SA vs AUS | Australia find their footing in final after South African onslaught with ball 

Post Lunch, Smith looked like his usual best offering very few opportunities to the South African bowlers. He was ably supported by Beau Webster, who was handed an extra life after the Proteas failed to review a straight forward LBW. Smith continued his magical run at Lords as he went past the 50-run mark for the fifth time in his last six outings at the venue. Having scored just 18 off 37 deliveries, Webster decided to join the attack in the 38th over with two boundaries in a Lungi Ngidi over. With the Aussies getting to 145/4 by the 41st over, Bavuma decided to throw the ball to Markram and it worked wonders as Smith edged one to Marco Jansen behind the wicket. Webster and Alex Carey managed to take their side into Tea with no more damage and 190 runs on the board. 

Just as it appeared the Aussies would start to get their noses ahead, they lost two wickets in as many overs to give their opponents an opportunity to fight back. And the Proteas grabbed it with both hands with two more wickets, including the important one of Webster (79), with the scoreboard reading 210/8. The last two wickets yielded just two more runs as the Aussies folded their first innings with just 212 on the board with Kagiso Rabada making the honours board with an impressive fifer.

In response, Mitch Starc came out firing scalping Markram in the very first over. Even though Mulder was given a reprieve after Carey dropped a sitter, Starc induced an error from Ryan Rickelton to leave South Africa at 19/2. Over the next six overs South Africa were only able to add four runs to the total before Pat Cummins put Mulder out of his misery by sneaking one in through the gate. Bavuma was able to instigate one of the loudest cheers of the game when he eventually got off the mark on his 31th delivery. While Stubbs also made the long walk back to the pavilion, David Bedingham scored back to back boundaries in the last over to bring an end to the day with the scoreboard reading 43/4.
