SOUTH AFRICA MAKE 8/287 OFF 50 OVERS

South Africa have ended there innings well, making 80 off the last 11 overs to boost there total to 287. It was largely thanks to Mark Boucher who made 80 not out. 3 wickets were taken in the last 11 overs with Brett lee taing the wickets of Pollock and Hall and speedstar Mitchaell Johnson getting spinner Petersen. Dan Cullen finished with bad figures of 1/65 off 9 overs. It will be a good finish with Australia needing 288 to win but it won't be easy against South Africas attack
