Australia require another six wickets to claim the first Test in Durban
Australia moved within six wickets of victory in the first Test in Durban after setting South Africa a mammoth fourth-innings target of 421. Matt Renshaw top-scored with 82 in Australia's rapid second-innings 314, before the bowling attack reduced the Proteas to four wickets down late on day four at Kingsmead Stadium.
The visitors' dominant day was tempered by an injury concern for Steve Smith, who suffered a head knock from an Anrich Nortje bouncer during his innings of 27. Smith did not take the field after tea and will be assessed over 24 hours, while Josh Hazlewood claimed two wickets and Renshaw took his maiden Test wicket.
