SportsTranscript
00:02Welcome back to Fox Cricket, the Sydney Cricket Ground.
00:04There's been a lot of activity, which is fantastic.
00:07The groundskeepers have been out there.
00:09They've replaced some turf where there were a few wet foot marks,
00:13but that's a fair indication there.
00:15Josh Hazelwood out, warming up,
00:18and maybe indicative of what's about to take place.
00:21We would expect a declaration from Pat Cummins.
00:24It's going to leave Usman Khawaja stranded on 195, not out.
00:28But, yeah, confirmation just come through
00:31that Pat Cummins has indeed declared we're going to bowl.
00:34I guess the first number that comes to mind to the two of you
00:37is a possible, should Australia bowl well
00:40and dismiss South Africa in their first innings,
00:43less than 275 allows them to possibly enforce a follow-on.
00:47Josh Hazelwood returning.
00:50His record speaks for itself, 217 test wickets.
00:55So here he comes with three slips in position.
01:05And it's been an area of interest
01:07for Australia against Dean Elgar,
01:09who's been out a couple of times
01:11trying to play the ball in front of him,
01:13down the leg side.
01:15Okay, not as much bounce here
01:17as you get at the Gabba and the MCG,
01:20but there was a little bit there.
01:23Oh, well, that's gone into the gap, but
01:27an extra bit of bounce again,
01:29and it catches Dean Elgar by surprise.
01:32South Africa have their first runs.
01:35It's a good delivery from Hazelwood,
01:38asking questions on a good length again.
01:40And, yeah, I think it bounced again,
01:42a lot more than Elgar was expecting.
01:43Lucky not to hit that straight to third slip.
01:48Again, catching the shoulder of the bat.
01:55His heart would have been in his mouth
01:56for a millisecond there.
02:00Ball rock hard and bouncing early.
02:03These have to go to hand.
02:04It didn't.
02:05And Elgar takes four.
02:06So, points victory, Josh Hazelwood.
02:08Came on here.
02:14One of two quicks selected in this game.
02:17Pat Cummins and Josh Hazelwood,
02:18so they have to make the most of this new ball.
02:27Forwards and guiding that ball.
02:29And he'll pick up first ball.
02:37Just a gentle punch down the ground.
02:41Just stops that elbow from coming through.
02:44And they're settled for a couple here.
02:49Oh, the crowd are loving Marlas Labasche.
02:55Got him!
02:56No!
02:57Has he taken it?
02:58Steve Smith isn't too short.
03:02Slip Corden congratulating him.
03:06And Dean Elgar is standing his ground.
03:08I don't think Steve Smith's very sure.
03:10It seemed like the slippers around him
03:12were quite confident.
03:13But Steve Smith was not sure whatsoever.
03:16The umpires come together.
03:20Yeah, so take that back one frame, please.
03:22Take that back.
03:23Keep it now.
03:24Keep it going forward.
03:25One frame.
03:26One frame.
03:27One frame.
03:29And freeze it there.
03:31Now, take it back one frame, please.
03:33There.
03:33Freeze that there, please.
03:34I'm ready with my decision for the big screen.
03:40Much to the amusement of the crowd.
03:44Heavily Australian-favoured crowd.
03:48But Richard Kettleborough deeming that it had been grounded.
03:53They're always so difficult because it looks like it goes in cleanly.
03:57And then he gets underneath the ball.
03:59But there's enough of the ball on the floor for Kettleborough
04:01to decide that it's a no-catch.
04:05What drama.
04:06What drama here at the SCG.
04:08Steve Smith, what an effort.
04:10He did get his fingers under the ball.
04:11But I guess what Richard Kettleborough wanted to see
04:13if he did any of the ball graze the top of the turf as well.
04:18And in his opinion, it did.
04:24Two for four of 22 balls prior to that shot from Elgar.
04:29You can see he's unsettled.
04:31And he picks up another boundary.
04:34And Dean Elgar will be feeling as though in this series
04:36he's been a bit unlucky, caught down the leg side a couple of times.
04:39And when you're struggling for runs,
04:40you just feel like you just need a little bit of luck.
04:42And maybe in that previous over,
04:44there's that little bit of luck that's just gone his way.
04:47It's still not a convincing shot, that outside off stump.
04:50Just pushing out in front of his body.
04:52Pat Cummins, he's interested.
04:57Tries it again, but just lands in front of head.
05:02It's a good option.
05:04We have seen some bounce in this surface.
05:08And very nearly,
05:11they get Dean Elgar for the third time
05:13in a similar fashion.
05:15Oh, it's a tentative shot again.
05:19Caught in between,
05:20trying to just get out of the way,
05:21trying to work it down to fine leg
05:23or play the pull shot.
05:25And he just looks tentative at the moment.
05:28It's almost like he's got to go one way or the other.
