Matt Renshaw has been central to Australia’s push towards a first Test victory in Durban. After scoring 190 in the first innings, he added 82 before taking the first Test wicket of his career. Australia then declared with a lead of 420, leaving South Africa at 102-4 at the close of the day.
Renshaw’s performance has made him a key figure in a match still to be finished. Australia have moved closer to a win, but South Africa will have to continue their chase on day five. The Test will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket on Tuesday, with coverage beginning at 8am.
Australia must also manage without Steve Smith in the field: after being hit on the helmet by Anrich Nortje, he was replaced pending further assessments. His absence comes as Australia look to turn their advantage into a victory.
