Just need to settle. I feel like one wicket here could blow this right open. 95 runs does still feel like a fair bit.

and they've dropped like 3 catches ... spinners bowling absolutely brilliantly though. Feel Marnus and go will ride it out though for the next 5 then cash in after

Fielding has really been the difference here. SA's **** up in the PP was just as much the scoreboard pressure from the quality infielding in that portion of the game as the quality bowling from starc and haze. None of the chances SA have dropped have been easy, but you really need to take a few of those 4 in a low defence like this.

Writing is on the wall

Small total & Smith/Marnus are very selfish

They will either drag this game out for what will ultimately look like a comfortable win on paper or bat us into trouble

How on earth can they "bat us into trouble". They could dead bat the next ten overs and it would probably still be perfectly in hand

That’s good batting. Got a loose one and put it away.

Problem for SA here is reflected in Shamsi’s figures. He’s bowled beautifully but still going at fives. I’d really think about bringing up everyone except backward square, put two blokes around the bat and ask him to bowl them out
