South Africa vs Australia LIVE: World Cup result and reaction as Cummins and Starc lead Aussies to victory

Warner makes a brilliant stop to prevent van der Dussen scoring another run, that was the first over-pitched ball from Starc, and South Africa are unable to capitalise due to the excellent fielding.

But the next ball he does find the gap and will pick up two runs.

Going into the fourth over, de Kock was the only player to have scored runs off the bat and Hazlewood continued to bowl exceptionally and limit run-scoring opportunities.

van der Dussen got off the mark with an edged single to deep fine leg but it looks shaky.

Starc will bowl his second, South Africa manage to scamper through a leg bye, and there’s a wide, but runs off the bat have not been forthcoming.

Hazlewood will bowl from the other end, and South Africa need to keep wickets in hand here, there is still a chance that rain is going to play a part.

There was just a hint of bounce there, as Hazlewood went for the short ball and it jumped up at Van der Dussen’s shoulder.

That was a fantastic over from Hazlewood.

De Kock is off the mark with a single through the infield, but Buvama is being more cautious and letting some deliveries go.

Bavuma had left deliveries alone but prodded at the final ball of the over, the ball caught the edge and Inglis took the catch.

De Kock will be on strike, and Starc has the new white Kookaburra in his hand.

The national anthems are done and it’s almost time for the bell to be rung to signal the start of play, which will be rung by Ricky Ponting.

The second semi-final is about to get underway, but first a look at what happened in yesterday’s match between India and New Zealand:

Virat Kohli’s record-breaking innings might be remembered as the “stuff of dreams” but it was Mohammed Shami who bowled India to their first ODI World Cup final for 12 years, as they secured a 70-run victory over New Zealand.

Kohli added yet another entry next to his name in the history books when he recorded his 50th ODI century, eclipsing the great Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 49, as India put on what proved to be a match-winning total of 397.

Here are some photos of the players warming up:

Pat Cummins: “We would have had a bat as well, but it’s a bit gloomy out there so hopefully a bit of swing.

“Unfortunately they won the last few but I think we’re due.

“We weren’t at our best the first couple of games and we learned what we look like when we’re not at our best, but the last couple of games we’ve had no right to win and we’ve come back.”
