Ball by Ball Live Score Commentary

End of Over No.45 Australia 217/9 Last Over (6 runs)
8.41pm: Stick with us for some post-match analysis and reaction from Firdose Moonda at the ground. shortly. Interested to hear Finch’s rationale for leaving Agar out, given how effective South Africa’s spinners were – combined figures of 3 for 93 in Shamsi and Maharaj’s 20 overs, as Sarat points out. Firdose’s report will magically appear here within the next few moments, but aside from that, it’s farewell from Ranjith, Alan and myself, and we’ll be back on Wednesday for the 2nd ODI at Bloemfontein as Australia look to draw level. Cheerio! Mustafa Moudi: “Australia’s middle order is paper thin without Maxwell and Handscomb. Yes Maxwell is injured right now but he wasn’t picked for India tour either sighting his form… They need to stop this blind experimentation and go back to the proven duo!” Lots of weeping and gnashing of teeth about Maxwell on this theme throughout the day, so to clarify: he was picked for both the T20I and ODI legs of this tour, but was ruled out with an elbow injury. Lungisa: “Did anyone notice that Australia didn’t hit a single six in this innings?” Saoirse: “Surely Klaasen for MOTM but let’s not forget the fine bowling from Ngidi” Yep, expect it will be. Looked a good innings at halfway, and even better with hindsight. 8.35pm So a convincing 74-run win in the end for South Africa. Australia lost their last seven wickets for just 43 runs, failing comprehensively to build on Smith and Labuschagne’s partnership. The asking rate continued to climb after the powerplay, as that pair tried to take the game deep, but both of them got out at an awkward time, leaving a tricky scenario for new batsmen on a pitch that suited pace-off options. That left Ngidi, Phehlukwayo and Shamsi to wrap things up in the back half and they duly did.
45.1	W	Nortje to Hazlewood bursts through him, 87mph/140kph, too quick for Hazlewood backing away and it pegs back the off stump! South Africa wrap up an impressive victory, going 1-0 up in a series for the fourth time this home summer… will this be the one that they turn into a series win? OUT JR Hazlewood b Nortje 1 (4m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 25.00
Anrich Nortje returns, looking to finish the job

44.6	4	Phehlukwayo to Zampa slower ball on a length, Zampa cracks this out of the middle and it lands just short of the rope at midwicket. Awesome sound off the bat! FOUR


44.5	1	Phehlukwayo to Hazlewood cutter outside off, carved cross-batted to wide mid-off 1 run


44.4	0	Phehlukwayo to Hazlewood low full toss outside off, looks to drive through the off side and flashes at thin air no run


44.3	0	Phehlukwayo to Hazlewood length outside off, Hazlewood throws the kitchen sink at it but can’t get bat on ball no run
Zampa won a game for South Australia earlier this season in improbable circumstances, but as I remember they weren’t quite as improbable as this

44.2	1	Phehlukwayo to Zampa backs away, Phehlukwayo follows him, and Zampa pushes down to long-on for a single 1 run
Josh Hazlewood is the No. 11. Not much batting pedigree.

44.1	W	Phehlukwayo to Cummins pace-off outside the off stump, slogged miles up into the air, and Verreynne takes a screamer running in from long-on! Covers acres of ground coming in off the rope towards mid-on, diving forward, no doubt about the legality this time, grabbing it an inch or two off the turf, and Cummins has to trudge off. Superb from Verreynne, his third catch of the night on ODI debut OUT PJ Cummins c Verreynne b Phehlukwayo 6 (9m 7b 1×4 0x6) SR: 85.71
AP, into his final over
End of Over No.44 Australia 211/8 Last Over (4 runs)
That’s Shamsi’s work done for the day, on a good evening for him: 2 for 45 from his 10.
43.6	1	Shamsi to Cummins shifts across to the off side, and slog sweeps to deep square 1 run


43.5	1	Shamsi to Zampa brings out the reverse, the cheeky devil, but can’t beat the fielder at point 1 run


43.4	1	Shamsi to Cummins swung hard round the corner down to long leg 1 run
Looks like ~~Jannemalan~~ Janneman Malan has pulled a hamstring fielding that in the deep… not the debut he’d have hoped for!

