  1. Aus 210-7

    Need 3 runs to win

    Flicked through the leg side for four!

    Jansen's day goes from bad to worse.

  2. Aus 206-7

    Marco Jansen looks very nervous. He starts with three dots but his shoulders are drooping. He's had a tough day.

  3. Is it time for the Marco Jansen redemption arc?

    First baller with the bat, 0-27 in his first three overs, finish it with a hat-trick?

  4. Aus 206-7

    Need 7 runs to win

    Two singles end the over.

    Cummins and Starc aren't taking any risks. They'll go to the 50th over if they have to.

  5. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    A big expansive drive and one of those days when on another day which might have broken through.

  6. Aus 204-7

    Big swing and a miss from Pat Cummins! Where did that come from?

    That is very close to off stump. Aiden Markram is on his knees in disbelief.

  7. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Gerald Coetzee needs oxygen and a wheelbarrow to take him off. He's given absolutely everything.

  8. Aus 204-7

    Need 9 runs to win

    He keeps steaming in, but with no reward this time. He still has the energy to whack Mitchell Starc in the ribs, though.

    The equation for Australia is very simple. It feels a lot more tense than it should be.

    CoetzeeReuters

    Gerald Coetzee loves big moments in games. So that's why he's been thrown the ball.

  10. Aus 203-7

    Blimey, Gerald Coetzee is going to continue. He's hobbling. This is a sensational effort from the young man.

  11. Aus 203-7

    Need 10 runs to win

    Just two from another testing Markram over but Australia edge closer.

    South Africa fans have heads in hands in the crowd. Their dreams are dwindling.

  12. Aus 202-7

    Chipped in the air... and drops short of the fielder!

  13. Suspect we're going to be seeing plenty more of Gerald Coetzee.

  14. Aus 201-7

    Need 12 runs to win

    Bowled 'im!

    A bit of excitement from those who didn't realise it was a free hit, as ever.

  15. Aus 201-7

    No-ball. Free hit.

    Was it one over too many for Coetzee?

  16. Aus 199-7

    Need 14 runs to win

    And there goes the pressure.

    Wide, and Cummins slashes it away for four.

  17. Brief break in play as Coetzee goes down with cramp.

    Hardly surprising, given this is his seventh over on the trot.

  18. Aus 195-7

    CumminsReuters

    Coetzee continues and gets Cummins with a sharp bouncer that flies up off the top of the bat but lands safe! Get the fielders in!

  19. Aus 195-7

    Need 18 runs to win

    And here's Pat Cummins, just effortlessly exuding calm and composure to steer Australia closer to victory in singles.

  20. Aus 194-7

    Here's Aiden Markram.
