Rabada’s fiery 11th over removed Khawaja and Green in quick succession, backing up his first-innings 5/51 to rattle Australia early in the second dig

Ngidi tightened the screws post-tea, trapping Smith lbw and removing Webster, who had top-scored in the first innings, as Australia crumbled further

Wiaan Mulder bowled Head through the gate, while Cummins fell to a blistering Ngidi yorker, leaving Australia with a slim lead and seven down
