| 74 | OUT | Lyon to Morne Morkel, out Caught by Hastings!! That is the end of the South Africa innings and Lyon wraps it up. Tossed up delivery and bowled slower through the air just outside off, Morne Morkel cannot resist the temptation and he mistimes the lofted shot straight to Hastings at mid on. Morne Morkel c Hastings b Lyon 17(15) [4s-4] | 225/10 |
| 72.3 | FOUR | Mitchell Johnson to Morne Morkel, FOUR, BOOM! That has been butchered by Morne. Length ball in the slot outside off, Morne hammers it to the long on fence | 224/9 |
| 70.5 | FOUR | Mitchell Johnson to Morne Morkel, FOUR, hat-trick of boundaries from Morne, overpitched from Johnson outside off, Morne leans into the drive and wallops it to the deep extra cover fence | 218/9 |
| 70.4 | FOUR | Mitchell Johnson to Morne Morkel, FOUR, back of a length delivery just outside off, Morne angles the bat face and guides it to the third man fence, super start from Morne | 214/9 |
| 70.3 | FOUR | Mitchell Johnson to Morne Morkel, FOUR, short and wide delivery outside off, Morne frees his arms and crashes the cut on the up to deep point | 210/9 |
| 70.2 | OUT | Mitchell Johnson to Steyn, out Bowled!! Johnson gets into the act now. Poor judgement from Steyn. Back of a length delivery slanted across very close to the off stump, Steyn is in two minds whether to leave it or play it, he lifts the bat and the ball hits the bottom of the bat to clip the off stump. Steyn b Mitchell Johnson 2(11) | 206/9 |

| 53.1 | OUT | Peterson to Hastings, out Caught by Petersen!! Lovely catch from Petersen. The two Peters join together to mop up the last wicket. This was nicely tossed up by Peterson, invites Hastings to have a go at him, Hastings shimmies down the track, gets a lot of height but not the distance. Petersen keeps his eyes fixed on the ball, takes the catch and realises that he was stepping over the ropes, throws the ball back in play in the nick of time before stepping across the ropes, gets back and completes the catch on the second attempt. Everyone is pretty convinced about the effort as they walk off to the pavilion. Australia have been bowled out for 163. Hastings c Petersen b Peterson 32(58) [4s-4] | 163/10 |
| 51.5 | OUT | Peterson to Mitchell Johnson, out Bowled!! Beautifully bowled by Peterson, slows this one in the air, gets it to dip on Johnson, he went for the slog sweep and missed, the ball went through the gate and rattles the middle stump. Peterson has responded to the call of his skipper, he has two wickets now and Australia are down to their last pair. Mitchell Johnson b Peterson 7(22) | 162/9 |
| 49.5 | FOUR | Peterson to Hastings, FOUR, the best of the three boundaries, this was well tossed up on off, Hastings gets across and sweeps it with the turn over mid-wicket, just one bounce and over the ropes for a boundary | 161/8 |
| 49.4 | FOUR | Peterson to Hastings, FOUR, these are handy runs for Hastings, Peterson tosses this one on middle, Hastings backs away slightly, opens up the leg side and lofts it over mid-on for a boundary | 157/8 |
| 49.3 | FOUR | Peterson to Hastings, FOUR, Hastings uses the long handle to good effect, clears the left leg to one that was tossed up and heaves it over mid-on, has enough power to beat the chasing fielder to the ropes | 153/8 |
| 48.5 | OTHER | Morne Morkel to Mitchell Johnson, no run, this was short and very wide outside off, Johnson went for the upper cut over the cordon, there was a noise and the Proteas were convinced. Umpire Kettleborough said NO and the replays vindicate him. South Africa have lost a review | 149/8 |

| 111.5 | OUT | Starc to Morne Morkel, out Bowled!! Starc has cleaned up Morne here. A fast yorker that bends back in sharply, Morne hangs back but he is late in getting the bat down, the leg stump is detonated out of the ground, the target for Australia will be 632. Morne Morkel b Starc 0(2) | 569/10 |
| 111.3 | OUT | Starc to Steyn, out Caught by Wade!! Starc gets a five wicket haul. Not the best haul that he has ever taken, but he will take it. Short ball slanted across just outside off and it rears up sharply, Steyn looks to ride the bounce and upper-cut it over third man, he gets an outside edge that is snapped up by Wade, this is his first five wicket haul in Tests, a bitter-sweet moment this. Steyn c Wade b Starc 8(17) [4s-1] | 569/9 |
| 109.3 | FOUR | Starc to Steyn, FOUR, short again but wide outside off now, Steyn goes for the cut and gets enough on it to send it to the third man fence | 567/8 |
| 107.4 | OUT | Starc to de Villiers, out Caught by Wade!! Full and well outside off, de Villiers slashes hard and gets a thick edge to the keeper. End of a brilliant innings from de Villiers and he gets a warm ovation from the crowd. de Villiers c Wade b Starc 169(184) [4s-21 6s-3] | 557/8 |
| 106.5 | FOUR | Mitchell Johnson to Philander, FOUR, pitched up and well outside off, Philander swings hard and slices it well over cover for another boundary | 556/7 |
| 106 | FOUR | Starc to Philander, FOUR, Philander is just going to have some fun now. This is a full delivery that he swats just over the head of mid on to get off the mark | 549/7 |