05:30He's such a fighter.
05:32Tries to occupy the crease,
05:34but he's got to get some positivity in his play too.
05:42He's quick to the ball.
05:44It's a comfortable single in the end.
05:46We're going to have a change in commentary up here.
05:51First glance,
05:52head on,
05:53I thought,
05:53oh,
05:54I just saw a replay of it.
05:55I thought,
05:56that's one of the great grabs.
05:57And then the more you put the forensics on it,
05:59the more you see a little bit of contact there.
06:02But initially,
06:04I just thought,
06:05man,
06:05what a reactionary catch.
06:06You've been sitting in the dressing room
06:08for a day and a half,
06:08watching the rainfall.
06:15Nicely controlled.
06:17Agar down there.
06:21End of the seventh over,
06:23none for Radine.
06:25Here comes Nathan Lyon.
06:28He's been looking at the release of Josh Hazlewood,
06:33which is always interesting these days
06:36because you've got your traditional on the left.
06:38That's what you normally have your new ball grip as.
06:45That's the seam,
06:46which is pronounced.
06:47Comes back in.
06:48That's wobble seam tense.
06:49They're just holding the pitch,
06:51just a fraction longer.
06:53It's the seam hits in a different direction.
06:57Don't think it would be long
06:58until Nathan Lyon,
06:59AB.
07:00He's probably one over,
07:02or maybe two overs earlier than I thought,
07:04but a good decision.
07:05Get him on nice and early
07:06while the ball's hard.
07:08Use your quick...
07:10Yes!
07:12Maybe.
07:14Change that too,
07:15if there was a change of innings
07:16if they were to get the first ten
07:17and then force a follow
07:18and you lose a couple there.
07:20Good work for Pat Cummins.
07:24You're allowed to bowl more than 59
07:25to get through your overs quickly.
07:27Yes, true.
07:41Oh, got him this time again.
07:44They've got him again.
07:46Just setting it up upstairs
07:48and they have implemented out there.
07:52Of course you've got to go round the wicket.
07:55That was a very, very good short delivery.
07:58Dean Elger's been having his troubles,
08:01but on this occasion,
08:02another ripping delivery.
08:05Great seam and catching the glove again,
08:07going down that leg side.
08:08But a very good delivery,
08:09but Dean Elger not in the best of form,
08:13obviously,
08:14and again,
08:16he's failed to really go on
08:18with anything significant.
08:20Good wicket for the Australians.
08:24And at Klassen,
08:25who was the third number three
08:27they've used in three tests in this series,
08:30only his second test match,
08:31he averages mid-40s in first-class cricket,
08:34and he is about to get a serious examination
08:37and he knows it.
08:44Hit one in the middle and...
08:45It's coming back at you.
08:47Just as straight.
08:49Nine overs, one for 22.
08:56Nine overs, one for 23.
09:00I need a chat about this.
09:02A serious chat.
09:02Alex Gehry is a believer.
09:04I'm sure he's a believer here.
09:06Nathan Lyon, not so.
09:09I'm not concerned about height at all
09:11if it's full enough
09:11and they haven't engaged anyone square of the wicket
09:14to discuss it.
09:15It's more on line.
09:28far away
09:35smithy sliding down from me
09:37real tight
09:38did it straighten it up
09:40I don't think so
09:42what was that sound

13:28bat or pad
13:29first
13:30I'm going to get you
13:31to stay with your
13:31original decision
13:32of not out
13:33stand by
13:42And just see whether it hit in line.
13:45If it hits outside line, you don't need to worry about anything else.
13:48Yep, yep, I'm with you.
13:49There must be some sequence that you've got to adhere to.
14:01Touch-up-ish.
14:02A piece of work out there by Travis Hitt.
14:06And the Australians, I think, have used this short ball to good effect.
14:09It's a two-paced pitch, uneven bounce.
14:13I just don't think South Africa, when they bowled, used it in the right way.
14:18Quite often it wasn't really banged into the pitch
14:22because I think they felt it was a slower surface and they'd get pumped.
14:26But the uneven bounce here,
14:30especially with Pat Cummins' bowling,
14:32can be exploited pretty well.
14:36And the cheat sheet said that Cyril Devere will take on the bouncer.
14:41So Pat Cummins said,
14:41there's the man at deep mid wicket, I'm going to bowl your bouncer.
14:44He took it on.
14:45There'll be more.
14:46Clarsen now.
14:48The opportunity at number three.
14:51One from the...
14:53Over one for 25.
14:55We saw the dismissal of Dean Elger.
14:56He's been out five times in the series.
14:59And he's gone a few times in a similar way.
15:01So this is to Mitchell Stark.
15:03A little glove down the leg side to Alex Carey.
15:07And Cummins, very similar dismissal to Carey.
