FAF AFTER THE MATCH:
"Always a pleasure playing against Australia and a nice, close game. We at least wanted to end with a small smile. Rassie's innings was a great example for young batters. Immy is like the heartbeat of the team and JP is the father figure of the team and we will miss them. But extremely happy that we can send greats like that with wins"

Chris Morris comes running in
Still waiting on Pretorius or Rabada, the two most economical bowlers for the Proteas today

Phehlukwayo strikes as Pat Cummins pops it high high high in the air and Duminy takes a under-pressure catch at long off
Cummins goes for 9

06 Jul 2019
Rabada has two overs and Pretorius has four overs left
I'm baffled as to why these guys aren't bowling yet at the death
06 Jul 2019
This is a horrible bowling strategy from Faf du Plessis and the Proteas.
Tahir and Shamsi are getting smashed here, I almost can't watch but I have to watch!

SIX... and then FOUR
Tahir goes for 17 off his over as Carey smashes the spinner all over Old Trafford.
Oh boy, Australia are 257/5
06 Jul 2019
Tabraiz Shamsi is now back in...
Why not let Pretorius bowl another over? He just got a wicket maiden, let him try and get Carey out or am I missing something?
