Smith makes another change, James Faulkner on, returning from injury

7.1
Faulkner to du Plessis, 1 run, length outside off, du Plessis stays in the crease and swats through point
7.2
Faulkner to de Kock, no run, slower ball, out the back of the hand and this deceives de Kock, who plays and misses
7.3
Faulkner to de Kock, no run, length ball outside off, drops back and dabs to backward point... and Marsh's throw isn't far from catching out de Kock as he scrambled back to his crease
7.4
Faulkner to de Kock, 1 run, another legbreak from Faulkner, steered through point to the sweeper
7.5
Faulkner to du Plessis, 1 run, on the stumps and punched down the ground
7.6
Faulkner to de Kock, OUT, bowled him, de Kock is chopped down! Looked like he played around a full toss but Faulkner is happy either way... It was full and straight, he tried to clip to leg and got an inside edge on to his stumps

"Just tuned in. Please tell me the pitch is flat, don't wanna see Australia lose again." It is quite pleasant for batting, Taha. I can't comment on the latter part