15:10And earlier on, just short of Travis Head.
15:14And then Hazelwood with the money ball.
15:16For the third time he's been out in a similar fashion.
15:19The South African skipper.
15:20We might go out in the middle now and have a listen
15:22as Nathan Lyon is set to continue from the Paddington end.
15:53Let's go.
15:54Nice, nice.
15:56Nice, guys.
15:57Come on, lads.
16:00Come on, 2 for 20.
16:12Come on, guys.
16:29Oh, yes, Carey.
16:33Come on, lads.
16:34Come on, lads.
16:36Come on, lads.
16:37Come on, Carey.
16:38Come on, lads.
17:06Oh, yes, Eddie on it, Eddie.
17:14Nice pace, guys.
17:16Nice pace, guys.
17:17Nice pace, guys.
17:25Short a quick one from Nathan Lyon to finish the over.
17:29So that ring a one for 25.
17:31The deficit's still 450.
17:33Time for a drink.
17:34Mr. Bundenberg.
17:43Moxing off his pads.
17:44Oh, no.
17:46Had a lot of cricket, but not at number three.
17:48Only two innings at number three in domestic cricket
17:49in South Australia and South Africa for Klaassen.
17:53133 and a 23, but his 31-day international
17:57has never been at number three either.
17:58So he's in some ways been jammed into that position, Nish.
18:02Yeah, as a few of them have.
18:05I think of Rossi van der Dyssen.
18:09Tiena Stobrine obviously returning home
18:10for the birth of his child.
18:12So Klaassen gets an opportunity.
18:14Very good player of spin.
18:16Seen him a lot in limited overs cricket.
18:20Likes to be attacking.
18:22This is a completely different beast.
18:24We're here on strike.
18:26And just hearing from Hazelwood again
18:28that the pitch just settling down as such.
18:30They might not play as many tricks, Kerry.
18:32Not as much of that extra bounce.
18:35So maybe these two can just settle in a little bit more
18:38and have that confidence to be able to rotate the strike
18:42and still look to score.
18:44Because when it's not doing as much,
18:47there are runs to be had in this surface.
18:49Oh, definitely.
18:50And we're not seeing the shifting of the surface
18:52as we're seeing when the SCG starts to go.
18:57But these are elite fast bowlers,
19:01knowing the ball's softening.
19:03Midwicket coming into place.
19:08And off came out.
19:10The cover moved Brown into that area.
19:14And this is where I think South Africa
19:15weren't necessarily inventive enough
19:17when that ball got a little bit soft.
19:19I think Pat Cummins at times here
19:21is going to have to create those opportunities
19:25through funky fields.
19:29Not as much pace in the wicket.
19:31So whether it's a case of
19:33that massive gap on the offside,
19:35get him trying to drive through there, Avia.
19:38It's brought in that man at short midwicket,
19:40whether it's a case of,
19:42OK, I'm going to bowl outside in the channel
19:44and then maybe one on the stumps and a slower ball.
19:52That's a good point.
19:54But you sense sometimes two balls to go in this over.
19:56The bumper is coming,
19:58knowing that Avia has watched a couple
20:01go outside off stump.
20:03The man, as you say, is at short midwicket.
20:04There's a catching deep midwicket
20:06and fine leg is rather square.
20:09So Sarajevo likes to have the come at the short ball.
20:14That's the man waiting
20:16if he doesn't control it.
20:18See what Captain Pat has.
20:24He chooses to accept the opportunity
20:27to drive through cover and does it well.
20:32Big, long slide.
20:33He set himself for about three metres back.
20:39I think he felt it was going to allow him
20:41to slide a little bit more than it did.
20:43Pulled up a tough short.
20:44Sam-based outfield here at the SCG.
20:49If that was a springboard dive,
20:51he'd have hit the board before the water.
20:54Greg Lagana style, Kerry.
20:57Quite get the amount of traction he was after.
21:01But commitment.
21:03He's been brilliant in the field all summer.
21:05Affected runouts, Kerry.
21:06He's been right on it.
21:13We saw in the big break, guys,
21:15how trained he is for this sort of cricket.
21:17Athletic chasing of the ball.
21:20Body weight.
21:23Almost as good as your six-putt, Kerry.
21:28Well defended.
21:31That's the end of the over.
21:32Probably a good time for the end of the over to come.
21:34Point of 29 from 15.
21:42Lap round the corner.
21:44Get him off, get him off!
21:46Get him off!
21:49Let's get a real hustle on that.
21:51South Africans.
21:53Yeah, that, I reckon, is the best spot
21:55in the entire SCG.
21:56Outstanding.
21:58You champagne kind of person, aren't you?
22:00Howie.
22:01It's not really me.
22:02It's more new fancy types
22:04from London, Eshan, that is.
