4.45pm A fantastic innings from Aiden Markram has taken South Africa to a very strong total. They were given a super base by Temba Bavuma and Quinton de Kock, but they falter after the second drinks break and lost a lot of momentum. But Markram held his nerve and helped by Marco Jansen got things back on track. The pitch is pretty good for batting, but there's turn on offer and slower balls aren't easy. A difficult afternoon for Australia's quicks but Travis Head was excellent with 2 for 39 from 10 overs. Will be a tough ask for Australia. Markram says it's a good total but some uncertainty how the pitch will play under lights. Ekanth will be with you for the start of the chase.

Can Markram do it? It's been a super innings
