Wickets tumble again as a low-scoring final heading to a thrilling conclusion

Australia Lead South Africa by 218 Runs on Day 2 of WTC Final

A low-scoring World Test Championship final was heading to a thrilling conclusion after Australia took a 74-run first-innings lead before being reduced to 144-8 by South Africa by the close of Day 2 at Lord's on Thursday.

It was a landmark day for Australia captain Pat Cummins, who took 6-28 to get to 300 wickets in his Test career and dismiss the Proteas for 138 following a whirlwind hour after lunch when the Baggy Greens claimed South Africa's last five batters for 12 runs in 5.5 overs.
