Renshaw’s Century Helps Australia Recover to 277-8 at Lunch on Day 2 Against South Africa – WTOP News
On Saturday, Matt Renshaw scored an unbeaten century at Kingsmead in Durban, helping Australia reach 277-8 at lunch on day two of the first Test against South Africa.
Australia struggled on the opening day, falling to 124-6 before bad light forced play to stop early with the team at 187-6 overnight.
Renshaw struck 10 fours during his 218-ball innings, anchoring an 86-run partnership with captain Pat Cummins and adding an unbeaten 47 runs with Nathan Lyon.
Wiaan Mulder claimed figures of 4-51 for South Africa, while Nic Maddinson's 33-ball duck on Friday left Australia facing a selection dilemma.
This performance marks Renshaw's second Test century, coming nearly a decade after his first in 2017 against Pakistan, as he solidifies his role in Australia's middle order.
