Abbott to Markram, out Caught by Green!! Edged and gone! The worst possible start for South Africa. After Australia’s top three all piled up centuries, their reply begins with an early setback. Abbott goes full, Markram chases the drive, but only manages a thick outside edge. Straight into the safe hands of Cameron Green at second slip - Australia strike early, and they’re off to the perfect start. Markram c Green b Abbott 2(8)
