SA v Australia: ODI Underway in Potchefstroom

The third men's one-day international between South Africa and Australia commenced at 1.30pm local time (9.30pm AEST) at NWC Oval in Potchefstroom. South African bowler Coetzee delivered a maiden first over, causing the ball to swing significantly, before Australia's openers Marsh and Head each scored a four in the second off Williams.

Early swing has been a feature of this series before the expected big hitting begins. Australia's batsmen have started cautiously, with Marsh defending stoutly while Head was more aggressive in playing pull shots for boundaries. somethingsdifferent.biz
