LIVEThe sun has come out for South Africa as Australia contemplate having to bowl themselves to World Test Championship glory in the hottest conditions of the match. Not only will South Africa have to overcome its own crippling World Cup hoodoo to create history at Lord’s, but they will have to break a record which has held at the Home of Cricket since 1984. That was the last time a team has won at Lord’s where the fourth innings run chase is higher than any of the previous innings totals.

Beau Webster has made a statement at Lord’s that even when Cameron Green returns to bowling he will be hard to dislodge from the Australian top six. The Tasmanian’s 72 – just like his half century on debut in Sydney against India – could be the difference between the two teams in the WTC Final.
