68th over: Australia 197-6 (Renshaw 51, Cummins 38) Nortje is firing up, and Renshaw is staying cool. Cummins starts the over, getting a nasty short one that he just about rides the bounce of, then a full straight one that he squeezes out behind square well enough to get off strike. Renshaw though looks absolutely perfect as he defends a mid-level short ball, then goes under a bouncer, then swishes his bat over a wider line to leave.

67th over: Australia 196-6 (Renshaw 51, Cummins 37) Jansen from the other end, and his over is far more frugal. When Renshaw first hit the Test team as a very young man in 2016, all of the focus was on his leaving. After a profligate batting era of thoughtless shot-players, an Australian audience loved seeing a player who was prepared to show patience. From memory he was applauded at Adelaide Oval when he'd faced his 100th ball. Well, he does the same trick here, blocking the first and then leaving everything else.
