South Africa and Australia are battling it out in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London since June 11.
Australia took a 74-run first-innings lead and has overcame a collapse in the second innings to assume a significant advantage over the Proteas.
In tough batting conditions, it will be interesting to see how South Africa goes about chasing the total.
While the highest successful run-chase at the iconic Lord’s is an impressive 342 by West Indies against England in 1984, a target in excess of 200 has only been overhauled four times at the venue in Tests.
