Marco Jansen to Josh Hazlewood, out Caught by Aiden Markram!! It's a comeback for the ages from South Africa as they level the series in Gqeberha. Captain Temba Bavuma's incredible rescue act, Marco Jansen's all-round efforts, the fire of Rabada and the persistence of Mulder have conjured up a win that will occupy its place among their most memorable ones. And once again, after the familiar highs of Durban, Australia get another taste of the dirt in Gqeberha like they did in 2014 and 2018. Jansen it is who has the honour of putting the finishing touches. Short of length outside off, climbs on Hazlewood as he looks to cut and flies off the edge into the safe hands of Markram at second slip. The celebrations begin in the crowd and on the field.
