Key Stats
92.4 Josh Hazlewood to Quinton de Kock
OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Josh Hazlewood to Quinton de Kock. Reverse Swing-In length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, hit pad. Big swipe across the line and the finger goes up. It looked very adjacent as de Kock is struck on the back pad, but he is going to review just in case. All three red lights on the replay and finally it's all over. Australia win by 118 runs after a couple of ruthless performances with the ball in hand.South Africa will be thinking what could have happened had their top-order stuck around a little longer and scored a few more runs. Aiden Markram was the stand out batsman with a brilliant 143 and that will give him plenty of confidence going into the rest of the series. Keshav Maharaj also bowled beautifully as he finished with nine wickets for the Test, just like Mitchell Starc who dismantled the lower-order in both innings with his deadly reverse swing.Plenty of talking points coming out of this game and it's starting to get very tasty on and off the field. It's always hard-fought when these two play each other and this series looks like it's going to be no different. Join us for the next Test on Friday when both teams meet in Port Elizabeth.
