Cam Green is out for a second ball duck. Caught comfortably by Mulder at third slip. Rabada is on fire and the South Africans have their tail up. They can smell blood. Steve Smith strolls to the middle. Big period this for Australia. They’ve done so well to get themselves in this position. Smith block first two ball before driving Rabada back past him for four. Rabada gets a big cheer for his double wicket over and rightly so. There has been some sensational fast bowling performances in this Test. Australia 2-28 12.11amRabada removes Khawaja for six Big wicket on the stroke of tea as Khawaja edges Rabada to Verreynne behind the stumps. Dangled the bat outside the off stump and got a pretty solid edge. Two low scores for Khawaja in a disappointing Test. Fascinating to see how he goes in the West Indies ahead of the Ashes. Needs to show he’s still got it with a youngster in Sam Konstas waiting in the wings. Cam Green is out in the middle, also coming off a low-scoring first innings. Australia 1-28, lead by 102 runs. 12.08amAustralia lead by 100 runs With a Mulder no-ball, Australia now have a triple figure lead before tea on day two of this World Test Championship final. It’s been excellent batting to navigate through the first 10 overs. South Africa’s frontline quicks are a handful but their depth isn’t quite there. Could be a cash-in afternoon if these two keep putting a high price on their wickets. Australia 0-28 lead by 102 runs. Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne.

It’s lovely balance from Labuschagne as he makes his way to 15. An interesting look at the career blow of these two great mates. Labuschagne (46.55) just pips Khawaja (45.29) in the average stakes. Very different careers but seriously good players in their prime. Australia 0-23, lead by 97 runsSouth Africa’s captain Temba Bavuma with an old-fashioned hands on hips. Credit: AP yesterday 11.44pmKhawaja is off a pairThe left-hander manages a quick single to get off the mark after his 20-ball, 30-minute duck in the first innings. Both batsmen are showing patience and a desire to let balls go. Khawaja’s double hundred in Sri Lanka was a beauty but outside of that… it’s been slim pickings. Last Test score above 100 before that was in June 2023 against England at Edgbaston. Australia 0-14, lead by 88 runsAustralia’s Marnus Labuschagne bats on day two of the World Test Championship final. Credit: AP yesterday 11.24pmLabuschagne is off the mark Soft hands from Labuschagne sees him guide a Rabada delivery behind point for a couple of runs. Beautiful shot. Labuschagne clips one off his hip to the boundary for four. Great intent. Seven off the first over. South Africa already under pressure. They don’t have long to find their radar. Australia’s Josh Hazlewood, left, congratulates captain Pat Cummins on his six-wicket haul.

Tries to come back for a second run after hitting one into the leg side but Travis Head gets a throw right over the bails for Alex Carey to take. Great fielding and silly batting. It won’t be long before Australia are batting. South Africa 9-138 yesterday 11.03pmCummins hits Rabada Spicy stuff at Lord’s! Pat Cummins has welcomed Kagiso Rabada to the crease with a nasty short ball that smacks him on the shoulder. Then another one banged in short that crashes into Rabada’s grille. Don’t forget what Rabada said before the Test. In light of him coming back from a drug ban. “They [Australian players] come at you, and that gets the best out of me,” Rabada said in an interview with SABC Sport. “They have been notorious for that over the years, right? So yeah, let’s see.” South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada bats on day two of the World Test Championship final.
