5.51pm Well, it's a score on the board, but it's perhaps 30 runs shy of what South Africa might have been targetting with Markram and Klaasen at the crease. Australia clawed it back well at the death, with Starc's two wickets tying a bow on their fightback, but prior to that, Quinton de Kock's second century of the tournament had given South Africa a real leg-up.
Glenn Maxwell: "Different flows there, on track for 350-plus but we got wickets at crucial times. Proud of the effort. Help out there [for his spin], I tried to make them hit to the long side as much as possible. Tired of seeing Quinton make runs against us, he's a superstar, but nice to get him out. After the last couple of nights, the dew did come in, but this ground has been ripped up and relaid. Hopefully it skids on under the lights."
Shashwat will be here for the restart. See you then.
