End of over 4 (5 runs) Australia 20/1 (185 runs required from 16 overs, RR: 5.00, RRR: 11.56)

SR Watson5 (9b 1x4 0x6)
SPD Smith12 (11b 2x4 0x6)
DW Steyn1-0-4-0
K Rabada2-0-6-1
3.6
Steyn to Watson, no run
3.5
Steyn to Watson, FOUR, connects well enough this time to beat mid-on, short outside off stump and Watson fetches it with the pull...still not ideally timed, but it's wide of the diving mid-on and beats deep midwicket
3.4
Steyn to Watson, no run, fuller, this follows Watson as he moves outside leg, 133kph, and thunders into the pads
 

Slip has now gone

 
3.3
Steyn to Watson, no run, he moves to the leg side against this shorter delivery and pulls to midwicket inside the circle
3.2
Steyn to Watson, no run, short of a length outside off, 134kph, cut firmly into the ground and it bounces to point...Watson will feel that was a boundary ball
 

Slip in place

 
3.1
Steyn to Smith, 1 leg bye, starts with a straight delivery which Smith aims into the leg side, the ball trickles to square leg
 

Andrew: "Why is Steyn in the side? Best bowler in South Africa's history and they don't want to give him the new ball." Here he is.
