00:00The Australian side, who is batting first, was also announced yesterday.
00:13From a batting perspective, he hasn't done too much of that, so a little bit of relatively
00:18inexperience at the top.
00:19Timber Bavuma, Tristan Stubbs, David Beddingham and Carl Verena have been the middle order
00:23that's done them really well.
00:25Stats are good, for both the, four slips, and that's a real good tone setter from, and
00:36that's a good start, Sean Pollock it feels like good bowling conditions.
00:41Yeah, and that's coming into this game, there's no doubt Australia would come in as the favourites
00:44but.
00:45Hayden, what are you saying to yourself?
00:46You're terrified.
00:47Smile his face here, Polly, but, and as an opener, in these conditions.
00:55I know that you're going to be in for a tough time.
00:57You've got the fast bowlers that have had the chaff bag on all night, eat the hay overnight,
01:02that's what it is.
01:03And Rabada is the key, he's done it so.
01:07And the surfaces tend to get better and better through the summer.
01:16It's possible for a bowling, it's very strong, good memories of this tall, quick enough, is
01:22domestic cricket here for middle.
01:24Good, solid defence.
01:27He has the technique to be successful at the top of the order.
01:31He plays it.
01:32Cameron Green.
01:34Cool.
01:37Just shoveled really, didn't try and belt it, it will go down the slope.
01:54if you can't get rid of them because that nice drive not overhead at all
02:04will not get to the rope just to come to him playing late handling you can see
02:20the switch will quicken up
02:32gone success and the first one for South Africa a beautiful piece of bowling and
02:42they've got a prize in Khawaja that I think an excellent catch from first slip
02:46betting him he just got distracted by the move he adjusts well
02:58may have just hit the bottom of the bat first boundary and most unusual
03:06another one
03:10two in the over South Africa are on fire and Robana has removed green just like that two great slip
03:17catches and one over Smitty catching brilliant catching from the South Africans Robana on fire
03:23so many South Africans getting on a plane to you look at the clouds in the half and up lead bowler
03:29Robana has delivered for him taking the pressure off the decision as is this man and the Sun comes
03:37out be a very different length to when they're used to it like any coach take a bit of credit
03:45he's his hands he still cannot believe that over to a little bit of a counter punch to
03:52critical parts of the match stay in the same team hotel England but that's what we need to watch
04:02how consistent and there's one that beats the outside edge confidently onto the front foot he's just
04:17pushed a few for a couple of runs this time a little bit more aggressive to find the boundary
04:23in England they want you as well towards the ball finding that back into test match cricket after a bit
04:36that's the length that's the link he needs to be at
04:42to a product really enjoyed that one if one goes down early and everyone can just get a bit jittery
04:50and a bit nervous but to take two brilliant catches like they have done so far in the first 10 overs
04:55balling might look like a simple leave but it's
04:59yeah I didn't I didn't mindset with minus I was saying that I thought he was trying to leave
05:05where he's coming in to
05:09Muller into the attack what a responsibility he's got for this test match
05:16that's for yes drifting onto the pads just the start Australia would have wanted straight away
05:30after the drinks break easy pickings here for
05:32always paint with the field positioning but
05:36mentioned he's got a pair of hands up Australia can green
05:43one in there
05:46he's got it in the gap
05:51he couldn't have split the field better
05:54but he almost looked like he was going to bail out in it because you're so conscious of leg slip
06:00it was almost looked like a
06:02I'm going to play at this and then sort of look to leave it but it worked out a
06:06Sean
06:08it's a no at least a couple
06:10and it's not caring
06:13that's what we touch on and that's the reason why when it's going down the slope you have to try
06:18and get your second slip and gully to be as clothed three slips and a gully with the length that he is
06:22for South Africa they had Dane Patterson who's defective
06:25you mentioned uh
06:28Paulie's worked hard on his action well what sort of corrections
06:32OPE have
