Du Plessis remain unbeaten on 78 and completed crucial partnerships of 57 with Robin Peterson (31) and 64 with Vernon Philander (28) to rescue his team from 75 for 6 after winning the toss and choosing to bat.

Aussies 1st innings reply to the visitors also started badly as they reached 33 for 2 before stumps, with David Warner unbeaten on 12 and night watchman Nathan Lyon not out at 5, who came in as Watson’s wicket fell.
