Steven Smith 7(21)
29.3
Morne Morkel to Smith, out Caught by Elgar!! This is a repeat of the first innings. Morne got Smith in the first essay, and now he returns to the attack and strikes immediately. Smith looks back, probably at the big screen, meanwhile the crowd are booing him. The bounce doing the trick for Morne here. Back of a length, hit the pitch hard, got the lift, Smith was on the back foot to force it through the off-side, got a thick edge and it flew straight to Elgar at gully. A double failure in the game to go with all the controversy for Smith. It's 75/5 now. Can Australia push this to Day 5? Smith c Elgar b Morne Morkel 7(21) [6s-1]
