    Nuzza: The Aussies are running out of luck now in Lucknow.

  2. Aus 65-4published at 15.1 overs

    Target 312

    It's streaky but Australia will take any boundary they can get at the moment.

    Kagiso Rabada finds Marnus Labuschagne's inside edge but the ball whistles past the stumps and down to fine leg for four.

  3. Aus 61-4published at 15 overs

    Target 312

    Keshav Maharaj races through another over. Just a single from it and Australia are going nowhere fast.

    Is there any way back for Australia from here?

    John C Hughes: I think it’s fair to say Steve Smith wasn’t impressed with that decision. Either that or he was doing his best impersonation of a guppy fish as he walked off!!

    Melinda Farrell: South Africa's bowlers all over Australia. They need a miracle partnership to pull this back.

  7. Aus 60-4published at 14 overs

    Target 312

    Close! Another fantastic over from Kagiso Rabada ends with Glenn Maxwell swinging and missing, and - somehow - the ball missing off stump.

    That could scarcely been closer. Rabada is flying. A world class performer at the top of his game.

    Time for drinks.

    It was all a bit strange, Steve, but we have now seen the ball-tracking the whole way through and everything looked to be in order.

    Worth mentioning that the camera angle they use for checking whether there is any bat involved - which is all we saw before the three red just appeared - is not directly behind the stumps from the other end so that may be part of why it looked to be missing leg?

    Steve Jones: How dodgy was that?! Straight to 3 reds and no ball tracking? Do we not have that at this World Cup?

  10. Aus 57-4published at 12 overs

    Target 312

    Kagiso Rabada ends a good over with a sharp bouncer than Marnus Labuschagne has to duck under.

    South Africa are well on top and Australia have it all to do if they are to avoid a second defeat in two games at this World Cup.

    I would like to see a close contest in a way. We're a week into the tournament and we haven't had a nail biter. That's what sustains a World Cup and keeps the interest.

    That was a full and quick ball from Kagiso Rabada. Australia are in real trouble now.

    Inglis b Rabada 5 (Aus 56-4)

    Bowled 'im!

    Josh Inglis has played all around a straight one from Kagiso Rabada.

    Actually, the replay shows there was a hint of movement off the seam that took the ball past the edge and clattering into off stump.

    Australia are reeling.

  14. Postpublished at 14:48 British Summer Time 12 October 2023

    It looked that way, Paul. But we have just seen the ball-tracking all the way through and it looks a lot more reasonable than it did previously.

    The shot of a bemused Marnus Labuschagne just afterwards summed up the reaction of just about everyone, though.

  16. Aus 56-3published at 11 overs

    Target 312

    Josh Inglis gets off the mark with a boundary, guiding the penultimate ball of Keshav Maharaj's over down to deep third.

    Six from the over as Australia try to rebuild and battle their way back into this match.

    Anyway, Keshav Maharaj is coming on to bowl the first over out of the powerplay.

    Thanks, Callum.

    As for that review... Well done boys, good process.

    From the front on replay it could have even hit him outside leg stump. I don't even know what to say.
