Simon Harmer to Mitchell Starc, DROPPED, FOUR! That was a very tough chance. Harmer drags his length and bowls it quicker through the air, on off.

He sticks out the right hand, but the ball is almost past him by then. It clips his fingertips and trickles behind into the fence.

It goes straight into the waiting hands of Aiden Markram at second slip, who gobbles it up by leaning low to his left. South Africa break the 86-run stand. Australia are now 210/7.
