13th over: England 35-2 (Malan 8, Root 14) Neser, bowling fuller than England have been, almost grabs a maiden but for one run that Malan glances to long leg. The next half-hour to an hour will be key for these batters, you’d think. Australia will want to strike the top order sooner rather than later or otherwise allow the tourists to settle in and get comfy.
