6.15pm South Africa get to 212 (one short of the 213 of the 1999 semi-final, for those of you who like that stuff). It's more than looked likely in the first 10 overs, and it's largely thanks to one man - David Miller with a fantastic century. The pitch has a bit in it for all bowlers, but still hard to see it being enough. Australia were, largely, outstanding with the ball. Only Adam Zampa struggled. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood set the tone while Glenn Maxwell and Travis Head played a big role. South Africa have two frontline spinners plus Aiden Markram, so keep an eye on them. Alan will be with you for the start of the chase. The weather looks fine at the moment.
