14.3 Ashton Agar to Lungi Ngidi
OUT! Bowled. Ashton Agar to Lungi Ngidi. Arm length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed to. Timber, that's a good old fashioned swipe by Ngidi and he gets nowhere near the ball. Agar has two in two and now fancies bagging himself his second hat-trick of the series. What a performance this has been by Australia.
14.2 Ashton Agar to Anrich Nortje
OUT! L.B.W. Ashton Agar to Anrich Nortje. Arm length ball, outside off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, hit pad to. Nortje has delusions of grandeur and attempts a reverse sweep, I'm not sure if he's ever practiced that before because he makes an awful mess of it.

OUT! Caught. Pat Cummins to David Miller. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to extra cover, by Finch. Slapped straight to the man, Miller hangs his head because he knows that the game is now pretty much gone. Finch on the other hand is over the moon, the celebrations tell you that Australia believe the series belongs to them. Cummins hasn't been at his best so far tonight but you can never keep him out of the wickets column for too long.

SIX! Pat Cummins to Dwaine Pretorius. Back of a length, outside off stump Deep in crease pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep square leg for 6 runs.
