Except if you're Steve Smith. Some taping on the left side of his neck. He's out and Inglis will start Looks like Lyon for Boland, and Green and Connolly in with Renshaw to open.

Bavuma’s nine-hour masterpiece was art we risk losing in South Africa’s Test purge | Barney Ronay

T20 franchise cricket is trash sport and killing the red-ball game is cultural vandalism. What would George Orwell have made of this?

110/6 and to still win by an innings is a hell of an effort. Cape Town's going to be tasty....

Guimarães is not a Champions League player - against this level of opponent (yet). Poor selection by Arteta. MLS should have started this game.

Jirre Australia don't want Boland to put his feet up.

Harmer's proving the selectors to be correct about picking him over Maharaj (🤪). Runs, catches and wickets. All happening.

65/6 looks kwaai (and is kwaai)...but six down is when the innings' have started in this series.

That was a very nice innings by Harmer. Just justified his selection over Maharaj with the bat 🤪

97/5....Brilliant by Australia. Bavuma has been excellent and will need to do it all tomorrow.

Marnus' miss is not such big deal then. Great grab by Renshaw. Big problems for the home team....
