Aussies’ late show keeps them on ball

AUSTRALIA’S newlook team produced a late rally on the opening day of the fourth Test against South Africa, as they took the field for the first time since the ball-tampering row.

South Africa, who lead 2-1, made an impressive start after winning the toss and electing to bat.

But Australia fought back during an extended closing session with some late wickets – including Proteas captain Faf du Plessis for a golden duck and AB de Villiers out for 68 – as the hosts finished on 313-6.
