You probably call this a scandal.

I think if you had given me 330 on Day 1 at Newlands after being put in to bat. I'd be laughing at Aus. But unfortunately context matters. And us being 203/1 to being bowled out before the close of play.. I'd say Aus are laughing at us.

Gotta rely on those stats of the par on day one at Newlands being 279/7 😂

I said it last test

From dominating the initial part of the game to now surviving until the end of the day. Guess this is why it's called test cricket.

Great catch Hazlewood!

2 short balls and he's gone.

Batted Bedders!

Well, now it's 1-1

Proteas batsmen lacking the positivity they had earlier in the day, making the Aussies look like a different team in 2nd session. Lack of intent just builds pressure. Proteas will be kicking themselves from looking like getting 370+ on Day one to probably getting closer to 300.

The switch in batting tactics after Ackerman went out has given the Aussies a huge sniff here. We should have stayed on the front foot.

If there was a time for Breetzke to score runs, it's today on the N2 in Newlands.

1 brings 2 as they say

Another 100 escapes Markram after doing all the hard work.

Ackerman will be frustrated with the way he went out. But that was a very good innings, really put the Aussies under pressure.

Ackerman going straight back to it after lunch. Love it.

Letting Mick Lewis bowl his 10 overs in 2006 surely has to be up there too?

Yeah, good. As it should.

Safe to say I think the Proteas won that session.

Ackerman has been immense
