Renshaw scores 190 as Australia post 390 on day two in Durban
Matt Renshaw's 190 helped Australia reach 390 on day two of the first Test in Durban before Josh Hazlewood struck early with the ball.
Matt Renshaw scored 190 to lift Australia to 390 all out on the second day of the first Test against South Africa in Durban. The left-hander shared a record 134-run stand with Nathan Lyon after the top order had faltered.
Australia resumed at 98 for three on day two. Renshaw's innings formed the backbone of the total as the lower order contributed around his substantial knock.
Josh Hazlewood then struck early with the ball before bad light ended play with Australia at 33 without loss in their second innings. South Africa will begin their reply on day three.
CricHubb Take
The record stand with Lyon reveals Renshaw's value as a No. 5 who can bat long when the top order falters. His ability to rotate strike with the lower order changes how Australia approach the middle overs of their first innings.
