Australia bowled out for 99

On day four of the second Test between South Africa and Australia at St George's Park, the Australian side were dismissed for 99 in reply to South Africa's first innings of 425-9 declared. The hosts thus gained a first-innings lead of 326 runs.

Jansen's five wickets

Tall left-armer Marco Jansen was the chief destroyer: he took five wickets for 33 runs. The first ball of the day brought him a wicket — nightwatchman Scott Boland was caught behind in the second over of the day. Jansen then sent back Travis Head, Matt Renshaw, Alex Carey and Beau Webster. Kagiso Rabada took 2-33, Wiaan Mulder 2-14.

Smith — Australia's top score

Steve Smith top-scored for Australia with 28 runs; according to AFP, he twice required medical attention for a suspected neck injury before being bowled by Wiaan Mulder.

Follow-on despite Nortje's injury

Despite fast bowler Anrich Nortje being ruled out of the game with a groin injury, South Africa enforced the follow-on. Australia had won the toss before the match.
