Australia in South Africa in 2018.

[mikesiva]

Elgar gets his century and de Villiers gets his half century!

Three down as de Villiers is out for 64.

Bavuma and du Plessis out cheaply. Australia back in this. Now de Kock goes cheaply too.

What a spell from Cummins. Got rid of ABD, Faf and Temba without giving too many runs. Gets Aussies back in the match.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Six wickets for 46 runs. That's given the Aussies a big share of the day. Tough for Elgar.

[mikesiva]

Rabada out for 22 and Morkel for 4...South africa 311 all out.

Elgar carried his bat for 141.

Cummins 4-78.

[mikesiva]

Rabada bowled warner for 30!

Morkel gets Khawaja for five.

Morkel strikes! Smith out for five.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not often an opener carries his bat. A big achievement.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Elgar the best opener around at the moment?

From the end of the English season in 2016.

His average is certainly going in the right direction.

Bancroft gets his half century!

[GarlicJam]

Not often an opener carries his bat. A big achievement.

Well, it's never any other batsman does.....



Cricinfo just told me that this is Elgar's 3rd time doing - only Haynes (Desmond, I assume) and Dean. Have achieved that milestone.

No small claim to fame.

[mikesiva]

Morkel again! Shaun Marsh out for 26.

Philander gets the important wicket of Bancroft for 77 just before tea. Just after tea he removed Mitchell Marsh for five.

[Arthur Crabtree]

SA well on top.

[Arthur Crabtree]

That was Lyono's highest Test score.

Frustrating for the bowlers!

[yuppie]

That was Lyono's highest Test score.

Frustrating for the bowlers!

Batting last and still 66 runs behind. SA a firmly on top here
