Renshaw in for Boland ?!
Against a team who has struggled to reach 200 in its 4 previous Test innings ?
Carey should've been at #6, Agar at 7 and Boland in the XI.
Donny.
It's a game. Enjoy it.

Labu looks in great touch.
Some very nice shots amongst his 11 fours. 61*.
1/111. Khawaja 40*.

Footnote. Renshaw tested positive for Covid, before the coin toss, but they still played him.

Back on for a short time, but time enough for Nortje to claim Labu for 79.
2/147.

SpecialK reaches his 13th Test century. He’s 100* and SPD BradSmith is 50*. Australia is 2/248. The partnership has passed the 100.

2/304. Khawaja is 119* and Smith is 85*. The partnership has passed 150*. Smith is averaging only 71 for the Series, so I guess South Africa has worked him out. He presently has 469 Test runs at 93.80 in the 2022/23 season.
By the way, Rabada has 0/76 and Marahaj has 0/78. Marahaj now has 0/230 for the series. It's a good thing that he has as many double-centuries as Warner in the series, though, right?

30th. Test ton for Smith.
Ussy and Smudge make hay in Sydney.
Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith took their partnership past 200 in the third Test, against Sth. Africa, at the SCG.
Aust. 2/355. Khawaja 152*, Smith 103*.

Khawaja brings up his 150 with a 4 and Smith brings up his 100 with a 4. 2/356. The partnership is 209, at the moment.
And Smith quietly goes past Bradman with his 30th Test century.

Smith out for 104 - Maharaj finally gets a wicket - after conceding 247 runs, so far, for the Series.
