Morris to Warner, 1 leg bye
 

Mitchell Marsh the new man. Warner on strike

 
 

A fantastic innings is over. But this isn't over yet. You still have to fancy Australia. Just.

 
18.5
Morris to Maxwell, OUT, and he's gone! Doesn't connect cleanly as he swings at a length delivery, skews off the face of the bat and reaches deep cover

GJ Maxwell c de Villiers b Morris 75 (43b 7x4 3x6) SR: 174.41
18.4
Morris to Maxwell, FOUR, oh, Maxwell! We've seen it so many times, but it's still brilliant. Under pressure he was reverse swept a full delivery outside off fine of short third man
 

16 off 9 needed

 
18.3
Morris to Warner, 1 run, comes round the wicket, aiming full at the stumps, Warner smears it straight to long on
 

Zander: "SA have bowled 14 full tosses so far. It has cost them 40 runs. Absolutely pathetic!" I haven't double-checked that maths

 
18.2
Morris to Maxwell, 1 leg bye, full, angled into the pads, he doesn't make contact and it's just a leg bye towards midwicket. The tension mounts
18.1
Morris to Maxwell, no run, short of a length, swing and a miss! Dot ball
 

Two overs to go. 18 runs needed. This has been one of the great T20 partnerships. Morris to bowl, so Rabada saved for the last. Will he have anything to defend?
