SA 2nd Inns: 242-4 (71 ovs); Target: 282 | Scorecard

Off-spinner Lyon continues after the drinks break. Stubbs clips the first ball on the leg side for one and Markram pushes the next into the covers for another run.

Stubbs misses the reverse sweep as he gets the inside edge before he is beaten on the outside edge looking to drive it through the off-side.

Starc from the other end. He tries the short ball tactics as Stubbs misses the pull down the leg side and the same next ball. This time Australia take the review as wicketkeeper Carey looked very confident but there is nothing on the UltraEdge.

However, Starc gets his man next ball as Stubbs is bowled for eight.

This time Starc bowled length and got the ball to swing in sharply into Stubbs from round the wicket angle. Stubbs was beaten on the inside edge as the ball crashed into the stumps.

South Africa reduced to 241/4 as Australia keep their slim hopes alive.

Starc with another cracking delivery to beat new batter David Bedingham on the outside edge. He gets off the mark with a single from the last ball.
