Aussies pumped by Proteas in Gqeberha
Australia lose the second Test to South Africa by an innings in Gqeberha.
Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma delivered a career-best 179 in the second Test against Australia, pulling his team back into the series. The rain-affected match saw Australia at 3 for 1 at stumps, with Bavuma's nine-hour innings reshaping the outcome. The 34-year-old's 179-ball innings, consisting of 18 fours and a six, included 132 and 183 stands with Marco Jansen and Simon Harmer respectively.
Bavuma departed with a slight edge off Mitchell Starc, but his performance helped South Africa post 425 for nine declared. Jansen and Harmer's 132-run partnership after Bavuma's innings provided the Proteas with a substantial total, putting them in a strong position to force a win in the remaining two days.
