Starc's chance to make South African mark

He has never played red-ball cricket in the country, but after some time off recovering from a heel injury, he is raring to go

Starc bags four as Australians wrap up five-wicket win

As in the first innings, there were plenty of starts for the Australian batsmen in their chase of 140, but Peter Handscomb fell for another low score

Hendricks' five-for restricts Australians' lead to 109

Ten of the visiting batsmen got to or past 18, but only one - Pat Cummins at No. 8 - went on to score a half-century

Australian quicks sound warning ahead of SA Tests

A much anticipated series, at least for fans of fast bowling, kicked off in style as Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc began their South African odyssey by knocking over the A team for 220 in only 58.5 overs
