Video summary

Press to jump

0:06Renshaw and Head begin Australia's day against South Africa's pace attack.
3:34Harmer enters the attack and immediately disrupts Australia's opening stand.
5:39Green and Renshaw build a partnership, mixing boundaries with steady accumulation.
9:37Jansen begins a dramatic two-ball passage, with a review involved in the first dismissal.
11:00Carey and Inglis take on the rebuilding; Australia's closing position comes at 15:43.

Why leave the singles in a highlights reel? For viewers watching Australia build an innings at Newlands, those small moments are part of the point. Several of Fox Cricket's most-liked comments single out the inclusion of dot balls, singles and twos, rather than just boundaries and wickets.

The second-day highlights from the third Test against South Africa passed 100,000 views within nine hours, well ahead of the channel's usual first-day audience. The comments were already more than ten times as numerous as on a typical opening day.

There is plenty of interruption to Australia's patient progress. Simon Harmer bowls Travis Head with his first delivery, then dismisses Marnus Labuschagne without scoring in the same over. Cameron Green and Matthew Renshaw repair the innings, both reaching half-centuries before Marco Jansen removes them on successive balls: Green caught behind after a review, Renshaw edging to Harmer at slip.

That leaves Josh Inglis and Alex Carey with another rebuilding job. Both reach fifty as Australia closes on 330-4. The edit gives their accumulation room alongside the sudden wickets, exactly the balance those viewers are discussing.

Fox Cricket's separate New Zealand-India T20I highlights also drew a stronger-than-usual opening audience. Around the Cape Town match, the channel has posted analysis of Labuschagne's dismissal and Renshaw's press conference, where his message about his teammate is rather gentler: sometimes a batter needs some luck.

Wow. What a day of cricket. So many positives for Australia here. Cam green getting runs, Renshaw looking like a true opener, Inglis getting runs, and Carey also. This is looking like a great test match. I'm excited and pumped :)
