Time for Connolly to use the long handle.

Nasty blow
Jansen’s short balls have not been getting up and Connolly has ducked face first into a bouncer.
It very nearly struck the badge. He looks alright but he will go through the checks.
AUS 8-425
Stagnant
This game is a little stuck at the moment.
Connolly is farming the strike which means he is giving up runs while the Proteas are not looking very threatening.
Australia are eight away from leading by 100 so they may step things up when the lead goes into triple figures.
AUS 8-421
Jansen starts
We start the second session as we started the first, with Jansen bowling.
Connolly has made a confident start though.
AUS 8-411

Lunch
A slow scoring session for Australia but they lead by 82 with two wickets in hand after Lyon saw out the final over.
Connolly is going well with 20 from 51 but he might be given some more license to score after the break as they try and build a triple-figure lead.
The pitch is still very flat so Australia know they will have some work to do when they come out to bowl again.
AUS 8-411
Ends
Connolly has decided to take the end Coetzee is bowling from while Lyon will take the spin end unless the West Aussie can get there.
AUS 8-411
Nick and gone
Just as he was settling in Starc plays a loose drive and Coetzee has his first wicket.
It’s been a tough innings for the Portea quick but he gets just a touch of shape and Rickleton takes an easy catch.
AUS 9-402
