  11 overs left after this, with a change of innings that will be 9 overs left. Philander looks solid in defense, if the Aussies don't get a wicket in the next over or two, they should call it off. A tired maiden from Pattinson.

  Lyon to Philander, who takes a single from the second ball. Just one from the over.

  Over 57 Lyon 0-0-0-0-4-0
