Aiden Markram played a leading role in the historic victory of South Africa near Lord’s in London

Opener Markram anchored the pursuit of South Africa with a knock of 136 runs from 207 deliveries
But they could only beat the opposition that was placed for them and this victory over the number that was a ranked Australia was a justification of the tactic of Temba Bavuma: Insert Australia in the knowledge that Bowlen was the power of his team and that Lord’s pitches tend to flatten.
Their attack, led by the brilliant Kagiso Rabada, put things under gloomy skies and the batters ended things in the sun.
Huge cheers greeted Australia Captain Pat Cummins’ fourth delivery of the morning when his opposite number Bavuma struck the ball through coverage and a single shot – a reminder of the hamstring disorder that he fought to get 65.
However, it was the only addition to his overnight score, because the excellent line of Cummins drew an outer edge for a consecutive regulation.
It was the early breakthrough that Australia longed for, but that was their despair for more that Australia burned all three of their assessments within a period of eight.
Tristan Stubbs was immediately after the second of it, to a bail trimmer from Mitchell Starc, and Markram cut the second new ball into the hands of MidWicket with only six required.
He left for hands-and-prints around the Aussies and a standing ovation of a South African-dominated crowd for his 136, but Verreynne sprayed the winning run through the off-side after transferring a glove behind in Starc’s earlier.