22:13And he's got two men set back
22:14on the leg side for that short one,
22:16but I actually think mid-wicket's in play as well
22:18because of the uneven bounce
22:20and the two-paced nature of this surface.
22:23So, following to his plans here,
22:25Pat Cummins,
22:26as we expect him to do.
22:35Nicely stroked away by Erdivir.
22:37His second boundary.
22:43It's a very good square.
22:44They'll get players here
22:45in South Africa's interest,
22:47Erdivir and Klaassen.
22:48This time Lyon just a short side.
22:51Strong area.
22:52Hot zone for Sorrel Erdivir.
22:54Easily.
22:54That's a good cricket shot from him.
22:58Stable base at contact.
23:00Played it in the ground from the outset.
23:02Good four.
23:19Beautiful bit of bowling, this.
23:22Conceded the four.
23:23Erdivir may have thought,
23:24I've got my boundary this over.
23:26Let him go.
23:27The danger ball is at the fifth stump.
23:29This may have started fifth stump,
23:30but it ended up on the third stump.
23:34Brilliant bit of bowling.
23:35Kiss the off stump.
23:37Erdivir surprised.
23:38He thought,
23:38this is by best method.
23:40Let danger ball go.
23:41Not if it's that close.
23:42Lyon has another lefty.
23:44And Sorrel Erdivir again.
23:47Succumbs.
23:49Got a bit of a start.
23:51Couldn't.
23:52Saw off Cummins and Hazelwood.
23:54Lyon does the trick.
23:56Second South African wicket down.
23:58Erdivir gone for 18.
24:00He's got a bit of a start.
24:04Max Carey likes it.
24:05Pat Cummins likes it.
24:06The umpire likes it.
24:08Clarsen now goes.
24:09Second man caught behind.
24:11Down the leg side.
24:12South Africa have now got real problems at 3.37.
24:17Pat Cummins bowls uncomfortable balls.
24:20And again, it's not classic,
24:23but it's pragmatic.
24:25Straight at Heinrich Clarsen.
24:28Not quite in a position to deflect.
24:31It climbed on him.
24:32It gloved him.
24:33Cummins knew.
24:34And from the off,
24:35he had his man.
24:37Carey did the rest.
24:38The third is down inside the 19.
24:40The new number three is also gone.
24:43Clarsen out for two.
24:44Three for 37.
24:48That's a shot.
24:51Anything remotely loose.
24:54Take it on.
24:55You've got to show a bit of positivity, huh?
24:58So they've thought about that.
24:59Now you've seen two dismissals with short pitch deliveries.
25:02And that was the ones that worried even Steve Smith,
25:04and then spin-wise,
25:06South Africa were operating at 81 and 86 miles or kilometers per hour.
25:11Nathan Lyons straight away.
25:12Look at his average.
25:1391.
25:17Macca's match summary.
25:19Fourth of 475.
25:21Remembering, of course,
25:22Pat Cummins earlier today
25:23had his hand forced by Clement Weather.
25:26He really did have to move the game along,
25:28so he declared on Gwaja at 195, not out.
25:44Can we see that?
26:04Down to part of the bat.
26:05Nathan Lyons very interested in.
26:10Yeah, this is the first ball of the open.
26:11Interesting watching Zondo.
26:12He's trying to bat outside off stump
26:14and with a really wide stance.
26:16And that's so he's into position quite early
26:18to play that sweep shot.
26:19So it looks like it's going to be a tactic of Zondo's
26:22to play square of the week and sweep.
26:23Look how far across his stumps is and how open he is.
26:27He really wants to cover off stump
26:29as much as he possibly can
26:30and keep that front foot
26:32or that front leg out of the way.
26:35Looks like he's setting up to try
26:37and play the sweep shot
26:38to anything that's quite full.
26:46It's coming to me.
26:47It's coming to me.
26:50Boys.
26:58David Warner thinks it's coming to him.
27:00Leg slip.
27:11That's the bonus for South Africa.
27:13With so many men around the bat,
27:14there's plenty of gaps in the field.
27:16So as a batsman,
27:18you don't want to get stuck at one end.
27:19So find your areas
27:21where there's a few singles
27:21and there's certainly one for Zondo.
27:23Zondo, sorry,
27:24in that little area
27:25just in towards cover.
27:26Same with Pavuma.
27:34That is three for 44.
27:38Oh, that was a free beat.
27:41Bit of a nervous one
27:42that he held on to
27:43for a fraction too long.
27:45In the white ball game,
27:46you've got that sweeper out
27:47so you get the way
27:48with the first one.
27:49But he hasn't played since 2017
27:51in the Test Arena
27:52so he'll be still nervous
27:54almost feeling like it's
27:57almost a second debut.
28:04Well, South Africa
28:05have to be relatively positive here.
28:09They do not want him to settle.
