But the cartel were outstanding \u2013 some of them with the bat, never mind the ball, and Josh Hazlewood\u2019s figures of 16.5-4-49-6 are the best of his 12-year Test career.

They showed their experience, they showed their skill and got themselves into a very competitive position.&lt;\/p&gt;\\n &lt;p&gt;Those of us who have played against Australia know that you don\u2019t want to give them the opportunity to play the game from the front. We can learn from how they went about it, both batting and bowling.&lt;\/p&gt;\\n &lt;p&gt;The biggest difference was guys getting in and not going big.

Simon Harmer can bat time, he\u2019s a proper county-drilled professional.&lt;\/p&gt;&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;9d46eec5-1784-4ce6-8c61-2a9bf9cb8a90&quot;},{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.TextBlockElement&quot;,&quot;html&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;So they\u2019re not without a chance, South Africa, especially considering that the light has been deteriorating shortly after tea each day.

He\u2019s had a miserable run with the bat lately, he\u2019s the kind of player who can\u2019t help playing shots, and he does so here. Matt Renshaw comes back on, and once again the move by Cummins works. Just a normal ball skidding on outside the off stump, but Verreyne can\u2019t help playing a wristy little back cut kind of shot, a circular motion of the blade trying to flash the ball away, and all he achieves is an edge into the waiting hands of Smith. Another catch to take Smith\u2019s record tally to

Australia have bossed Renshaw\u2019s Match so far, but it still has the slender chance to become Markram\u2019s Match. He\u2019s still there, that\u2019s why. Here is the equation, in dot point form:&lt;\/p&gt;&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;84127643-73e7-47c8-ae61-f1a29cd063e0&quot;},{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.TextBlockElement&quot;,&quot;html&quot;:&quot;&lt;ul&gt;\\n &lt;li&gt;\\n  &lt;p&gt;South Africa need 319 further runs on the last day to win.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/li&gt;\\n &lt;li&gt;\\n  &lt;p&gt;That\u2019s unlikely.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/li&gt;\\n &lt;li&gt;\\n  &lt;p&gt;One of the reasons it\u2019s unlikely is that they are already four wickets down.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/li&gt;\\n &lt;li&gt;\\n  &lt;p&gt;Aiden Markram and Wiaan Mulder are good, but they don\u2019t have enough backup to take on a chase that size.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/li&gt;\\n &lt;li&gt;\\n  &lt;p&gt;Therefore Australia need six wickets to win.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/li&gt;\\n &lt;li&gt;\\n  &lt;p&gt;But cricket has another option.

Australia\u2019s victory brooked not a solitary argument.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-i9zbi8\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/oct\/13\/south-africa-v-australia-first-test-day-five-durban-kingsmead-cricket-ground-live-updates&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-6ace14e58f0811efce0fe362&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-6ace14e58f0811efce0fe362&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Australia beat South Africa by 214 runs: first men\u2019s cricket Test, day five \u2013 as it happened&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:12,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Australia beat South Africa by 214 runs: first men\u2019s cricket Test, day five \u2013 as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/oct\/13\/south-africa-v-australia-first-test-day-five-durban-kingsmead-cricket-ground-live-updates?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ace14e58f0811efce0fe362#block-6ace14e58f0811efce0fe362\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-6ace14378f0874762783cf36\" class=\"block dcr-wo4zmo\">\n<header class=\"dcr-dm96fu\">\n<h2 class=\"dcr-1pxv6ha\">WICKET!

He\u2019s been majestic in this innings, bowling with surgiacl precision, and he\u2019s just taken out Marco Jansen with a beauty. Jansen pushed forward defensively at a good-length delivery that seamed through the gate to hit the top of the stumps. The gap between bat and pad was slightly too big but it was still a terrific piece of bowling.

Pitch is taking a lot of spin now and the scoreboard pressure when bowling second could have largely benefited the two spinners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">A huge amount, is the answer. South Africa would have groaned when the coin came down for Pat Cummins and he chose to bat. Two spinners, you want to bowl last. Renshaw played them so well on day two when there wasn\u2019t much going for them. Later in the piece\u2026 well, Renshaw has 2 for 27, so that tells you something.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">They would expected more turn earlier in the game, but the surface hasn\u2019t deteriorated much. I\u2019d like to see people being less averse to choosing spin: nobody says it\u2019s wild for a team to pick three quicks. And if your spinners are good enough, they can bowl at any time of the match, they just have to adapt their approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">I don\u2019t think it\u2019s all about two spinners, either. Maharaj would have played had it been one spinner, and he went none-for in the first innings at four an over, and a couple of lucky poles second time around at six an over. That\u2019s an issue of your premier spinner not having an effect, not selection. Lyon hasn\u2019t had much effect for Australia yet, either, though he\u2019s looked more threatening than Maharaj.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-i9zbi8\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/oct\/13\/south-africa-v-australia-first-test-day-five-durban-kingsmead-cricket-ground-live-updates&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-6acdfee88f0837dbba0e2819&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-6acdfee88f0837dbba0e2819&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Australia beat South Africa by 214 runs: first men\u2019s cricket Test, day five \u2013 as it happened&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:12,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Australia beat South Africa by 214 runs: first men\u2019s cricket Test, day five \u2013 as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/oct\/13\/south-africa-v-australia-first-test-day-five-durban-kingsmead-cricket-ground-live-updates?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6acdfee88f0837dbba0e2819#block-6acdfee88f0837dbba0e2819\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<aside data-ad-slot=\"true\" class=\"ad-slot-container ad-slot-desktop dcr-73ci1u\"\/>\n<article id=\"block-6acdfe288f08741d63f9bedf\" class=\"block dcr-wo4zmo\">\n<header class=\"dcr-dm96fu\">\n<h2 class=\"dcr-1pxv6ha\">Lunch &#8211; South Africa 166-6, trying to hold on for a draw<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The runs target of 421 would require another 255, but that\u2019s not going to happen.

Not a great delivery but it starts on middle and leg, then a bit of reverse takes it further away. So by the time Mulder tries to glance it, he only gets a feather of an inside edge.
