Aus assistant coach hails 'exceptional' Markram, Bavuma as SA near historic win

Australia’s assistant coach, Daniel Vettori, had some high praise for South Africa’s Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram after their gritty partnership kept their team in the hunt for a historic win in the World Test Championship final. With just 69 runs needed and eight wickets still in hand, South Africa is closing in on victory. Vettori admitted it won’t be easy for Australia to break through, and he also raised concerns about Steve Smith’s injured finger.
