6.08pm Innings break A superb finish for South Africa and that looks a really good score. Set up by the opening stand with Markram making a superb 82. Breetze and Bavuma continued their excellent ODI form with half-centuries and then Mulder finished well after they lost three wickets in six balls at the start of the last 10. Head finished with four wickets, his second-best ODI figures.
Travis Head: "Nine overs wasn't on the bingo card at the start of the day. I'll feel every bit of that tomorrow. The pitch needed it but probably 4-5 overs more than I thought I'd bowl. Looks a slow wicket so the powerplay will be important. Feels like the wind died off a bit and there was dew in the T20I the other night so hopefully that comes in."
Gnasher will be back for the start of the chase with Australia needing 297 to win.
DaWolf: "Decent score. No Tim David, no Maxwell. Labuschagne and Carey are good players but that's a lot of batting quality missing."
Punya Goel : "Is this score above par for South Africa?" Based off previous ODIs, yes
