Tough commission for Axar, bowling into the breeze and allowing David to hit with it.
Axar’s third ball disappears into the crowd at cover, and his fifth bounces off a sponsor’s logo at the very top of the David Boon stand – a hit measured at 129 metres. David now has 38 from 18 balls.
Dube comes on for the eighth over and his first ball, short and wide, is slapped to the cover fence, and David repeats the trick off the fourth ball. In these conditions, Australia will need 200 plus.
A third boundary in the over and David’s 50 comes up off a mere 23 balls.
