Temba Bavuma's Century
Captain Temba Bavuma scored a masterful 179 runs, helping South Africa recover from 110-6 to declare at 425-9 on day three of the Test series in Gqeberha.
Bavuma's knock was crucial, sharing partnerships of 132 with Marco Jansen and 183 with Simon Harmer, the best eighth-wicket partnership in South Africa's Test history.
His dismissal triggered South Africa's decision to declare with half an hour to play, putting Australia under pressure.
Australia's Defensive Performance
Australia's Pat Cummins registered his second-most expensive wicketless return, conceding 96 runs without taking a wicket, better only than his 0/101 against India in Sydney in 2019.
Despite this, Australia lost four wickets, including opener Nic Maddinson for a four-ball duck to Kagiso Rabada, and were 3-1 at stumps.
Boland's 4-31 in the second day's play further contributed to Australia's struggles, leaving South Africa on 97 runs for five wickets at stumps.
