Hastings to Miller, 1 run, worked off the legs to keep the strike
 

South Africa stumble again... Although they're in a pretty similar position to Australia. Who's going to hold their nerve?

 
12.5
Hastings to Miller, OUT, uh-oh spaghetti-ohs! This is an almighty mix up and someone has been run out... Looks like Wiese is trudging off. Miller had played the ball down between his legs, he didn't know exactly where it had gone, Wiese came charging through and by the time Miller tried to send him back they were both at the same end. Hastings kept calm to run down in his follow through and gently toss the ball back to the non-striker's end and complete the job

D Wiese run out 13 (11b 0x4 1x6) SR: 118.18
12.4
Hastings to Miller, 2 runs, length on off, worked wristily through square leg, into a gap and they trundle back for two
 

"'If its in the V, its in the tree. If its in the arc, its out of the park.' South Africa needs that Miller today," gurgles Avneet

 
12.3
Hastings to Wiese, 1 run, over the wicket, slower ball outside off, Wiese gets a bottom edge into the covers trying to cut
12.2
Hastings to Miller, 1 leg bye, shortish again, goes across and pulls, comes off the thigh pad to short fine leg
12.1
Hastings to Miller, FOUR, round the wicket, short ball at the body, Miller connects well with a flat pull that runs away behind square
 

Another change from Smiffy, John Hastings on
