Matt Renshaw scores career-best 190 to lead Australia past South Africa in Durban

Renshaw returns to form after decade

The Queenslander moved from the bottom of the order to number five for this match. He reached his second Test century in ten years since scoring against Pakistan in Sydney. His innings settled Australia after they were 124 for six on the first day.

Partnership with Lyon secures victory

Nathan Lyon joined Renshaw to build a record ninth-wicket partnership of 134 runs. The team reached 390 all out before play stopped due to bad light conditions. South Africa replied with 27 for one before the match ended prematurely.

Fielding and bowling aid recovery

Support from the lower order helped Australia maintain stability during the long session. The batting side faced tough spells from Marco Jansen and Anrich Nortje early in the day. Wiaan Mulder provided modest velocity and bounce that troubled the Australian batsmen later on.
