Australia's bowlers have put the team on top on the third morning in Durban. According to ESPNcricinfo, Steven Smith took two catches, taking his total to surpass Joe Root's record for most Test catches by a non-wicketkeeper.
On day two, Australia posted 390 all out, with Matt Renshaw scoring a career-best 190, as reported by Business Recorder. He shared a record ninth-wicket stand of 134 with Nathan Lyon. South Africa reached 27 for one in reply before the day ended early due to bad light. Aiden Markram and David Bedingham will resume on the third morning.
The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age both note that the Australian bowlers have a big task ahead of them as South Africa continues their chase of 390 at Kingsmead in Durban.
