Inglis and Carey put Australia in command of South Africa decider
CAPE TOWN: Josh Inglis and Alex Carey added an unbeaten 145 for the fifth wicket as Australia took a first innings lead on the second day of the third Test against South Africa at Newlands on Wednesday.
On the second day of the third Test between Australia and South Africa at Newlands, Josh Inglis and Alex Carey combined for an unbeaten 145 to add valuable runs to Australia's total. Australia's score stood at 330 for four, just one run ahead of South Africa's first innings total of 329 with six wickets in hand. Matt Renshaw and Cameron Green contributed significantly with scores of 126 and 65 respectively before Inglis and Carey turned the game in Australia's favor.
Despite interruptions by South African bowlers, Australia's batting progress remained steady on the unresponsive pitch. Inglis, returning from injury, played impressive shots to score 85 not out off 111 balls, while Carey added 51 not out. South Africa's collapse from 203 for one on the first day proved costly, as they struggled against Jansen, who reached 100 wickets in his 24th Test.
