Live cricket scores: Australia face deciding match against South Africa in Cape Town

The spinner starts with a maiden and while there wasn’t much turn, he did get a couple to straighten.

SA 0-47

We are approaching the hour mark and a wicket has not looked like falling.

It will be worth getting Lyon and early bowl against Akermann.

SA 0-41

Cummins drops short and Markram sends him into the stands.

The South African crowd are buzzing.

SA 0-31

Cummins is going to need to change the momentum here.

Markram and Akerman look very easy at the crease and nothing has worries them.

SA 0-24

Achermann spars at a ball outside off and just misses the edge.

However, it’s the first play and miss of the match.

The pitch is quite slow again.

SA 0-23

Starc is changing up the angle to Markram.

He doesn’t like over the wicket so is going to try and angle in and seam away to get the edge.

SA 0-16

Australia’s eagerness to protect their batters may have them in a touch of bother here.

They’ve bowled first on pitch that is not doing much and only has 6mm of grass which will likely be dead by tea.

Markram just got a back-of-a-length ball and he launched into the air and smashed it off the back foot through covers.

Remarkable shot and bad signs for the bowlers.

SA 0-10

Ackerman gets a chunky inside edge out to square leg and we have runs.

He also got an inside edge earlier against Hazlewood and only his pad saved him from the chop on.

SA 0-2

Starc starts the Test match with a maiden.

His lines were good and he got some swing in as well as some seam away which will be dangerous if he gets things right.

Starc starts wide of the right-hander Markram and gets some seam away which the opener leaves well alone.
