FOUND: Starc adds crucial runs to frustrate proteas in wtc | Mind Blowing Facts

Australia's golden run in global finals is all but over as South Africa close in on a landmark World Test Championship title at Lord's.

Set 282 to win, the Proteas piled on 0-119 in the final session on Friday to be 2-213 - already the highest total of the match - by stumps on day three.
