South Africa took control on Day 1 of the first Test against Australia at Kingsmead in Durban, reducing the visitors to 187/6 before bad light ended play early. After Australia won the toss and elected to bat, the Proteas' disciplined bowling attack struck consistently, leaving the visitors in deep trouble at 124/6 before an unbeaten late partnership offered some resistance.
Marco Jansen, Wiaan Mulder, and Anrich Nortje claimed two wickets each to stifle Australia's top and middle order. Matt Renshaw (46 not out) and captain Pat Cummins (33 not out) mounted an unbeaten 63-run stand for the seventh wicket to steady Australia before play was called off after 65.2 overs.
