Narrative

Nathan Lyon appears to be stretching up and Mitch Starc is already into the attack - the veteran spinner has come into the attack. Meanwhile, Australian great David Boon has copped some cheek from the SuperSport commentators - a fan was spotted wearing an Australian one-day throwback top from 1980s. “He’s got more buttons done up than David Boon did,” quipped one of the commentators drawing several laughs. SA 1-59 from 17 overs with Markram on 28 and Bedingham on 30.