43.3	1	Shamsi to Zampa strays down leg, Zampa gets down to sweep and gets plenty of bat on it 1 run


43.2	0	Shamsi to Zampa struck on the pad, Shamsi belts out an appeal, Holdstock says no! No reviews left after that Phehlukwayo howler, and looked like it was sliding down regardless no run
Zampstagram at No. 10, with a leg slip in place

43.1	W	Shamsi to Short length ball, decent turn, Short runs down looking to slug him into next week, swipes at thin air and doesn’t even bother trying to get back! Miles out of his crease, punches his bat on the walk off. De Kock gathered coolly, just about nudging the bails off with as little effort as possible, and Shamsi taps his temple as if to say “I’ve got in your head, D’Arce.” Australia eight down! OUT DJM Short st †de Kock b Shamsi 18 (41m 24b 1×4 0x6) SR: 75.00
85 from 42. Shamsi into his last over.
End of Over No.43 Australia 207/7 Last Over (4 runs)

42.6	0	Phehlukwayo to Cummins cutter outside off, hacked to short midwicket on the bounce no run


42.5	4	Phehlukwayo to Cummins straight and in the slot, Cummins clears the front leg and thrashes it dead-straight down the ground! Frees the arms, mooses it over mid-on with a couple of bounces before the rope FOUR


42.4	0	Phehlukwayo to Cummins nagging line on fourth stump, worked to midwicket no run


42.3	0	Phehlukwayo to Cummins length in the channel, guided to point with an open face no run
Pat Cummins at No. 9 Peter Mario Hol: “Terrible complacency by Smith and Labuschagne between overs 10 and 25. They were both settled but failed to push the run rate. Much harder for the later guys to come in and start hitting straight away…. ” It’s that old ‘wickets in hand’ strategy… doesn’t work too well if you don’t have a finisher!

42.2	W	Phehlukwayo to Starc length outside off, Starc bottom-edges through to de Kock on the bounce who throws at the base of the stumps and runs him out! Direct hit, Starc was wandering down the pitch, unaware of where the ball was and hoping for a single, and de Kock seized upon the opportunity. South Africa closing in… OUT MA Starc run out 5 (11m 12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 41.66


42.1	0	Phehlukwayo to Starc offcutter in the channel, Starc doesn’t pick it and is through the short early no run

End of Over No.42 Australia 203/6 Last Over (3 runs)

41.6	1	Shamsi to Starc tossed up on fourth stump, toe-ended out to Miller at short cover who hurls towards the non-striker’s end and it would have been out with a direct hit, but he was off-balance, and he misses by a fair few inches 1 run


41.5	0	Shamsi to Starc clears the front leg looking to go over midwicket, but toe-ends it to short midwicket on the bounce no run


41.4	1	Shamsi to Short rocks onto the back foot and carves into the covers 1 run
“‘Looks a tall order’ – hope they don’t fall Short then,” chuckles GB

41.3	0	Shamsi to Short yorker length, Short can only dig it out back to Shamsi no run


41.2	1	Shamsi to Starc yorker length, looks to go inside-out but can only loft to long-off on the bounce 1 run


41.1	0	Shamsi to Starc turns on a length, straight to Miller at short cover, bounces up sharply off the square and smacks him in the mouth! Think he’s OK, but he’s having a fiddle with a few teeth to make sure everything is in order. no run
Shamsi, into his ninth. Slip in place. 92 off 54 balls required. Looks a tall order.
End of Over No.41 Australia 200/6 Last Over (3 runs)

40.6	1	Phehlukwayo to Starc inside-edged into the leg side, they squeeze through for one more 1 run
Prasu: “Isn’t Pat Cummins a better batsman than Starc?” Cummins has been out of sorts with the bat. Starc is usually good for a few lusty blows.

40.5	1	Phehlukwayo to Short slower-ball bouncer, waits on it and pulls to deep midwicket on the fence 1 run


40.4	1	Phehlukwayo to Starc full outside off, squeezed out to point on the bounce and they get through for a quick single 1 run


40.3	0	Phehlukwayo to Starc wide yorker, Starc clears the front leg looking to flay through extra but can’t connect no run

Pierre: “Just don’t know what took de Kock so long to put Shamsi back on.” It’s worked brilliantly, hasn’t it? Tie Australia down as the asking rate climbs, making them take on the wristspinner
40.2	0	Phehlukwayo to Starc slashes at a length ball outside off and can’t make contact no run