28:14Can't let him get away
28:15with mistakes.
28:16Let him bowl himself
28:17into confidence.
28:19Have to be proactive
28:20even at three for 46.
28:22Even trying to save a Test match.
28:47That is an opportunity,
28:50It did really quite excite some Australians around the bat in particular.
28:56It was 96.
28:58It was quick.
29:00He did seize on to it.
29:02You're only going to get out there if it ricochets off Lavashane and goes to someone else.
29:09It was noticeably quicker and he was up to it.
29:13The short pitch delivery from South Africans, the Australians were on too quickly because of the nature of the speed.
29:17It's 86.
29:18It just sits up there.
29:19That one, 96.
29:20It gets on to you quicker.
29:22Oh, yes.
29:25Yes, yes, Nate.
29:28Shoulder.
29:28Get the shoulder.
29:48Got him.
29:49He got him.
29:50He got a little bit of length that he liked.
29:53And a pace that he liked and he dealt to it.
29:56Good signs.
29:57Great shot from Pavuma.
29:58Because he's quite short, he can pick up the shorter ball from Nathan Lyon really quickly.
30:04Got into position early.
30:05Great contact in front of square.
30:06Yeah.
30:08Yeah, that's a really good counterpunch, that.
30:14Another man who can get a big stride and try and nullify things through getting onto the front foot and
30:19caressing it through the cover.
30:20So he's always looking for that shorter delivery.
30:27That's six from the over.
30:29Three for 55.
30:34Rotate the strike.
30:45And that's a good shot.
30:52You get the feeling also if you watch some of the throws that are coming back in, the Australians will
30:56be conscious of maybe trying to get this ball to reverse swing on it.
30:59On the surface, when it gets as slow as it does for the seamers, they often have to bowl that
31:04fuller length and you want some kind of tail.
31:07So it'll be a process of working on it for now.
31:15It is over.
31:17Three for 57.
31:20You know, there wasn't a lot of diving or histrionics like you outfielders have.
31:23Yeah!
31:26Still the last there.
31:27Not so much from Nathan Lyon, but just a food for thought.
31:32I thought that if I look at the whole context of the Kerry catch, and he took two standing up,
31:40of what was trying to be achieved and what was achieved.
31:44I'll go Alex Kerry.
31:45Catch number one that he took up to the stumps.
31:47Yeah.
31:47Juggled, but still great.
31:49Off Michael Neisser.
31:51This was just a little bit wider from Nathan Lyon.
31:55Catching that rough.
31:56I just wonder if it caught a bit of glove on the way out.
31:58No, Minus was convinced he was shouting at Travis Head.
32:01Catch it.
32:03Catch it.
32:06Got him a mark.
32:07Yes.
32:07A repeat dose, and I think he's got this one better.
32:13Yes.
32:14That's his 7-6 in test cricket now.
32:16Folly two in the one innings.
32:17He's hitting new hearts, and that was even further, but this is what he's looking for.
32:21This is definitely the shot.
32:22He's worked on his game plan, sat there thinking, how can I counterpunch something that's dragged down?
32:27I can rock back quickly and look to go up and over, and twice now he's executed it perfectly.
32:36Not far from being a decent ball, so that's a very good cricket shot.
32:41A lot of players would push forward to that, taller players.
32:46Looking both players to play predominantly off the back foot.
32:50That is 3 for 63.
32:54That is 3 for 63.
32:55He does play that line.
33:05That is 3 for 63.
33:06He does play that line.
33:07And some nice placement to boot.
33:13Once again, using the ability to get back in the crease, punch it off the back foot.
33:18Strength of Bovoomis.
33:32Runs too.
33:33A nice shot.
33:34It did bounce, but it'll beat David Warner into the cover boundary in the last 10 minutes or so.
33:39To win!
33:405, 2.
33:411.
33:432.
33:432.
33:453.
33:483.
33:523.
33:563.
34:003.
34:012.
34:083.
34:09Australians asked many, many questions, kept hitting the right areas, giving South Africa
34:14nothing to get away, and then not long after that, that similar kind of delivery gets for
34:20Dean Elgos, short pitch delivery in at the throat region, on the leg side, he wasn't
34:25able to deal with it, clapped it through, and a good take in the end by Kerry, leaping
34:29hard, that was the initial breakthrough, the second one to four, all sliding on badly
34:35by Irvi, you can see as he plants that front foot, we can still see the whole of the off
34:39stump, and with a little bit of drift, just clips the outside edge, would have been an
34:43umpire's call, but good enough to knock over the stump, and in class, and into the test
34:47time, or as a replacement, was there for 22 deliveries, but clubbing this one down, quality
34:55short pitch delivery, Tim Bavuma, he's tried to fight back, he's picked up a few sixes,
35:00and a couple of boundaries to end the session, a little bit of positivity for the South Africans,
35:05on this partnership, as Smithy mentioned, 34 of 76 deliveries, takes him to the tee break,
35:12with the last shot of the session, punched off the back foot for four, makes him three
35:19for 71.
