SAF 1ST

OUT! Caught. Pat Cummins to Kagiso Rabada. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, caught by Webster. 300th wicket for Pat Cummins.

It was a masterclass from the Australian bowling attack, spearheaded by Pat Cummins, who ran through the lineup with a devastating six-wicket haul. Join us shortly for the third innings.
