Aussies all-rounder batsmen Mitchell Marsh in the first innings missed his century as he was dismissed by Varon Philander on 96 runs. Australia able to score 351 runs in the first innings. For Proteas it was Keshav Maharaj who picks 5 wickets for 123 runs. For Proteas in their first innings was a disaster. AB de Villers stands toll in the end. Mr.360 scores 71 runs off 127 balls. South Africa's batsmen are used to facing high speeds, given the pace in their own attack. But on Friday (March 2), Australia pushed the speed gun further than even the Proteas are accustomed to. One delivery from Pat Cummins was clocked at 152 km/h. The Australian pace trio rarely fell below 140. The relentlessness could only have played a role in dismissals that often appeared soft. Australia are 189 runs ahead of South Africa after restricted them for 162 runs at the stump at day 2.
