Bavuma’s and Jansen’s 106-Run Stand Sparks South Africa Fightback vs Australia

  • On Tuesday, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma and all-rounder Marco Jansen staged a record-breaking 106-run seventh-wicket partnership, taking the Proteas to 216-6 at lunch on day three of the second Test against Australia in Gqeberha.
  • Mitchell Starc claimed his 450th Test wicket early Tuesday, dismissing Wiaan Mulder to leave the Proteas struggling at 110-6 before Jansen and Bavuma shifted the momentum.
  • Bavuma provided stability with 76 not out after facing 189 balls, while Jansen struck 72 off 71 balls to help South Africa recover from their overnight position of 97-5.
  • Seamer Josh Hazlewood remained unavailable to bowl during the first session after falling ill on Monday, limiting Australia's ability to contain the pair early in the day.
  • Australia currently leads the series 1-0 following last week's victory in Durban, and a win at St George's Park would threaten South Africa's World Test Championship defense.
