49.5 Andile Phehlukwayo to Nathan Lyon

OUT! Caught. Andile Phehlukwayo to Nathan Lyon. Slower length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid wicket, by Markram. That is the game Lyon is caught in the deep, what a game it has been. After 20 overs nobody wouldv'e predicted that this game may go into the last over and that is all down to a top class innings from Dave Warner and another fantastic knock from Alex Carey who took the game to the death. Some good fielding and tight bowling in the final overs were the ultimate difference today. In the end though South Africa had just enough runs on the board to be victorious here, meaning Australia finish second behind India. The Semi-finals therefore are India vs New Zealand and Australia vs England, join us here for coverage of both next week.
