11:47 Local Time, 09:47 GMT, 15:17 IST: The session belonged to Matt Renshaw. He’s played a magnificent knock to bail Australia out of trouble and is now steering them towards a competitive total. 90 runs | 30.4 overs | 2 wickets. Cummins and Renshaw continued in the same vein as they did yesterday, rotating the strike and collecting the odd boundary. They looked comfortable until Wiaan Mulder was brought into the attack. He broke the 96-run stand and followed it up by cleaning up Starc. At that stage, South Africa had a real chance of bowling Australia out for under 250, but Renshaw stood firm at one end, with Lyon providing good support. The pair have added 47 for the ninth wicket, with Renshaw bringing up his second Test century in the process. Can they push Australia past 300? That would be a handy total given where they were earlier. Or will South Africa wrap up the final two wickets quickly? Join us in 35 minutes for the post-lunch session..
