47.4: Lizaad Williams to Xavier Bartlett, OUT! LBW! Lizaad Williams removes Australia's last real hope! He nails the yorker on middle, tailing in sharply and turning it into a toe-crusher. Xavier Bartlett is late getting his bat down and the ball crashes straight into his boot. There is a huge appeal, but the umpire says no. Temba Bavuma opts for the review, and UltraEdge confirms there is no bat involved. Ball Tracking then returns two reds, showing the ball going on to hit leg stump. Bartlett looks absolutely distraught as the decision is overturned, and South Africa are now just one wicket away from victory.

47.1: Lizaad Williams to Xavier Bartlett, SIX! As long as Xavier Bartlett is out there, Australia are still alive in this game. Back of a length and on off, takes pace off. Xavier Bartlett picks up the length in a trice, waits for it and whacks it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie.
