WTC Final: Markram Hits Unbeaten 49 As South Africa Require 188 Runs For Victory Against Australia
ICC World Test Championship Final: Aiden Markram held one end firm to be unbeaten on 49 off 66 balls as South Africa reached 94/2 in 24 overs in their second innings against Australia at tea on Day 3 of the ICC World Test Championship Final at the Lord’s on Friday, requiring 188 more runs for victory.
With the sun being out and the pitch becoming flat, Markram was proficient in his drives to lead a solid batting performance for South Africa in that middle session. Though Mitchell Starc took two wickets after hitting a gritty half-century in the first session, Australia’s other bowlers couldn’t really trouble the batters, who have kept the scoring rate healthy.
But South Africa would be hoping skipper Temba Bavuma is fine after being in serious pain post-tweaking his hamstring, ten minutes before the tea break. Bavuma managed to walk off at 11 not out, but an assessment in the break will determine if he will resume his innings in the final session.
