- 2:04Josh Inglis reaches his century and celebrates with Alex Carey.
- 2:22Simon Harmer breaks through, removing Inglis and Carey.
- 6:44Marco Jansen's sharp return catch brings Australia's innings to a close.
- 8:21Mitchell Starc takes an early wicket as Aiden Markram hits straight to Travis Head.
- 13:17Marques Ackerman reaches his half-century before his dismissal by Starc.
- 15:56The closing scoreboard gives South Africa's position after Lyon's late breakthrough.
Simon Harmer does not let Australia's celebration last long. Josh Inglis raises his bat alongside Alex Carey after reaching his century, but the South African spinner then removes both batters to pull the innings back toward the hosts.
It is the next chapter after Carey and Inglis steadied Australia on the previous day: the partnership delivers a hundred for Inglis, before South Africa works through the remaining wickets. Marco Jansen supplies the finishing touch with a sharp return catch off Josh Hazlewood.
Fox Cricket's highlights passed 120,000 views in nine hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for a regular upload.
The second half belongs to Australia's bowlers. Mitchell Starc has Aiden Markram caught by Travis Head, Hazlewood removes David Bedingham, and Marques Ackerman reaches his half-century before falling to Starc. Nathan Lyon then dismisses Temba Bavuma in the shadows of the close, leaving South Africa four wickets down.
Lyon's delivery is a particular talking point in the comments. Several viewers also want another look at Ackerman's dismissal, asking for slow-motion wicket replays rather than footage of singles. Alongside the highlights, Fox Cricket has posted a separate discussion of South Africa's shot selection and Simon Harmer's press conference defending his teammates.

Lyons floater. Unreal.

We still should have batted first, this pitch will be hard to bat on in the 4th innings. Let's hope we roll them quickly and have under 150 to chase... Congrats Inglis on a great ton.
