South Africa Need 319 On The Final Day Of The Durban Test

South Africa need 319 more runs on the final day of the Durban Test after closing day four on 102 for 4. Australia declared their second innings on 314 for 6 and set a target of 421. Aiden Markram is 45 not out. Wiaan Mulder is on 5.

Matt Renshaw shaped the day at both ends. He made 82 in the second innings, having scored 190 in the first. Then he took his maiden Test wicket. Temba Bavuma was the man he removed.

Renshaw's 272 runs and a first Test wicket

Renshaw's two innings in Durban came to 272 runs. The 190 set up Australia's first innings of 390. The 82 took the lead beyond reach. ABC News reported that Keshav Maharaj ended the second innings knock with a caught and bowled. Renshaw top scored in both Australia innings.

His bowling arrived late in the evening. Bavuma edged a catch to short leg and went for 1. Both ABC News and wire reports recorded it as Renshaw's first wicket in Test cricket.

Australia declare 420 ahead

Australia made 390 in the first innings. South Africa answered with 284. The second innings was declared on 314 for 6 after 58 overs, a lead of 420. ABC News reported that Pat Cummins made 32 from 12 balls and that Beau Webster finished unbeaten on 39.

The declaration came at better than five an over. A wire report carried by The Nation credited Anrich Nortje with 2 for 56, including Nic Maddinson for 48 and Alex Carey for 24. The same report put Keshav Maharaj on 2 for 56 and had Marco Jansen removing Travis Head for 11.

Four down before the close

Four South Africa wickets fell before stumps.

• Ryan Rickelton 2, caught off Josh Hazlewood
• David Bedingham 46, lbw to Hazlewood
• Temba Bavuma 1, caught at short leg off Renshaw
• Tristan Stubbs 1, caught by Alex Carey off Cummins

Hazlewood finished the day with two wickets. Markram held the other end through it. ABC News put him at 115 balls for his 45 not out. Only he and Bedingham passed 20.

The equation at Kingsmead

South Africa resume with six wickets standing. Markram and Mulder are together. Australia need six of them on the fifth day. A full day remains for either result.

Steve Smith made 27 in Australia's second innings. ABC News reported that he did not take the field afterwards, having been struck on the helmet.

Thirty wickets have fallen in four days at Kingsmead. South Africa still need more than three times the runs they have made in this innings. Play resumes on Tuesday for the last day of the match.
