SA 124-2 (33 Ovs) & 138 vs Aus 207 & 212 | Scorecard
Lyon returns to the attack. Bavuma flicks the first ball through midwicket and comes back for a couple. He defends a couple before slamming a boundary - a fortunate edge that runs away past the keeper. Two dot balls round off the over. After 31 overs, South Africa are 119/2.
But there's worrying news for Australia: Steve Smith has suffered a compound dislocation to his right little finger while fielding in the slip cordon. He was immediately assessed by the Australian medical team at Lord's and taken to hospital for x-rays and further treatment.
A big blow to Australia's already under-pressure slip fielding setup.
Hazlewood continues from the other end, keeping things tight. Just a single comes off the over. After 32 overs, South Africa are 120/2.
Lyon continues to keep the pressure on. The batters look to rotate the strike, picking up a few singles. A tidy over again - four runs from it. After 33 overs, South Africa are 124/2, needing 158 more to win.
