    0.6 Oh dear, what have you done Warner? Nicked off for 1 in the first over. This wasn't a wicket-taking delivery by any means. Full and slanting away on a set of stumps outside off or even wider, from over the wicket. Warner's bat is magnetised into flashing wildly. He edges it behind to Qdk, who moves to his left to snap up the catch. He nearly gloved it in front of first slip 2/1

    1.6 that's the break-back from Abbott. He strikes in his first over on return. Australia lose their openers in two overs. Umpire Kettleborough's finger goes up. Nice and full, seams in sharply, on off, Burns plays around his pad, plays down the wrong line. The ball thuds into the front pad, before ricocheting onto the back pad. Looks out to the naked eye. It was probably going to hit leg stump. Burns decides against a review. EagleEye shows it was just grazing the leg stump, pointing to umpire's call 2/2

    8.3 edged and taken by Amla at first slip, diving low to his left. Australia's top order has been routed. Good length on middle and seams away, Khawaja is opened up again. Philander finds the outside edge and Amla does the rest. Australia 3 for 8 on a tough morning 8/3

    8.4 Philander sends Voges packing for a first-ball duck. Make that 4 for 8. Oh wait, they are checking for a possible front-foot no-ball. Philander is fine. He can keep celebrating. Don't look back, Voges. Good length, angled in on off, and seams away. Went away like a quick legcutter. Little gem; Voges has to play. He is squared up and feeds an outside edge to Qdk, moving to his right 8/4

    12.5 It's all happening in Hobart, superb recovery from Vilas, the sub. A direct hit, and Ferguson is run-out for 3 on Test debut. Believe it or not, it's 5 for 17. Back of a length and slanting away outside off, steered to the right of diving backward point. Villas, having fumbled earlier, recovers, runs behind, collects the ball, turns back, and splatters the stumps quickly at the striker's end, catching Ferguson short on the second, despite a desperate full-length dive. Vilas, who is a specialist wicketkeeper, had one stump to aim and nailed it with a flat throw. Ferguson's father and his brother who are in the stands are gutted. Never run off a misfield, coaches say..... 17/5

    20.1 an appeal for lbw, umpire Dar shakes his head. SA challenge the on-field call. Was it doing too much? No signs of an inside edge on Hotspot and snicko. Impact in line and hitting a good chunk of leg stump. 50% of the ball was hitting leg. Rabada says "close". Five-star review from Faf, leaves Australia at 6 for 31. Full and angled in on middle, the batsman plays across his front pad and falls over 31/6

    28.3 Philander comes back and bursts through the gate of Mennie. The off stump is knocked back. Good length and this jags back in enough to shoot through the bat-pad gap. Mennie plays outside the line of it, and pays the penalty. Australia 7 for 59 59/7

    29.4 Terrific catch from Duminy. Australia subside to 8 for 66. Abbott nearly pulls off the Oh my Broad expression. Is it Trent Bride all over again? Good length and outside off, Starc looks to drive away from the body with hard hands and edges it. It flies to the right of gully. Duminy throws himself to his right, full-stretch dive, and pulls off a stunner 66/8

Come on, Abbott, bring out the oh my Broad expression again.... 76/9

Full and outside off, Lyon flashes a drive and sends an outside edge behind. It seemed to be travelling to Amla until the wicketkeeper took flight. Philander finishes with 5 for 21 85/10

    18.1 and he strikes with his first ball after tea. Umpire Dar raises his finger. Elgar decides against a review. Pinpoint yorker, homing into the left-hander. He is late onto it and falls over. Beaten for pace. Think it would have grazed the leg stump. It hit Elgar's back pad/boot in front of middle and leg, and EagleEye shows it was hitting leg stump 43/1

Duminy follows the line of the ball. Drives away from the body and nicks it behind to Smith at second slip. Good, waist-high catch, bending forward 46/3

    27.5 nip-backer from Hazlewood and he has his reward. Faf has been given out leg-before. He calls for a review, looks pretty adjacent, however. This isn't a five-star review. Leg-side hotspot does not detect an edge. Full and seams back in, Faf plays around his front pad, and falls over on the floor. Strikes the front pad, well below the knee-roll, in front of middle. EagleEye shows it was crashing into the leg stump. Faf has to exit 76/4

    93.3 Mennie has his maiden Test wicket, after 153 balls, and his team-mates rush in to mess his hair up. Bavuma holes out to point. Back of a length and angled in on off stump, rears up at the batsman. He attempts a half-pull, half-flick, and ends up skewing a leading edge in the air to Lyon moving to his right and snapping up the catch in front of his face 292/7

Qdk can't contact with a punch down the ground. Just enough movement as Hazlewood shoots through the gate and hits the off stump 276/6

    96.2 looks plumb, umpire Dar's finger goes up in a flash. Hazlewood has a five-for. Abbott reviews. Full and seams back in sharply from outside off, almost like a quick offbreak. No signs of an inside edge. The batsman misses the line and is pinned on the front pad in front of middle stump. Grazing leg stump, and that's enough for umpire's call 297/9

    0.4 loose ball, loose shot. Burns strangled down leg? Umpire Dar does not budge. South Africa review There was a noise there. Very full and slanted down the leg side, Hotspot detects a tiny mark. Snicko picks up a spike. Burns chases a leg-side ball and just feathers it behind to de Kock. Burns departs for a four-ball duck. Twin failures for him 0/1

Back of a length and on the leg stump, Warner leaps and looks to glance it fine on the leg side. The ball strikes the hip, ricochets off the elbow and the leg bail gets flipped off 79/2

    46.1 Voges misjudges the length and guides a catch to Duminy at gully. Terrible shot. Not sure if it could be called a shot in fact. Australia four down. Abbott goes short and just outside off. Voges commits on the front foot. He is then caught between pulling and leaving. Looks highly ungainly. Ends up hanging his bat out at an angle, sliding it off the face to Duminy. He will leave Hobart with scores of 0 and 2 135/4

Back of a length and seams back in on a fourth-stump line, Ferguson is not sure whether to duck or sway away. In the end, he does a bit of both. The ball brushes the glove and lobs up to Elgar at third slip. He should have blocked that off the back foot. In the end, Elgar pockets a waist-high catch 140/5

    53.6 Mennie has been given out lbw by umpire Kettleborough. He goes for a review, after having started to walk off, but I think that was hitting leg stump. Very full, low full-toss in fact, slants in from over the wicket. Mennie plays down the wrong line and his head falls over to the off side. No signs of bat involved. EagleEye shows it was just clipping leg stump, enough for umpire's call to be upheld. Mennie falls for a two-ball duck. SA three away from victory 150/7
