Two dots.

Graeme Smith is lurking on the boundary edge, Shaun Pollock is pacing around the commentary box, AB de Villiers looks far more relaxed from the stands.

History awaits for South Africa.

    That was a remarkable piece of cricket. Aiden Markram hit it well but a fine catch from Travis Head.

    Markram has led them to victory with the best innings of his life.

    Dare I say that we just saw the best innings ever from a South African player in a Test match.

    WICKET

    Markram c Head b Hazlewood 136 (SA 276-5)

    Oops...

    Aiden Markram has played the innings of his life but unfortunately, he will not be there at the end for his side.

    He trudges off after clubbing one to Travis Head at mid-wicket, who takes a brilliant catch, but nevertheless, Lord's rises to one of the great Test knocks.

    Every Australian player shakes his hand and they barely celebrate the wicket at all.

    More turn and bounce from Nathan Lyon which David Bedingham lets go, shouldering arms and the ball ends up in the hands of Travis Head again.

    Nobody is even remotely bothered apart from Marnus Labuschagne, who is obviously in the best position to decide that it's out... from mid-wicket.

    The umpires pay him no attention whatsoever.

    Just a couple of singles taken from Beau Webster's first over, as the tension has eased drastically now.

    One more over until the new ball. Australia will be hoping it brings them a miracle.

  • Shot of the day.

  • SA 265-4

    Need 17 to win

    Sharp turn and Nathan Lyon pins Bedingham in front.

    The umpire is unmoved and with jeers coming from the crowd, Pat Cummins jokingly makes the signal to review.

    At least he's still smiling.
