7.40pm Marsh shakes his head as he walks off. Australia's new T20I captain dashed out of the blocks, shellacking a 22-ball half-century, but he lost some of his power and timing at the end. David also smashed a quickfire fifty as the momentum seamlessly switched from one Aussie batter to another. Here's David: "It was stick or twist when I came out to bat. Pleasing to put a good partnership with Mitch. I think we still had a good scoring opportunity and the pitch was good. It was about taking the right options and building a partnership. It's a beautiful ground to play at." Abhimanyu will be back with you for the start of SA's chase. Cheers

Ngidi to Marsh, FOUR, half-volley on off, Marsh winds up and lofts it in the air...but Jansen shells it. He runs across to his right from wide long-on, loses his shape, and shells it. But he manages to keep it in play. It comes off the ad board. Four is the result
