Wide Anrich Nortje to Cameron Green. Bouncer, outside off stump ducked Leave, Left to fine leg for 5 runs. That's the winning runs brought up with five wides. Australia win by six wickets. Just a crazy game of Test cricket finishing in two days. South Africa gave the Aussies a little scare by picking up four wickets, but didn't have enough runs on the board. Australia lead the series 1-0. Travis Head is the Player of the Match for his counter-attacking 92 in the first innings. Cheers.
