South Africa Restricts Australia to 187/6 on Day 1 of Durban Test
On Day 1 of the first Test between South Africa and Australia in Durban, South Africa's fast bowlers, including Marco Jansen, Wiaan Mulder, and Anrich Nortje, dominated to restrict Australia to 187 for six. Australia recovered from 124 for six with a resilient unbeaten 63-run partnership between Matt Renshaw (46 not out) and captain Pat Cummins (33 not out). Play ended early due to bad light and rain. Notably, Nic Maddinson returned to Test cricket but was dismissed without scoring after a lengthy innings.
