Live: South African counter-attack stalls Aussie bowlers on day three

On day three of the second Test match between South Africa and Australia in Gqeberha, South Africa staged a strong counter-attack with the bat, resisting Australian bowling efforts. Mitchell Starc reached the milestone of taking his 450th wicket in Test cricket during the session. South African batsmen Temba Bavuma and Marco Jansen formed a resilient 106-run partnership, scoring 119 runs in the session while losing only one wicket. Meanwhile, Josh Hazlewood was restricted from bowling due to a prior absence caused by suspected poisoning, though he had recovered and was fielding. The article provided live updates on the match progress, including the status of players and the ongoing contest between the teams.
