    The little moments define the big moments. If South Africa don't start off well it works in Australia's favour.

    There's not much grass, no indentations or massive cracks.

    It's nipped just enough, it's been a normal Lord's wicket.

    If South Africa win, it will change everything. It will change the perceptions about them, how they respond to pressure and what they do in big moments.

    They're inexperienced guys without big superstars, particularly batting superstars.

    If you missed any of day one or two at Lord's, I'm afraid you've got a lot to catch up on.

    A total of 28 wickets fell across the first two days, with both South Africa and Australia suffering batting collapses and bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Pat Cummins each adding their names to the honours board.

    Australia are 144-8 in their second innings, with a lead of 218 runs.