06:33that explains the ball do in general if it's a neutral
06:36it's a beautiful place to
06:38session of a test match
06:41he was saying cover comes in so they've decided to go
06:45nicely played
06:48it's in the gap as well and into the boundary
06:51first real expensive shot
06:54from Steve Smith
06:56and 41 for two off to the ball and then you play the most
07:02he's taking evasive action so he'll get four
07:08leg buys will be signaled
07:10and we saw earlier on
07:13oh he's got him
07:16the finger's gone up
07:17there you go it's South Africa getting there number three
07:22La Bouchang shaking his head
07:28yeah that's a brilliant from Jansen
07:30I was maybe asking him to come over the wicket
07:32to be coming out to bat
07:34he's facing the tool Marko Jansen
07:39in South Africa it's a good point
07:41he's got that one Travis Head
07:44you give him two opportunities
07:45he'll get one of them
07:47he is underway
07:50and the Aussies like the side of Travis Head
07:53on this mode
07:54it's 53
07:54they only take one or two
07:57goes for that
08:04gives it absolutely everything
08:07and a couple of boundaries late here in the session for Australia
08:10he said it's really a little cut
08:13little touches there down the leg side
08:16what a catch
08:17Lorraine has taken an absolute screamer
08:20and South Africa are jubilant
08:22because they have owned this first morning's play
08:25and they have caught brilliantly
08:27South Africa
08:29look at Karl Barain
08:30so so happy
08:32standing
08:32and it's paid off
08:36and Mulder's Walden Gid
08:40the morning
08:40quite honestly
08:41he was fighting hard
08:43to get better for batting
08:47as after lunch
08:48it's always really important
08:51in
08:51six overs
08:59short
09:02wide
09:03and Steve Smith
09:05absolutely belts it
09:06yeah he's got beautiful hands
09:09Smith
09:10shape
09:12and he goes with the swing
09:14at no stage
09:15did he try and keep that down
09:16it was short
09:18it was wide again
09:19but it just shaped on
09:20Steve Smith
09:21but it's that sort of movement
09:24that
09:24now that's closer
09:26that is closer
09:28still not out
09:29Marco Jansson
09:31much more interested
09:32in that one
09:33is Temba Bavuma
09:35he is
09:38there's those hands again
09:55he doesn't really move
09:56it's a beautiful drive
10:01on the up
10:01yeah we're seeing some
10:05risk cricket here
10:06the sun has now come out here
10:09at law
10:09with the slope
10:10that's true
10:13so extra grit there
10:15and Beau Webster
10:15doesn't miss out
10:16you just don't want
10:21Steve
10:21cut hard
10:25as
10:27very consistent
10:28has got
10:29about partnerships
10:31and batting and partnerships
10:32in the middle
10:32gets on the back foot
10:36and just
10:37straight pulls it
10:38down the ground
10:39short of a length
10:47and Smith
10:47so quickly
10:48into position
10:49couple of bounces
10:51so pressure on
10:53spin
10:54immediately
10:54you have to be totally honest
10:55he bowled four
10:56on the swing
10:56just going on
10:59to the legs
11:00and that's a fatal error
11:01any day of the week
11:02in any condition
11:03this is the problem
11:05for South Africa
11:05the drop off
11:07between Jansson
11:08and Rabat line
11:09otherwise that'll happen
11:12give him too much whip
11:13because he has a big
11:14stride forward
11:15not there
11:21just take a player
11:23out of that area
11:23and there's a pretty big illustration
11:26oh yes
11:29what a catch that is
11:30that is all about
11:31cool calm and reaction
11:33the big man
11:35takes a big catch
11:37and they've got the one
11:40they wanted
11:40and it's a bonus
11:41it's Markram
11:41yeah we reckon
11:42yeah we reckon he's on
11:43to change the ends
11:44for the other bowlers
11:45we look at his stats
11:46average at 80
11:46and there's a pretty
11:48hand
11:48that's a glorious shot
11:52it really is a
11:53trademark
11:55of Webster
11:56packing the offside
11:58oh
11:59inside edge
12:01and that'll run up the hill
12:02bonus runs for Webster
12:05Australia will take every crumb
12:08at the moment
12:09yeah once again
12:1025 minutes
12:13that's it
12:16his strength
12:16and it's a flashing blade
12:18from Alex Carey
12:19you give him room
12:20he's going to
12:21come after you
12:23fine shot
12:26picked up length
12:28quickly
12:28just hammers it away
12:31second bound
12:32oh that's gone through
12:35he'll get four
12:37down to third man
12:47in the gap
12:48between gully
12:48and second slip
12:50I think it will make it
12:53slower and slower
