Dean Elgar and Hashim Amla started the day cautiously and were perhaps a little too tame during the second session in which they scored at less than two an over.
The Aussie pacemen toiled away hard and started to see results in the post tea session in which they claimed 5 wickets. Australia threatened to rip through the Proteas batting order after Mitch Marsh picked up his second wicket, but a brilliant knock from AB de Villiers has seen South Africa earn a slim lead.
Unbeaten on 74, de Villiers seemed to be batting in different conditions to that of his teammates and it seems only a lack of batting partners will stop him from reaching triple figures.
The game is evenly poised heading into Day 3 with much resting on the shoulders of de Villiers. It should be another ripping day of cricket and you can keep up with all the action here on the Roar!

So another compelling day of Test cricket, with honours being shared evenly as the Proteas finish the day with a 20 run lead and with AB de Villiers still at the crease on 74. If he can add a further 50-100 with the tail, South Africa will feel very bullish about levelling the series.

A good length ball from Hazlewood catches the edge of de Villiers’ bat, but he’s played it with soft hands so it bounces through the slip cordon.

Philander goes hard at a full delivery on middle and off and he’s gotten enough of on it to clear the jumping fielder at point. South Africa pass 250 with those runs.

South Africa now lead by 1 as de Villiers cuts a length ball outside off to deep point. How they’d love a 70-80 run lead from here.
