Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc reached his 450th career Test wicket during a match against South Africa at St George's Park in Gqeberha. Starc dismissed Proteas all-rounder Wiaan Mulder via a review after a sharp bouncer brushed the batter's glove before being caught by Matthew Renshaw at second slip.
