Australia vs South Africa, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Series: South Africa tour of Australia, 2022-23 Venue: Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne Date & Time: Dec 26-Dec 29, 10:30 AM LOCAL

Temba Bavuma 65(144)

61.3
W
Lyon to Bavuma, out Caught by (sub)Marcus Harris!! Jeez! There are no words to describe this shot. He has ran out two partners, got himself a fifty and then throws it away. Tossed up delivery and Bavuma wanted to play the slog sweep, but all he manages is a top-edge that goes straight up and Harris moves to his right from mid-on, settles under and takes it calmly. Maybe wickets falling at the other end made him play that shot but he still had couple more mates to come. Anyway, Australia are two wickets away from sealing the series. Bavuma c (sub)Marcus Harris b Lyon 65(144) [4s-6]
