He hits the deck hard, just around off, and holds up in the surface a bit. Nathan Ellis opens up his stance and goes for the big heave across the line but only manages to get an inside edge back onto the stumps. The Proteas are one wicket away from the win.

40.3: Corbin Bosch to Adam Zampa, Fuller delivery, on off, Adam Zampa drives it towards mid off.
40.2: Corbin Bosch to Nathan Ellis, Hard length and on off, angling in, Nathan Ellis backs away and does well to get some bat on it to guide it towards deep third for a single.

39.4: Keshav Maharaj to Adam Zampa, Slows it up, full on the stumps, carefully defended by Zampa.
39.3: Keshav Maharaj to Adam Zampa, Half an appeal for LBW, but not given. Only Maharaj looks interested. Tossed up around middle and leg at 79.7 kph, and it skids on with the arm. Zampa goes for the sweep and misses, and the ball raps him on the front pad, though it is sliding down leg.

39.1: Keshav Maharaj to Adam Zampa, Full and tossed on off, drifting in, Zampa blocks it to the off side.
49.6: Jack Edwards to Bjorn Fortuin, Nope, they can't! Jack Edwards hits the deck hard, around off, Bjorn Fortuin punches it wide of extra cover. Mitchell Marsh dives to his right to save a certain boundary. Just one off the final ball. South Africa finish on 297/8!
49.5: Jack Edwards to Gerald Coetzee, OUT! COETZEE IS RUN OUT! Jack Edwards takes the pace off once again, sending this one full and well outside off. Gerald Coetzee swings hard but can't make contact, and the batters decide to steal a bye. Josh Inglis is alert to the situation, quickly gathers the ball and fires an underarm throw at the striker's end. It crashes into the stumps before the batters can even cross, and Coetzee is gone. South Africa are eight down now.
49.4: Jack Edwards to Gerald Coetzee, Dug into the surface, on middle, Gerald Coetzee tries to heave it over mid-wicket but fails to connect.
49.3: Jack Edwards to Gerald Coetzee, Swing and a miss! This is slower again, full and on off, Gerald Coetzee has a wild swing across the line but misses.
49.2: Jack Edwards to Gerald Coetzee, SIX! Oh...that is a wonderful shot! Pace off, back of a length and around off. Gerald Coetzee backs away early to free his arms and carves it over the deep extra cover fence for a biggie.
49.1: Jack Edwards to Corbin Bosch, Short of a length and on middle, Corbin Bosch pulls it to deep square leg for a single.
48.6: Nathan Ellis to Marco Jansen, OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Nathan Ellis has his third, and there is absolutely no doubt about that one. He goes full and straight, with Marco Jansen staying deep in his crease and looking to whip it across the line. He misses completely and is struck flush on the pad, right in front of middle. The appeal is instant, and so is the umpire's response as the finger goes up without hesitation. Jansen doesn't even think about a review and walks straight back. South Africa are 289/7.
48.5: Nathan Ellis to Marco Jansen, FOUR! Finds the gap! A low full toss, outside off pace on. Marco Jansen opens the bat face, uses the pace on the ball and slices it through point for a boundary. He moves to 75 and equals his highest-ever ODI score.

48.1: Nathan Ellis to Corbin Bosch, A slower one, full and around off, Corbin Bosch changes his stance for the reverse sweep but misses and gets hit on the body.
47.6: Jack Edwards to Marco Jansen, Back of a length and well outside off, takes pace off, Marco Jansen has a swipe across the line but fails to connect. He looks at the umpire but gets nothing.
47.5: Jack Edwards to Marco Jansen, A slower bumper, on middle, Marco Jansen offers no shot at it.

47.3: Jack Edwards to Corbin Bosch, Hard length and around off, Corbin Bosch punches it to sweeper cover for a single.
47.2: Jack Edwards to Marco Jansen, OUT! MATTHEW BREETZKE IS RUN OUT! A bizarre end to a brilliant innings, and perhaps the only way they were going to get Breetzke out in this game. Jack Edwards fires this one in fuller on middle, and Marco Jansen clips it towards deep mid-wicket for a single. Breetzke immediately turns and sets off for the second, but Jansen has already shouted, 'No'. There is no turning back now, though, as Breetzke is stranded halfway down the pitch. Cooper Connolly gets to the ball quickly and fires it towards the keeper's end, where Josh Inglis does the rest. Jansen walks over to his partner to apologise, but there is no undoing that. After a magnificent century, Breetzke's superb innings comes to an unfortunate end.
47.1: Jack Edwards to Matthew Breetzke, A high full toss, on middle, Matthew Breetzke crouches low and heaves it towards deep mid-wicket for one.

41.2: Keshav Maharaj to Adam Zampa, OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! Fittingly, Breetzke, the centurion, takes the catch and South Africa win by 67 runs! There are smiles all around the Proteas' camp as they have defended a total on a surface that only got better for batting. And more importantly, with a bowling unit looking thin on experience with several of their premier pacers injured. It is the arm ball from Maharaj, full and around middle, and Zampa is done in by the one that doesn't turn. He gets down on one knee for the slog sweep, but it balloons off the top edge and skews towards deep square leg. Breetzke charges in from the ropes and slides forward to gather it. Australia have been bowled out for 230. Maharaj finishes off with a spectacular four-wicket haul, and that is the end of it.
