Australia took complete control of the first Test in Durban on Day 3, bowling South Africa out for 284 to secure a 106-run first-innings lead. Steve Smith was sensational at slip, taking four catches to become the world record holder for Test catches, while Pat Cummins led the attack with three wickets. Australia finished the day at 0/33, extending their lead to 139 runs. Menners reviews South Africa's missed opportunities, Australia's dominant bowling performance and the strategy for Day 4, with Nick Maddinson finding some much-needed form late in the day.
