Miller b Starc 17 (SA 311-7)
Superb bowling.
Full from Mitchell Starc and it goes under the bat of David Miller and crashes into leg stump.
This is vintage Starc. He's got 52 World Cup wickets now.

Jansen c Warner b Starc 26 (SA 310-6)
Australia have caught the ball. I repeat, Australia have caught the ball.
Marco Jansen tries to go big but slices it straight up in the air. David Warner settles himself and takes a simple catch at mid-on.
Having dropped two in the previous over, and five across the innings (maybe six if you're being harsh) Australia have finally held on.
Warner looks furious to be honest.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt's not something you would ever think of an Australian cricket team: dropped catches, sloppy fielding and poor body language.
They realise that this surface doesn't look that easy to score runs on and this looks a good total for South Africa.

Here we go!
David Miller isn't going to miss out on being given a life.
Pat Cummins goes into the pitch and pulls over mid-wicket for six.
Lovely hit.

Another one goes down!
Marco Jansen skies a drive and Marcus Stoinis should take a simple catch in the covers, but it spills out.
It was a steepler but they should be taken.

Oh, Mitchell Starc!
David Miller takes on the short ball, but ends up top-edging the pull shot.
Starc comes in from fine leg, gets both hands on it, but the ball is just sticking in the fingers until his elbows hit the ground.
It pops out and Miller takes a single.

Time to hit Cummins one more time.
Maybe six more times.
The Australia captain will bowl the penultimate over.

Scot Munroe: Great work from Geoff Lemon to get a Britney Spears lyric into his commentary on BBC Test Match Special.

Four more.
Full from Mitchell Starc and Marco Jansen slices it to the point boundary.
Jansen looks to scoop the final ball but misses. Interestingly no wide call, despite the ball going past leg stump.

Angled across him but he's still baseballed it out of here.
