Philander gets Bancroft early on. Maharaja's very first ball turns a LOT and traps Warner - Faf burns the second of SA's reviews this innings by the start of the 11th over - ball turned too much.

SA go for an extra bat.
Apparently Steyn will be available later in the series.
Ngidi out de bruyne in.

The fall of Warner's wicket just before lunch made it SA's session, no doubt. If Warner had survived, it probably would have been Aus'

Aussies in a precarious position with three down. Smith still there though and the innings rests on him again.
Not a lot of reliable batting left in the hutch.

Bancroft must be on borrowed time. He is incredibly lucky that Australia have not taken a back up opener for this series.

Fifty for Smith. He never misses.
Fifty partnership with Marsh the Elder too.

Aussies are in big trouble here. Need the lower order to dig them out.

It finished early because of bad light DF. Even so SA were a long way behind in their overs. Im not sure anything can be done about that with the light effecting play
