Mitchell Starc takes six for 72 as South Africa reach 329 on day one

Starc reached 450 career Test wickets before the match, the second Australian pace bowler after Glenn McGrath to do so.

Mitchell Starc claimed six for 72 as South Africa were dismissed for 329 on day one of the third Test at Cape Town. He took his last four wickets in two overs with the second new ball after South Africa lost their final six wickets for 113. Marques Ackerman made 95 and Aiden Markram scored 78 in an opening stand of 158.

CricHubb Take

Starc's ability to strike with the second new ball twice in the series suggests the Durban and Cape Town pitches share similar wear patterns that reward late swing.