35:23Macca's match summary, four for 475, so a long way to go, but some nice fight from
35:28South Africa, to end the session, at 3 for 71.
35:35Good afternoon to Ishigura and Sean Pollock, that was an entertaining enough little session,
35:40given the frustrating time that we had to wait for it.
35:42The final session, day four.
35:51Confidence stroke to start proceedings, there's a sweeper out there, Nathan Lyon, the chase
35:55is on for him.
35:59Come back for a third.
36:00I wonder if it might be a change of ends, potentially, Travis said, coming into the attack.
36:05He had two bowlers in operation.
36:16The footmarks will be of interest.
36:19What about the breeze issue out there in the tee break?
36:21Was there any discernible direction?
36:23Was it just swirling around?
36:25Not really at all, to be honest.
36:27It does look like the breeze has just picked up a bit with the flags, but...
36:36Whether it's Nathan Lyon wanting to just switch ends, potentially.
36:47Quite a productive start for the South Africans.
36:51Happy to accept a bit of width and a few balls over pitched.
36:543 for 77.
37:10It was a world record trim, wasn't it, that first game?
37:13Highest score by number 11.
37:15Trent Bridge.
37:19Too short there.
37:20They're hanging deep, aren't they?
37:21They're not all that keen to get forward.
37:24To either of the spinners, unless they're really over pitched.
37:29Popping crease.
37:42Popping crease.
37:45Goal! Goal!
37:46Not very sure it does well.
37:48Very well.
37:48To keep it to one.
37:52Oh!
37:55Might get a couple here.
37:57Hazel would pick up.
38:01Two from the over.
38:03Punch it goes to 47.
38:05That's 3 for 84.
38:08Oh, that pad just flies wide.
38:10So, he has gone through the gears nicely now.
38:14Looks like he's got the rhythm up.
38:19Big edge score.
38:21Hazelwood.
38:22Ruthless.
38:23What a return.
38:26Perfection from Hazelwood.
38:27He just continues to produce.
38:29The partnership's broken.
38:32Australia can start to believe again in the first innings here.
38:35Yeah, brilliant.
38:36A bit of bowling here from Hazelwood.
38:38Last over.
38:38Timber Bavuma would have watched from the other side and seen the tail.
38:41You can see the shiny side.
38:43It's on the inside.
38:44Trying to get it to reverse.
38:45But I think it's just a little bit of extra bounce on the perfect length that does for Timber Bavuma.
38:50He fends outside there.
38:52And all of a sudden, it's the outside edge and the partnership that was brewing.
38:56Well, that's done and dusted.
38:59Bavuma, he played well for his 35, but it's another wicket down for South Africa.
39:03A four for 85.
39:15Picked up.
39:16And hit hard.
39:23And sixth and eighth in line has conceded today.
39:27Well, it's obviously tech is that as soon as you get that shortish delivery,
39:31you're going up and under.
39:33Don't worry about fielders.
39:35You know, it's only a 60 plus metre hit to get it over that boundary.
39:43Oh, wow.
39:49Just for one second, I think the Australians thought Renshaw had a crack at this.
39:54He's a big man.
39:58Just lining it up.
40:04Just enough.
40:05Just enough.
40:07Just enough.
40:08As you say, Alan, he's hiding the ball there and changes at the last moment.
40:11Yeah!
40:11Ash!
40:12Agar, a very good fielder.
40:15He very wary on Ash Agar.
40:18Direct hit there, as Ashton says.
40:20Oh, that was close.
40:21Yes!
40:22Keep that rolling through, please.
40:24Keep it rolling through, please.
40:25Keep it rolling through, please.
40:26Back, grounded, behind the line.
40:28Ready with my decision for the big screen.
40:36Direct hit.
40:37Yeah.
40:38That's as simple as that.
40:39Direct hit.
40:39He's out.
40:40But, yeah, it was always going to be a tight single.
40:45Nicely paid by it.
40:45Morena strokes it nicely through the covers.
40:53He's very aggressive, this fella.
40:55He doesn't die wondering.
40:57He plays his shots, regardless of the situation.
40:59And this is a good one.
41:01He's just walked the crease and punched it through the offside.
41:07Nice and steady at the crease.
41:10Striking 62 in the series.
41:12Strike rate before this innings.
41:13The best of the South Africans.
41:17It's good balance.
41:19There's an element of risk, obviously.
41:21But very good balance.
41:28It's on top of that.
41:29Hits a pretty square.
41:33100 comes up.
41:35South Africa.
41:41Likes to scoop it up and under again, Zondo.
