South Africa Vs Australia Live Score, 2nd Test Day 4 (October 21): South Africa look to dominate the 4th day against Australia in the second Test, to give a shot at levelling the series 1-1, after the rain interruptions have reduced the chances of an outright result. Australia will resume play from 3/1 as Nic Maddinson got out for a duck on Tuesday, while Travis Head and Scott Boland stayed not out overnight. South Africa had a remarkable day on Tuesday. At one point, the South African team was struggling at 97/5, and lost the 6th wicket on 110. However, Marco Jansen's counterattack turned the match on its head, giving South Africa a chance to stage a comeback, and the team grabbed it with both hands. Temba Bavuma scored a brilliant 179, also his career best, to help South Africa declare on 425/9. Jansen scored 82 before getting out. Scott Boland remained Australia’s standout bowler, claiming five wickets. After declaring, Kagiso Rabada dismissed Nic Maddinson for a duck, leaving Australia struggling at 3/1 at stumps. The hosts enjoy a 422-run lead and will look to bundle out Australia quickly to force a result.
