Meanwhile, Carey scored his first half-century in 12 Test innings. The pair also registered Australia’s first fifth wicket against South Africa since 2014.Earlier, Matt Renshaw scored 74 and Cameron Green contributed 65 to bolster Australia’s reply after a promising opening stand between Renshaw and Travis Head.The pair added runs comfortably before Simon Harmer struck twice in the same over. Head was bowled for 41 after chopping the ball onto his stumps, while Marnus Labuschagne fell for a five-ball duck after slipping.Renshaw and Green then combined for a third-wicket partnership of 126 to take Australia to 148/2 before lunch and continued their stand into the afternoon session. Both batsmen brought up their half-centuries, with Green being particularly aggressive against Kagiso Rabada.However, Marco Jansen restored South Africa’s momentum by dismissing both set-up batsmen within two overs. Renshaw was caught behind after trying to attack a short delivery, with the decision upheld by DRS. The wicket was Jansen’s 100th in Test cricket. Green soon followed and began to slip.South Africa looked to have regained control before the final session, but Inglis and Carey ensured Australia finished the day firmly on top.The three-match series is tied 1-1. Australia won the opening Test in Durban by 214 runs, while South Africa bounced back with an innings and 31-run victory in Gqeberha. The third and final Test in Cape Town remains well set, with Australia holding the advantage after some strong batting.