41:43He's a powerful man.
41:46Another six.
41:54Anything slightly dragged down.
41:56Put down to the back foot.
41:58And prepared to just lift it over the infield.
42:00Because it hit it probably, what?
42:0360, 70% of max.
42:06And you're going to get it over that boundary rope.
42:10Short, gloved and wide.
42:11We've already seen a couple of dismissals that way.
42:13It gets away.
42:15And down to the rope.
42:23Yeah, yeah.
42:30Don't say that.
42:31Well, the lights are on.
42:33All right.
42:35Not dark enough for Zondo to miss that one.
42:39There he is.
42:40Punish that to the boundary.
42:48Down.
42:49It was a tough one.
42:50imoto's hard for the next shot.
42:50Ashton Agar had to time his jump perfectly.
42:58I wonder how close it was.
42:594, 421.
43:01Well, here's the man you want.
43:03A tall, lefthanded,
43:04natural catch of the ball.
43:06That was the first one,
43:08Matt Ryan Shaw.
43:09Just felt short of him.
43:11Good work to dive forward.
43:14And then, the next ball,
43:15Verena, as he likes to do,
43:16gets back in the crease.
43:19Yeah, it's a good effort,
43:20Good effort, either stick or they don't, those ones.
43:22Didn't quite stick enough for Agar and Lyon.
43:40Front toe lining up.
43:42A lot of pronounced movement over to the offside.
43:45Just gets into that side-on position.
43:48And he tries to stay open so he doesn't commit too far across
43:51with that left leg to the offside.
43:56It's worth a try always from Pat Cummins,
43:59especially on this pitch for the unevenness
44:02and the two-paced nature of it.
44:04I just wonder if it's worth getting a leg gully in position.
44:08Remember he had that inspired spell in Melbourne against India
44:10where they kept getting caught at leg gully
44:12off these sort of deliveries,
44:14getting gloved and half-hooking.
44:17As Junior said, on an uneven surface issue,
44:20I think it's a very valid field position.
44:22He could probably give away the cover, couldn't he?
44:23Just have his mid off a little wider.
44:27He's going to attack the stumps.
44:29If it's really full, you need to get it on the half volley,
44:32the smother, the possible turn out of the rough.
44:35That's a good shot.
44:36Really good shot.
44:37Reverse sweep for Verena.
44:49It's a trademark shot for him.
44:52So good square of the wicket, both sides.
44:54Behind point, behind square leg.
44:56Hot zone for Kyle Verena.
44:59Line will be aware of that.
45:00He won't be displeased with the shot.
45:05Oh, it's a beauty.
45:07The perfect set-up.
45:09The short one and then the full one.
45:12Pat Cummins.
45:14What a star he is.
45:16That's good bowling.
45:17Good bowling.
45:18Zondo's right for looking for the short one.
45:21Pat Cummins fires it in full.
45:23Looks mighty close to the naked eye.
45:25It's been given a course,
45:26so it's only got a pitch in line and clip.
45:31Yeah, thank you.
45:32There's no bat involved.
45:33We'll go to ball tracking when ready, please.
45:47Gaff pitching in line, impacting line and hitting the wicket.
45:50She can save your original decision of out.
45:53You're on screen, signal now.
45:57Australia and the skipper utilising all their skills
46:01to bring about South Africa's downfall.
46:03Five down now and in a world of trouble.
46:07I'm not sure what Zondo's looking around for.
46:09He thinks he's not out,
46:10so I'm not sure whether he thought he hit it or not.
46:14But pitched in line, hitting in line,
46:16hitting the stumps, looked out to me,
46:19and it's given out.
46:20That's what Zondo was looking at his partner
46:23as he walked off.
46:24I think they're both musing about the light somehow.
46:27They didn't quite pick it up.
46:30And I feel he and Verena feels they shouldn't be out there.
46:34But he's gone for 39,
46:36and the fifth is down at 130.
46:41And again, back coming strikes.
46:47Given not out.
46:50Was there bat involved?
46:52Because it looked in line.
46:54Yeah, I think it might have been more leg side
46:56than the previous one.
46:58Just a tad more,
47:00maybe pitching outside
47:02or just clipping it the best.
47:06Time ticking away.
47:07He's decided not to review
47:09at the end of the over.
47:12And just having a quick look at the replay.
47:15He thinks he made the right decision there, Pat Cummins.
47:17Let's have a look here.
47:19Close.
47:20I think he's pitching outside.
47:26Verena's going to continue to play his shot.
47:38In the air.
47:39And that's safely.
47:41It really could have gone anywhere.
47:43Pat Cummins.
47:46Right on top at the moment.
47:48At the centre of the SCG.
47:51Oh, no shot.
47:53What's the result?
47:55No, it wasn't coming back far enough.
47:57I think that's what Paul Reifel would be thinking.
