| Third Test, Cape Town (day one, close): Australia 209 v South Africa 57-0 Match scorecard Coverage: Live on Sky Sports, live scorecard on BBC Sport website ![]() Four wickets from paceman Dale Steyn helped South Africa dismiss Australia for just 209 on the first day of the third and final Test. Simon Katich (55) and Brad Haddin (42) were the only Australian players to shine, who have already won the series. Steyn bowled 16 overs and finished with 4-56 and he was well supported by his team-mates, especially spinner Paul Harris who claimed figures of 3-34. In reply, South Africa ended the day on 57-0 in Cape Town. Australia, with a unassailable 2-0 lead, plodded along at the start with Phillip Hughes and Katich putting on an opening stand of 58 before Harris had Hughes (33) lbw in the 23rd over of the day. Ricky Ponting was next to fall, this time to Albie Morkel (1-44) who made the Australia captain edge to Mark Boucher. 606: DEBATE Will this be a win for South Africa Speed-merchant Steyn then got in on the act after lunch in a devastating spell that saw Michael Hussey (20) and Michael Clarke (duck) fall in successive overs. Former Durham man Hussey failed to defend adequately which resulted in the ball trickling on to his stumps before Clarke had his off stump clipped after facing a grand total of three balls. A bit of pride was restored when Katich was joined by Haddin. The pair stuck around for 20 overs before Katich, whose four-hour long 55 came off 160 deliveries, top edged Harris to Imraan Khan at mid-wicket. Australia then collapsed after tea, losing their last five wickets for just 51 runs, with only Mitchell Johnson showing typical Australia fight, hitting six fours on his way to 35. South Africa's reply began well with openers Khan and Ashwell Prince unbeaten at the close having scored 57This article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation |
