppy Australia drop five catches, with Zampa also failing to get to chance

Why is Travis Head not in this Australian ODI side? Seems like he'd be perfect for their middle order in this format. I remember he's opened for them before in ODI Cricket. Is he injured?

Australia might just avoid their heaviest defeat in a World Cup here.
They need to come within 118 runs of South Africa's total of 312 so 20 more runs required.

Can’t blame poor fielding and a timid batting display on controversial decisions. No fight in this Australian side and hasn't been since Langer quit.

Ooof, where did that come from? Tabraiz Shamsi gets his final ball to viciously turn and bounce back into Pat Cummins, who is straightened up and sees the ball skip just beyond the inside edge.

We have 12 overs left in Lucknow.
Kagiso Rabada's second delivery is pinged past the fielder at mid-off for four by Pat Cummins.

Regarding the Stoinis dismissal today: as it was given out after a SA review, could AUS have then used a review of their own to review the review?

Here's how Keshav Maharaj accounted for Marnus Labuschagne from a few moments ago.
Aus 162-8published at 36.1 overs
Tabraiz Shamsi replaces Keshav Maharaj.
The left-arm wrist spinner has a little yellow towel tucked into the back of his trousers, which briefly slips out and drops on to the pitch after he follows through with the delivery stride of his first ball.
He drops it short to Adam Zampa who hauls it beyond mid-wicket for four.

Cricinfo writer on BBC Test Match SpecialI didn't think we would be here at this stage. South Africa would be unhappy to not get them out sooner, considering they were 70-6.

Pat Cummins has decided to go bottom hand and target cow corner. The Australia captain wallops back-to-back fours off Marco Jansen.
The crowd in Lucknow is thinning out now.

I can't help thinking both Australia and England have Ashes fatigue and neither have a chance of winning this World Cup.

Cricinfo writer on BBC Test Match SpecialI think this is important for South Africa because there is a sense that they let Sri Lanka bat for too long, they need to close out games with more aggression and with more incision. This will be very pleasing for them.

Labuschagne c Bavuma b Maharaj 46 (Aus 143-8)
Keshav Maharaj dangles the carrot by giving the ball a bit of air and and Marnus Labuschagne cannot resist trying to take a big bite.
The Aussie batter, eyeing a half-century, drills it straight to Temba Bavuma in a catching position at extra cover.
Eight down.

To help me decide how sorry I should feel for the Aussies, could someone let me know whether the on-field umpire is allowed to disregard the review decision?

Pat Cummins is the new batter.
Three wickets for South Africa to take to wrap this one up.
Keshav Maharaj continues.
