Century for Markram against the Aussie bowlers. Top class effort and he looked good in the first innings too.

Yes, conditions could be a shock to the system. Might have to watch his running too - he ran out deVilliers for a duck earlier on and I think he'd have ran himself out on 99 - hit the ball to a fielder who luckily missed the stumps.
