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

An edge! But down it goes! A thin inside nick from Pat Cummins but Quinton de Kock can’t take! Is that South Africa’s last chance?

This is extraordinary stamina from Gerald Coetzee, though you fancy that Temba Bavuma would have to wrench the ball out of his hands at this stage. Pat Cummins lifts him to deep cover for a single. Into single figures.

Mitchell Starc takes a blow to the body as he tries to hook a short ball up into the stands. A full toss looks inviting but Starc is slow to react, and half-hits his shot to Kagiso Rabada at a straight, shortish mid-off. Just one from the over.

South Africa’s fielders clap their hands, urging Aiden Markram on. Pat Cummins wisely withdraws his stroke to watch a wide go by. 11 needed.

Inches away again! Oh, how many of those are South Africa going to have to deal with, another catching opportunity not quite carrying with David Miller not tight enough at short midwicket. Temba Bavuma slaps the floor in frustration.

A punch down the ground. Australia need ten. Up come the straight fielders, Bavuma and Markram tempting Mitchell Starc. The left-hander declines, his only shot in anger so far having been at the free hit in the previous over.

No ball! An attempted yorker slips out and hones in on Pat Cummins’s stomach, a turn to leg adding one more to the total and giving Mitchell Starc a chance to free the arms.

Starc fails to connect. A dot. But Australia need only 12.

The new willow works! A delightful square drive for four!

14 needed.

This is some effort from Gerald Coetzee, now into a seventh unchanged. His pace is still up, too - a short ball is fended away by Pat Cummins, breaking the Australia captain’s bat.

Coetzee goes down for some treatment on an achy calf as Cummins retrieves a new bit of willow.

Aiden Markram initially cracked things open for South Africa with the wicket of David Warner, and with his two lead spinners bowled out, Temba Bavuma goes back to his part-time offie. Australia still don’t need to hurry, their requirement down into the teens.

Just short! My, oh my! A leading edge from Mitchell Starc but safe by a foot or so as Markram gathers on the half-volley in his follow-through. I

Pitching outside leg! And, in truth, by a distance, too, the intensity and emotion perhaps just catching up with Coetzee who was practically screaming his appeal in his follow through.

That failure to overturn the on-field call means South Africa are out of reviews. New man Cummins won’t need reminding of the importance of having one in reserve in a tight contest.

And that looks close, too! Pat Cummins’s pads are smashed first ball - has it pitched in line? Umpire Richard Kettleborough doesn’t think so but South Africa do...
