Lyon takes wickets as South Africa slip from 203 for one to 232 for six

Nathan Lyon led Australia's fightback on the first day of the third Test in Cape Town as South Africa slipped from 203 for one to 232 for six. Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton fell short of centuries, while David Bedingham was dismissed for 50 after a promising start.

Mitchell Starc removed Wiaan Mulder and David Bedingham with short-pitched deliveries. Josh Hazlewood completed the catch on the boundary to dismiss Bedingham after the batter pulled to fine leg. Cooper Connolly also contributed with the ball for Australia.

South Africa won the toss and chose to bat first. The match is the deciding Test in the series after both teams won one match each in the opening two fixtures.
