Jansen couldn’t hold on in the final over of the day! After six edges fell short this session, the cordon moves up. Mulder finds Starc’s edge but the lanky Jansen can’t hold on. In a game of fine margins, how costly will that be?
39th over: Australia 138-8 (Starc 14, Lyon 1) A messy over from Rabada that included three no-balls and a couple of sprays wide of the off stump. But it also included the important wicket of Carey. One more to go in the day.
Rabada with the breakthrough! Oh how South Africa needed that. What a knock from Carey. Has there ever been a more important score of 43 by an Australian? I’ll park that for another day. He’s taken the lead past 200 and helped turn the tide. But Rabada can’t be kept out of the contest and that wicket has given the Saffas a lift. Full and straight from the big pacer, he got it to jag from round the wicket, beating Carey’s drive. The Aussie keeper reviewed but DRS said it was clipping the top of leg.
