South Africa lost 4 wickets even before the first hour ended and no one expected that the team could give an respectable trail to the Australian team, but, South Africa’s most experienced test cricket batsman, Quinton de Kock played a combative 84 run innings on 101 balls to save the team from embarrassment.

Faf du Plessis (37 of 74) and Temba Bavuma (51 of 86) gave Quinton de Kock the required support that was needed to take the team to a considerable total. The wicketkeeper- batsman was their till the 60th over the innings which took the team to a total of 242 runs.

Australian Batsmen David Warner and Shaun Marsh came at the crease to start the Australian batting innings. Both the players were still present at the crease till stumps.

Australia has got a dream start in the first test match of the series but we can also not understate South Africa as the team has a tendency of a comeback in these kind of situations.
