Drinks! South Africa’s hour without any doubts. Aiden Markram picked up from where he left off on Day 1 and quickly notched up his fifty while Temba Bavuma has also looked solid out there.

However, for that to happen, the bowlers need to be more consistent with their line and lengths and not give away easy runs. An exciting phase of cricket awaits us.
