- The 233-run partnership between Shaun Marsh and Steven Smith was the third-best for any wicket in Tests in Centurion. The only higher ones are 301 by Herchelle Gibbs and Graeme Smith against West Indies in 2004, and 271 by Mark Boucher and Ashwell Prince for the sixth wicket against Bangladesh in 2008. In fact, the Marsh-Smith stand is the first 200-plus stand at this ground by an overseas pair; the previous-best was 183, by Jacob Oram and Daniel Vettori in 2006.
