- Australia are on top in their series decider against South Africa after Josh Inglis hit an unbeaten 85 on day two in Cape Town.
- Responding to South Africa’s 329, Australia’s openers started well before Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne were both dismissed by Simon Harmer in the same over before lunch.
- Australia rebuilt as Matt Renshaw and Cameron Green combined for a century partnership before both men fell in quick succession to Marco Jansen.
- However, Australia wrestled back the momentum as Inglis and Alex Carey saw them through to the close of play, with Carey unbeaten on 51 as Australia ended the day 330-4 with a lead of one run and six wickets still in hand.
- Inglis had not been due to play in the deciding Test, but came in as a late replacement for the injured Steve Smith and delivered for his side as they aim to claim a series win in South Africa.
