Been under the weather and just began watching this. Had a double extraction on Monday .

Good big man cricket this. OZ will win as their potent bowling is hiding some glaring
weakness in the batting except for Smith with the departure of Warner at the top.

In reply to hubert

Hush! The Saffer batting has been like having a tooth pulled....

Maharaj run out for six.

SA 139-9

138/10
Great catch Webster

Pat 6 fer

And get to 300 test wickets

I could live with this version of test cricket where both sides complete full a full innings in one day!!!

In reply to mikesiva

Yes..they show more pain than me.
Saffies have lost too many of their better batters of late and have
been in transition since the departure of the big ones..Smith,Kallis, Amla,DeVilleirs
and dekock et al. Will take more than a decade to replace such quality.

Day 2: Tea Break

RSA 138
AUS 212 & 32/2 (12) CRR: 2.67

Australia lead by 106 runs

Marnus Labuschagne 16(4
Steven Smith 4(2

Rabada to Green, out Caught by Mulder!! Two wickets in the over and KG has sent Khawaja and Green packing once again. On a good length and just outside off, Green was down the pitch as he looked to defend, did so with hard hands and the edge flew through to Mulder at third slip. Came at a good height and the South African all-rounder accepts the chance with glee. Was given an extra over and KG has repaid the captain's faith with two wickets.

Green c Mulder b Rabada 0(2)

Rabada to Khawaja, out Caught by Verreynne!! Edged and caught! End of a pretty average Test for Khawaja, KG shortens the length and gets it to straighten across the left-hander, Khawaja plays from the crease and plays away from his body, gets a thick edge and Verrynne does the rest, moving across to his left. South Africa needed this wicket badly, the lead has crossed into three digits and the openers were looking comfortable.

Khawaja c Verreynne b Rabada 6(23)

Come on Saffies - wickets

Day 2: 3rd Session

AUS 212 & 44/3 (1 CRR: 2.44

Australia lead by 118 runs

17.5
Marco Jansen to Labuschagne, out Caught by Verreynne!! There's the wicket. South Africa needed that spark and it is Jansen who has provided that. Labuschagne throws his head back but he has to go. That's twice he has fallen to Jansen in the Test. This is a full delivery dangled outside off, Labuschagne is drawn into the drive and he only manages an outside edge, Verreynne bends low and hangs on to a good catch. Once again Labuschagne gets a start but can't convert it into a substantial score.

Labuschagne c Verreynne b Marco Jansen 22(64) [4s-2]

Travis Head 0(1)

Ngidi to Smith, out Lbw!! What a review! This is a massive moment in the game. Ngidi has stepped up. He has produced a beauty to dismiss Australia's best batter. South Africa are right back in this contest. Smith was hanging back right through against Ngidi. This ball was fuller, angled in and straightens,
