दक्षिण अफ्रीका vs ऑस्ट्रेलिया, तीसरा वनडे, जेबी मार्क्स ओवल, पोटचेफ़्स्टरूम, 30 September 2026 - लाइव क्रिकेट स्कोर

Bowled on a hard length, outside off. Marsh presses up on his toes and flays it away but picks out Bjorn Fortuin at backward point, who makes a sharp stop by being low to the ground.

A bit fuller, width offered. Marsh firms the drive on the up to deep cover. They cross.

Into the wicket, over off. Connolly hangs back to defend.

On a back of a length, on middle. Cooper stays rooted to the crease and pushes at the ball with hard hands. Miscues it off the inner half to mid-wicket.

And again, but this time, Cooper gets a single. Across off, on a short of a length. Connolly looks to force it through the off side but the ball catches the inner half and goes past Tony de Zorzi at mid-wicket.

In line with the off stump, the length is pushed up. Marsh drops it with soft hands to the right of cover and hurries to the other end.

OUT! LBW! Bjorn Fortuin gets the big fish. Drifting in, on a length, around the off pole. Marsh drops to a knee and leans across to play the paddle. The ball comes in with the arm and sneaks past the bat to catch the Aussie skipper on the back leg. A prolonged appeal and the finger is raised. Mitchell Marsh is not sure and has a word with Cooper Connolly before taking the review.  Flat line on UltraEdge and it is three reds on Ball Tracking, with the ball crashing into the middle stump. Marsh began to walk off as soon as the replays came up on the big screen, and he will have to keep walking. A good knock by the captain, but Australia ideally needed more from him given the middle order woes.

Short and spinning back in on middle. Peake goes back in the crease and flicks it away through square leg for a single.

Stays short, on middle. Cooper flicks it with the spin in front of square on the leg side for one.

This is quicker but the length stays short, on of. Oliver taps it to cover.

Not in control but safe. Drops it short, on middle. Peake goes on the back foot for the pull but ends up spooning it behind square leg in the big gap. Oliver comes back for the second run before the throw comes in.

FOUR! Off the edge. Full and around off, this does not turn. Peake has a tentative prod at the ball but he does so with soft hands. The ball catches the outside edge and does not carry to Aiden Markram at slip. It bounces past him and trickles down to the fence as Matthew Breetzke gives chase. Breetzke slides to push the ball away but the batters had anyway run four. The third umpire check shows that Breetzke was in contact with the boundary cushions when he flicked the ball away, so it will be a boundary.

Nice and tight, on a good length. Cooper keeps it out from the crease.

A bit fuller, on middle. Connolly knocks it down the deck but it is played too straight and crashes into the sticks.

FOUR! In the gap. Dug in short, over middle. Connolly stands tall and swivels to nail the pull. Hits it flat and well away to the left of the man at deep square leg for a four.

Goes fuller now, on off. Cooper defends it from the crease.

A bit of yes and no. This is on a nagging length, on middle. Cooper pushes out in front of his body. Peake is keen for a single and sets off before being sent back. The mid on fielder misses his shy at the bowling end but it would not have mattered as Peake was in by then.

On the pads, on a good length. Cooper flicks it past mid-wicket and retains the strike with a single.

At 84.3 kph, short and a bit of turn, on middle. Connolly punches it to long on for a single.

Drags the length back, on middle. Peake mistimes the pull off the back foot to deep square leg for one more.

Quicker and fuller too, on off. Connolly punches it past cover and turns the strike over.

From around the wicket now, this is slowed down, on a length. Oliver nudges it to mid-wicket.

Not all that short, angled away. Peake stays back and pats it through covers for another single.

Slightly on the shorter side, on off. Connolly walks across the stumps and scoops it away. The ball does not have enough legs to reach the fence and it is cut off by Nqobani Mokoena running to his left in the deep. Two runs taken.

At the hips, on a back of a length. Peake hops across and tugs it in front of deep square leg. They think about the second run but the fielder attacks the ball and keeps the batters down to a single.

Angled in at the sticks. Connolly eases this full ball back to the bowler.

Stays at the stumps, on a good length. Cooper clips it from the crease to mid-wicket.

A little too straight, at the pads, this is helped down to deep fine leg. They cross.

There still seems to be some movement off the surface if you hit the right lengths. From over the wicket, nipping away off the seam, on a nagging length, on middle. Peake is squared up in defence. It squirts off the outer half down to deep third. Single taken.

Had to hurry! On off, on a back of a length. Connolly knocks it between cover and mid off and scampers through for a quick single. Oh, Mokoena has overstepped. No Ball called. Free Hit is coming up.

Good change-up! Takes all the pace off, does Mokoena, keeping it around leg, on a length. Peake clears the front leg and has a big heave across the line but is undone by the slowness of the ball and he fails to connect.

OUT! CASTLED! That's what an extra bit of pace can do. An absolute corker of a yorker. Steams in from around the wicket and holds the ball cross-seam as he nails the yorker at 145 kph. It is right in the blockhole, on off and middle. Connolly is late to get his bat down, and the ball sneaks under the blade before shattering the stumps. End of a 24-run stand. Australia are now 3 down for 118.

Bowled on a good length, in the channel. Carey's feet go nowhere and he has a tentative push at the ball. It goes more off the outer half to cover.

Digs it in short at 140.9 kph, on off. Carey stands tall, gets his hands high and dabs it to backward point.

Fuller in length and near the tramline. Carey goes chasing at the ball but mistimes the drive through covers for a single.

Cranked up at 147.9 kph, on a length, angled in at the off stump. Peake stays on the back foot to a ball he was better off being forward to. He stays beside the line as well, but somehow manages to get it away towards deep third. They cross.

1 run, the batter goes back in the crease and flicks it away through fine leg for a single.
