• South Africa scored 488 runs in the first innings
• Australia's 110 runs at 6 wickets at the end of the second day
• To avoid follow-on, 179 runs require tourists

The whole top order has changed to Australia in Johannesburg. Three of the players were dropped from the ball temp. They took their place to the new three. David Warner's replacement Joe Burns, Cameron Bancroft replaced Matt Rennes. And the best batsman of the Test, Steve Smith has to take the responsibility of Peter Handscombe!

The first two, however, are 4th and 8th respectively. Handscomb returned empty-handed, golden call! Usman Khawaja could not cover the horrific batting of three of the first four. As a result, the second day of the fourth Test Australia advanced by the side. The tourists are still 378 runs in 6 wiks,
38 runs lost 3 wickets in the beginning of the innings of the broken! Khawaja tried a little with Shaun Marsh on the fourth wicket. Another collapse of 52 runs was the result of Khawaja. Not 3 wickets in 6 runs Highest scorer Khawaja (53) has two marshals going back to the dressing room. Shawn, however, hinted at preventing 16 from 74 balls. Morne Morkel made just 4 runs before being bowled. Suddenly team pacer Tim Penn (5 *) will face tough tests tomorrow. Pat Cummins (7 *), with 5 wickets in his partner bowling. Vernon Philander has taken 3 wickets for 17 runs.
Earlier, Tambah Bawumar scored a solid 488 in South Africa. In the absence of his partner, he did not get his second Test century in the series, unbeaten 95 runs off the field. Apart from this, everything else is done. De Villiers scored 52 runs for the fifth wicket, with Quinton de Kock, 85 for the seventh wicket, and 76 runs with Keshab Maharaj for the ninth wicket, gave a day to forget Australia.
