Temba Bavuma scores 179 as South Africa declare at 425 for 9

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma scored 179 to lead his side to 425 for nine declared on the third day of the second Test against Australia in Gqeberha. Bavuma's 334-ball innings included century partnerships with Marco Jansen and Simon Harmer after the hosts had slipped to 110 for six.

Jansen scored 85 to break a 60-year-old record for the highest score by a number eight batter for South Africa in a home Test against Australia. The 132-run seventh-wicket stand with Bavuma took South Africa to 242 for seven before Harmer added a career-best 82 in an 183-run eighth-wicket partnership.

Kagiso Rabada dismissed Nic Maddinson for a duck in the first over of Australia's innings. The visitors will resume on day four needing to avoid the follow-on against a South African total built around disciplined batting against a tiring attack.
