Matt Renshaw continued his strong performance in the first Test against South Africa, top-scoring with 82 runs in Australia's second innings. This followed his 190 in the first innings, contributing to a match tally of 272 runs.
Australia declared at 316 for six, setting South Africa a target of 421 runs to win. Renshaw's second innings was described as dynamic, contrasting with his calmer first innings.
By the close of day four, Australia had taken four South African wickets for 102 runs. Aiden Markram remained at the crease on 45, and is expected to be a key player on the final day.
Josh Hazlewood took two wickets, dismissing Ryan Rickelton and David Bedingham. Renshaw also picked up his first Test wicket, removing South African captain Temba Bavuma, before Pat Cummins had Tristan Stubbs caught.
