A sensational spell by Pat Cummins with the old ball helped Australia get back into the match after a Dean Elgar - AB de Villiers partnership gave South Africa an ominous advantage under the scorching sun. Cummins broke through with the big scalp of AB de Villiers, who chipped the ball through mid-off.
He then proceeded to get rid of Faf du Plessis, Temba Bavuma and Quinton de Kock as the cream of South Africa's middle-order succumbed to Cummins' spectacular spell. With Starc getting rid of Maharaj, South Africa lost six wickets within 37 runs with the bulk of the damage being done by Cummins.
