Cricket: WTC Final Oz vs SA

[sparky]

Markham looking very comfortable. A great batting performance.

50 runs needed. RSA in pole position. Definitely their game to lose now.

Stick a fork in them, they're done. Desperation review is always a sign that a team knows they're cooked.

[sparky]

Australia bringing Nathan Lyon on. Probably their last throw of the dice.

[sparky]

Lyon getting a bit more turn than yesterday. Australia bowling well, but not enough runs to defend with any confidence. RSA scoring slowly and nervously though.

Aussies just burned another review

To be fair, that one looked close.

[sparky]

Stubbs out. RSA four down. They need 41 runs.

[NTA]

And then Starc cracks it next ball

All too late, but at least semi respectable

Not sure, if the Aussies can get Markram out (and it looks a big if given how he is batting) then South Africa's demons and the new ball will come into play.

Gem of a ball by Starc to the new batsman.

Slow progress for South Africa this morning. Australia have played better in this first hour.

[NTA]

KP really is hard listening

[NTA]

Another desperate review

[NTA]

Going over IMHO

[NTA]

Didn't even get that far

[sparky]

South Africa not comfortable this morning but not collapsing either.

Hayden is worse

[sparky]

@NTA You know why he was called FIGJAM by his own team-mates?

[sparky]

Markram is in imperious batting form.

[sparky]

South Africa only need 25 runs. Nearly there.
