Sixth over on the trot for captain Cummins, and he’s outside the off stump and the compact Bavuma leaves well alone.
He is forward now defending, the South African number four, who desperately needs to dig in.
Three slips, a gully, a point, oh my a mixup out there as Kyle Verreynne goes half way down the pitch, is sent back, the throw from gully was to the strikers end and they’ll run a single on the overthrow. It’s all happening. Nerves, and scoreboard pressure, will do that to a team.
Verreynne clips to midwicket and they’ll run a quick single, it’ll have to be quick too as Bavuma dives to make his ground!
Solid over, the South Africans are desperately rattled, but then I guess there’s a reason for that. The Aussie quicks are running rampant.