48:03OK, clearly no bats involved.
48:05We'll just go to ball tracking when ready, please.
48:09That's a fair assumption about the bat.
48:15It's pitching outside off.
48:16Impact outside off.
48:17But no shot.
48:18And wickets is umpire's call.
48:20Paul, you can stay with your original decision
48:22of knots out.
48:26Review retained.
48:28Verena again.
48:30Edged and taken by Smith.
48:32You knew he was coming, Pat Cummins.
48:35You just knew he was coming.
48:38Well, Gilly, you called it.
48:39It's the change of angle.
48:40He came back over the wicket.
48:42Got the ball in a great area.
48:44Did it just leave Verena?
48:45Just a touch.
48:47Catching the outside edge.
48:48And Steve Smith, well, he's safe as houses.
48:52It's a good ball.
48:55Australia have their sixth.
49:03Not only are we watching one of the great athletes,
49:06think of the finest thoroughbreds,
49:08the great decathletes of the world.
49:09You're watching one that does it all on a cricket field,
49:13but one of the smartest cricketers, too, Pat Cummins.
49:15He knows how to work over an opponent.
49:18He does it beautifully.
49:19Such a joy to watch.
49:22Verena goes.
49:23Six for 137.
49:25Extraordinary to watch.
49:26The stamina that he has.
49:27The hunger to succeed.
49:30Here he comes again to Harmer.
49:31Final ball of the over.
49:34Edged around the corner.
49:36A dive of despair.
49:38Another wonderful over by the captain of Australia.
49:42The wicket.
49:44And four from it.
49:47It's fallen beautifully driven down the ground.
49:50Really well played by Marco Jansen.
49:52He got on the front foot and just punched it.
49:56Nice batting from Jansen.
49:58He waited for the full one.
49:59Hicked down the ground nicely.
50:01Full face of that.
50:01That's the second off drive he's played that's looked confident.
50:05Not sure he's going to get too many more in that sort of area of the pitch.
50:16Didn't matter in his mind which balance they went with.
50:19Whether it was Boland or Morris.
50:21They went with Hazelwood.
50:23And obviously the captain was going to be there.
50:25And they are combining beautifully.
50:27Six for 143.
50:32Swinging Yorker.
50:34He's whipped away through mid-wicket.
50:35Nicely played by Harmer.
50:36Times it really well.
50:38He'll get it to the rope.
50:40Yeah, that's a really good shot.
50:43Hazelwood, he was looking for the LBW shout.
50:45He did go fuller, Gilly, as you mentioned.
50:48Late swing back in.
50:51But that's a lovely shot off his pad.
50:53Yeah, it's a good timing.
50:54This outfield's a little bit slow because of all the rain.
51:03We've shown off it again.
51:07Marnas is always certain of everything.
51:09He hit his pad and his leg stumped.
51:11He hit his pad and his leg stumped.
51:12How is it there?
51:15Hit his pad, hit his leg.
51:24Through the legs.
51:32Frustration for Lyon.
51:34Marnas is still up.
51:36They get through South Africa.
51:38One over to go.
51:40Loves, loves his job, that man there.
51:43Six for 147.
51:49One thing that's in South Africa's favour is the pitch.
51:53So, yes, it's deteriorating, but because we've had so much rain,
51:56it's not like a typical SCG day five pitch.
52:00It's probably, what, a two and a half, maybe day three?
52:04From the Paddington end, fielders around the back.
52:08Australia have knocked over six South Africans.
52:11Can they steal one more on the last ball of the day's play?
52:14Hazelwood to Harmer.
52:16And he defends stoutly.
52:18Well played.
52:19Time.
52:20And a good effort between Janssen and Harmer to prevent any further damage.
52:25The deficit, 326.
52:28Six for 149.
52:30Hazelwood, two for 29.
52:32Cummins, three for 29.
52:34Lyon, one for 65.
52:35Australia needing 14 wickets tomorrow.
52:38Yeah, they've been very impressive, Australia, once again.
52:41They've come out hard.
52:43They've really attacked the South Africans.
52:44They've been very disciplined with the ball.
52:46The ball looked dangerous.
52:48The South Africans are fighting hard.
52:51Harmer and Janssen got through the last, I think, probably six or seven overs.
52:55Probably half an hour's worth of play there.
52:58Six for 149.
53:00Yeah, frustrating couple of days for everyone involved.
53:03And the Australians, well, they had some nice batting conditions early.
53:08Usman Khawaja parked on 195.
53:11But Pat Cummins did the right thing in pursuit of victory.
53:14And I think everyone in that group will support his decision, even Usman.
53:18We're back.
53:23This is Mel Rial martham.
53:23This is Mel Rial martham.
53:23We're back.
53:24We're back.
53:24Statistics Стен are good.
