That's a fair point from Mike. The Aussies are putting a price on their wicket here. Cameron Green's brain fade aside, they have been very disciplined since lunch.

Oh, hello. Nathan Lyon takes on Kagiso Rabada's short ball and pulls it from in front of his eyes for four.

Simon Harmer is almost getting too much turn here. He gets one to spit off the surface but it hits Pat Cummins' thigh pad on its way through to leg slip.

A couple of balls later and an inside edge pops up but drops in front of the fielder under the helmet. Things are starting to happen again.

Australia's total is swelled by four byes but there's no runs off the bat. Incidentally, Nathan Lyon's longest batting stint is the 190 minutes he spent at the crease in the first Test for his 27 runs. He's only ever batted more than two hours on one other occasion.

Pat Cummins' clear gameplan of farming the strike and turning down singles makes Cameron Green's brain fade look even worse. Drinks.

Thumbs up if you're only here to see Australia lose? We can see you.

Will England do any better against this South African team? Only time will tell, but it'd be quite the result if they did.

The crowd cheers sarcastically when Pat Cummins drives a single into the off side. That's got to sting.

The Aussies are then booed when Nathan Lyon turns down a single into the leg side. That's got to sting.

Nathan Lyon emerges and almost immediately plays onto his stumps. Simon Harmer needs these last two wickets for 10 in the match.

There'll be people watching or listening to this who are being asked what it is about the sport they like. Literally nothing has happened in almost an hour yet it's still been fascinating.

Gerald Coetzee the bowler. Pat Cummins the batter. Maiden over.

Marco Jansen, who I once heard described as a 'cheat code' by a South African cricket journalist, is chucked the ball by his skipper and he angles one past Cameron Green's outside edge. That's as exciting as it gets though.

'Alexa, how else can I describe a maiden over?'

That's nine overs in a row now. Just two runs scored in the session - all from one shot.

Kagiso Rabada tries a yorker to Cameron Green, who jabs his bat down just in time. When he pitches it up, Green shows the maker's name. It's quite the effort from the big all-rounder here. He's showing the fight David Warner reckons has been missing.