12:53I think Webster just before
12:55tee
12:55let him take you on
12:56and sweeps
12:59players will leave the field
13:02for a cup of tee
13:03and out for South Africa
13:06is that one of Steve Smith
13:07important partnership
13:08between Smith and Webster
13:09down from the nursery
13:10and crucially
13:11court run rate being maintained
13:13they've been supported
13:14a little bit of the way
13:15they're bowled
13:15in here for both Webster
13:16and Carey to sit
13:17through
13:18we need to watch
13:19it was very definitely
13:24easier for him to start
13:26Bowles in
13:27loves the sweep shot
13:28loves all types of sweep shots
13:30particularly against
13:31left arm orthodox spin
13:33it's worked for him so well
13:34in his career
13:35but not today
13:36nice batters
13:38he's played some important
13:39he's been the go-to
13:40spinner
13:40Bowles in
13:45Rubada picks up
13:48he's third
13:49he has been the man
13:50for South Africa today
13:51that is a quality delivery
13:53we've seen lots of away movement
13:54he's bowled from the nursery
13:56and he's used the slope
13:57Pat Cummins
13:57which will take place in India
14:00this September
14:01Ken Webster
14:03it's a shot he loves
14:06don't bowl that length
14:08to Bow Webster
14:09we probably haven't even seen
14:11for ten
14:12don't want Australia
14:12to get 250
14:13tickled fine
14:16there's another four
14:17big runs these
14:21for Australia
14:23and it's taken
14:27the six quarters
14:28have been on song
14:30also on song
14:31is Rubada
14:33that is his fourth
14:34he passes Alan Donald
14:36in the middle at Lord's
14:37let's rephrase that
14:38sticks around
14:39and stays injury free
14:40between a few South African
14:41people in the other
14:43home dressing room
14:44over the years
14:44we've got ten
14:45through the defences
14:48once again
14:48South Africa
14:49very quickly
14:50going through the tail
14:52of Australia
14:53he might have thought
14:54he would have come over
14:55the wicket and see
14:55if he could track
14:56doing it now
14:57and he needs to do it well
14:58I don't know
15:01how you get through that
15:02and then you have to deal
15:03it's been superb
15:05and there it is
15:09what a moment
15:10for Kegiso Rubada
15:12it's the second time
15:12on this ground
15:13at the home of cricket
15:14that he has taken five
15:16for he goes on
15:17the honours board
15:18he wraps up
15:18the Australian tail
15:20and South Africa
15:22after winning the toss
15:23and sending Australia in
15:25will be wrapped
15:27with those
15:2847 overs
15:29bold
15:30in Markham
15:31just sun shining greatly
15:35so we just heard
15:37in that interview
15:38with Graeme
15:38some batting point of view
15:39so these two
15:40definitely the chat
15:42was good enough
15:42that there is
15:43there is still enough
15:44for the bowlers
15:44the first innings
15:45that's the key
15:46the pick
15:47they're coming off
15:52a format
15:52when they introduce spin
15:54inside edge
15:58back on the stubs
15:59the shape was good
16:00the pace was up there
16:02and it's Mitchell
16:04start striking for Australia
16:05bat batting number three
16:07for the first time
16:07and Lord speed
16:09and Lord speed
16:09then
16:10fine shot
16:12punch down the ground
16:15for four
16:15probably the biggest
16:20for mine
16:21in that first session
16:22Rubado
16:22still played well
16:24again punch down the ground
16:28we've seen that once
16:29before
16:29it's a beautiful shot
16:36he's such a natural player
16:38such a good eye
16:40try and go past Australia
16:44there you go
16:47safely snappled by Kowaja
16:49and he has done it again
16:51Mitchell Stark
16:52this has been a superb spell
16:54excellent bowling again
16:56happy to go full
16:57good time to bat through
16:59he's a very
16:59straight through
17:10maybe a bit of inside edge
17:12but
17:12you just knew it was coming
17:15you sensed the pressure
17:16was building
17:17and Cummins is so good
17:19that it's posing a weakness
17:21his average is 30
17:26he's played the perfect forward defence
17:42and Hazlewood has just gone that little bit full up
17:44and it's a bail trimmer
17:47started his test match career
17:53oh now a long way across
17:58goes for four leg buys
18:03the umpire won't signal yet
18:05because he's looking
18:06high standard set
18:08goes for the magic delivery
18:12full and straight
18:13Bedingham punches it down the ground
18:15and gets off the
18:19will be back to back
18:20boundaries
18:21like London buses
18:22you wait ages for one
