An early offering from our man Dan Brettig on the ground, who writes: “A couple nicks through slips and Maddinson has his highest Test score, 25 surpassing 22 from his first brief Test stint in 2016-17.”
Bavuma has now called for spin. It hasn’t taken long. Despite the ball being just nine overs old, Bavuma has turned to Simon Harmer – the 37-year-old, right-arm off-spinner.
Wow, Maddinson hasn’t taken long. He’s gone after Harmer immediately and belts a six over the spinner’s head. Maddinson to 48. Labuschagnne is five.
Australia are 1-71 off 10 overs.
