Chucking Starc on the floor yesterday has cost South Africa this match.

That would seem to be the script

Decent session for SA. Wonder if Bavuma will come back out.

Lets see, I think we're coming up on the key session of the test now, whoever 'wins' this evening takes the test. I've not watched a huge amount of it but from what I've seen i think SA need to be bold because trying to dig in and eek out a win looks unlikely on this pitch, even Starc who got a decent score doing that should've been out long before he was, the drop in the slips is one of the worst I've ever seen.

Banning runners is fucking mental. Will they be happy if someone is seriously injured trying to run when they can't?

I love this innings from Markram. That's some fecking cricket right there. And Bavuma, getting a score on one leg as captain, that's real stuff right there. This is tremendous.

Tremendous session from SA. Surely they can't blow it from here?

Need to keep their heads early on and not lose a wicket quickly tomorrow...

If they don’t win this from here they are never escaping the joking tag.

Incredible batting performance from Markram and huge respect to Bavuma for sticking with him for so long on 1 leg.

On the other side Lyon bowled poorly and Australia seemed to have no plan to account for him not taking wickets.
