Steve Smith has broken the record for most test catches, as Australia continues to dominate the first test against South Africa. Smith secured his 222nd test catch, surpassing England's Joe Root's record of 220. The match saw Australia bat first, finishing on 33/0 after 5.4 overs, leading by 139 runs. The third day at Kingsmead ended early due to bad light, with Australia's dominance continuing. South Africa, currently at 238 runs for eight wickets, remains trailing by 152 runs at tea.
