Australia vs South Africa, ICC World Cup 2019 Match at Manchester, Highlights: As It Happened

OUT! Lyon is caught by Markram off Phehlukwayo's bowling and that is the end of the match. Australia will finish the group stage in second place, meaning they will take on England and India will face New Zealand. Thats your semi-final line-up. 

OUT! Starc goes now and it's a cross seamer that does him in. It's a length ball but since it's not as fast as expected Starc misses out and it clatters into his stumps. 9 down now. 

BOWLED! Khawaja moves across the stumps and looks to chip it over fine leg but only manages to deflect it onto his own stumps. It's all on Starc now. Can he somehow get the runs? 

Starc you beauty! Pummels Morris for six over long-on before hitting one over the bowler's head that goes for four. He then runs a single and Khawaja, who's on one good leg at this point, manages a four on the penultimate ball of the over before taking a single. 25 needed off 2 overs! 

Khawaja manages to get a boundary off Rabada behind the wicket but only gets 7 runs off the over. That's not enough but the game, while going in SA's favour, isn't quite over yet. 

OUT! Carey goes and SA are nearing a win. He looks to go over the in field but only finds Markram at sweeper cover who doesn't miss. That's the match all but over, surely. 

Phehlukwayo comes on for only his second over of the game and he gets a breakthrough, getting Cummins to sky one that is taken by Duminy! Big blow for Australia, this. 

Carey smashes Shamsi for back to back boundaries to begin the 44th over and ends up taking a total of 12 runs off it. This is quite something else from him and he's almost single handedly keeping Australia in this. 

Cummins shows off some of his ability by lofting a four over cover off Tahir before taking a single. Carey then smashes a six off long-on before hitting a four towards long-off. This is sensational stuff! Tahir has just been taken for 17 runs. 

Shamsi comes back well and bowls down an over that goes for just 4 runs. The issue of having a tailender in Cummins is showing now but Australia will still believe they can do this. 

Warner may have departed but Carey is continuing the assualt. Smashes Tahir down the ground for a boundary and manages to take a total of 9 runs off that over. 9 overs left and this game could still go either way.

South Africa peaking at the right time! #cwc19

OUT! Warner has to go and South Africa are back in it! Warner aims to get Pretorious over the mid-on region but Morris managed to pull off a stunner of a catch and that has blown the game wide open. 

FOUR, FOUR & FOUR! Carey begins the 37th over by slamming Shamsi for a boundary towards long-on. He then takes a single and Warner gets in on the act, first getting one over fine-leg then goes inside out over cover for another boundary. This is some fine batting on display. 

Warner is operating on another plane right now. Starts Morris' 6th over with a boundary and looks to attack throughout, knowing a move-on is needed. 8 runs come off the over. 

Australia fans will certainly hope so! 

David Warner 💯

CENTURY! David Warner brings up 100 number 17 in ODI cricket with successive boundaries off Chris Morris. What a knock he's played thus far but he will need to keep going. 

Carey manages to get two boundaries off Duminy before the drinks break. Tahir comes back into the attack and his first over in this spell goes for 7 runs, including a boundary courtesy of Warner. Tahir even manages to drop Warner off his own bowling! 

Warner manages a boundary off Duminy in his second over and Carey mets out similar treatment to Shamsi in the next over. Both are clearly keen to get a move on yet SA know getting even one of them will tilt the match in their favour again. 

Shamsi and Duminy continue to keep things tight in the middle overs, giving away 5 runs each in their next two overs. Not that Warner and Carey will mind too much, the aim right now is to survive and rebuild. 

JP Duminy comes into the attack for the first time - perhaps because of the presence of two left handers. His first over is a good one, going for just the solitary run. Australia need a big partnership from Warner and Carey. 

GONE! Australia have lost another wicket here, as the dangerous Maxwell is gone for 12 runs off the bowling of Kagiso Rabada, caught by Quinton de Kock. At the end of 25 overs, the score reads 125/4. Australia need Warner to play a blinder here.

Could very well turn out to be the Warner show today! 115/3 after 23 overs.

As is usually the case with David Warner, width has been punished today. Whenever South Africa have erred, he's gone after it - almost anything wider than a fourth stump line has been attacked. #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/B8gBJNz8jb

Interesting stat - Glenn Maxwell has the highest strike-rate in the first 15 balls at the ongoing World Cup, and is the ideal batsman any team would want to have batting in the situation they are currently in. His partner David Warner isn't too bad, eh? He swats the last ball of the 21st over for a boundary. The score now reads 107/3.

GONE! Marcus Stoinis is back in the pavilion, run-out while going for a run that simply wasn't on. Australia could not have afforded to lose another wicket here, but that's exactly what's happened here. However, in walks in Glenn Maxwell, who is more than adept at accelerating proceedings. Australia are 97/3 at the end of 20 overs.

South Africa have pulled things back here, as Australia are finding it difficult to score at a good pace. At the end of 18 overs, the score reads 91/2. David Warner has crossed his fifty, and follows it up with ANOTHER boundary off the bowling off Imran Tahir at the beginning of the 19th over. Warner is anchoring the enitre Australian innings here.

SIX! David Warner pulls Morris over mid-wicket for his second six of the innings. A really classy shot, that was executed right after Morris missed his length. Till Warner is at the crease, Australia will always have a fighting chance in this innings. At the end of 16 overs, Australia are 81/2.

At the end of 14 overs, the score reads 63/2.

This graphic illustrates quite how remarkable Warner’s domination of Rabada is. Warner has scored exceptionally quickly for a long period of time and has not yet been dismissed. #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/eDoRQFZCtB

Plenty of runs on board for South Africa, as they are in a dominant position at the moment. They are tinkering with the field, and can afford to do so with the number of runs that they have on the board to play with. At the end of 12 overs, the score reads 51/2.

FOUR! Rabada has overpitched off the last ball of the tenth over and Marcus Stoinis does not miss the opportunity of freeing up his hands and playing a glorious cover drive. It's 44/2 after ten overs, and South Africa won't mind the Australian batsman taking the number of singles they have so far. They however, must make sure that they don't bowl lines and lengths that are to the strenghts of Warner and Stoinis.
