Had to switch over from the WI/Pak match, it was too depressing. This one looks poised for a fantastic finish. South Africa need 120 to win off 14 overs with 5 wickets in hand. SA don't have much batting left in the shed, so these two will need to get them as close to the line as possible.
Steyn got tagged for 96 runs in his 10 overs - the most runs conceded in his international career. In fact, prior to today, in 113 innings, he had only once yielded more than 80 runs in his spell.

Phehlukwayo with a clear edge. Given not out by South Africa umpire Adrian Holstock. That won't please the Aussies. 94 needed off 65 balls with 4 wickets in hand. This all rests on the shoulders of David Miller.

That was some chase by South Africa. Miller was brilliant, and deservedly named man of the match, but Phehlukwayo deserves serious credit for staying with him and gutting it out. He looked all at sea early on, couldn't find the middle of his bat if his life depended on it, but stuck with it and provided some lusty blows to seal it at the end.
That's twice now South Africa have chased down monster Australian scores.
