4.06pm Australia were 192 for 5 just after tea and 36 minutes later they are all out for 212. Alex Carey's dismissal was the catalyst. He and Steve Smith gifted their wickets away when both were in control. Rabada smelt blood and claimed 5 for 51 to move past Allan Donald and up to fourth on South Africa's all-time wicket-takers list. Rabada tells the broadcast it feels like a home game at Lord's. The ball definitely nipped and swung throughout. It's still not going to be easy batting this evening. Webster and Smith played very well but both were challenged throughout.
Abinash Das: "South Africa's bowling and fielding are undoubtedly world-class--but the big question looms: can their batting withstand the heat of Australia's fierce pace attack, like the fearless Proteas line-ups of the last decade once did?"
Brendan : "Five wickets in 5 and a bit overs for 20 runs - a collapse of truly English proportions. When in Rome and all thatâŠ" It's been a habit of Australia's tail in recent years

AL: "Aussies have batted poorly today. The SA bowling and fielding has been good. But the Aussie bowling line up should prove too strong for the brittle SA batting line up and could make 200 look reasonable. "
