Marco Jansen took five for 33 as Australia were bowled out for 99 on day four of the second Test in Gqeberha. South Africa had declared at 425 for nine and enforced the follow-on, leaving Australia 326 runs behind.

Jansen also scored 85 with the bat in the first innings and ran out a batter in the second. Kagiso Rabada took two for 33 and Wiaan Mulder claimed two for 14 as Australia lost five wickets for single figures.

By stumps, Australia had reached 156 for four in their second innings and still trailed by 170. Travis Head was unbeaten on 87. Steve Smith did not bat after injuring his neck in the first innings.

CricHubb Take

Australia's middle order is now under pressure heading into the final day—Head needs support, and if Smith can't bat, the tail will face Rabada and Jansen again with the deficit still 170.
