Fifties from Josh Inglis (85 not out), Matt Renshaw (74), Cameron Green (65) and Alex Carey (51 not out) put Australia firmly in the driver’s seat as they finished the second Day of the third Test against South Africa at 330-4, taking a one-run lead in the process.

The Australian batter made full use of the pristine batting conditions on offer as South Africa’s bowlers found it difficult to make inroad on a relatively placid track.
