Image Source: twitter[/caption] Internet Desk: It was a remarkable fight back from the Proteas, with Vernon Philander's 4/56 the pick of the bowling. It was Philander’s inspiring spell of fast bowling that restricted Australia to 244 runs. South Africa at Stumps on Day 2 was 104/2 in their second innings with a lead of 102 runs. The visitors suffered a huge setback as Dale Steyn was ruled out of the series with a fractured bone in his shoulder. Australia resuming at 105/0 were bundled out for 244 runs, which meant Steve Smith and his team took a slender lead of 2 runs. At one stage the hosts were 158/0. They lost all their wickets for just 86 runs. David Warner and Shaun Marsh got through the initial burst relatively untroubled. The Proteas got the first breakthrough when Dale Steyn got the dangerous looking Warner caught by Hashim Amla at slips for 97 runs. The Proteas fast bowling spearhead lasted just an over after that as he was off the ground with an injury. At that moment, it looked like South Africa were facing a long, tough Test match, but a couple of quick wickets gave a renewed sense of hope. First Kagiso Rabada had Usman Khawaja clean bowled for four, before debutant Maharaj had Aussie captain Steve Smith trapped LBW for 0. It was a controversial moment as Smith came running down the wicket to the left-arm spinner. He missed the ball, was hit on the pads and umpire Aleem Dar surprisingly gave Smith out. The skipper reviewed immediately, but the decision stood as an irate Smith stormed off the pitch and Maharaj celebrated his first Test wicket. Then it was Philander, also far better than he was on Thursday, who got on the board and it was also a crucially important moment as Marsh was trapped LBW for 63 just before lunch. At lunch, the Aussies were 181/4. It didn't get much better for them in the second session when Mitch Marsh was trapped LBW by Philander for 0. It looked like Adam Voges and Peter Nevill were well on their way to getting things back on track, but then Rabada had the dangerous Voges caught and bowled for 7. Maharaj had Mitchell Starc out for 0 in the next over and at that stage, the Aussies had lost seven wickets for 45 runs. The spinner, in his 15th over on the bounce after Steyn left the field, then had Nevill caught bat-pad thanks to a fine catch from Amla at slip. Philander wrapped up the tail in fine fashion, removing Josh Hazlewood (4) and Nathan Lyon in quick succession. South Africa in their second innings are 104/2. They had lost Stephen Cook (11) and Hashim Amla (1) while Dean Elgar (46*) and JP Duminy (34*) were looking solid at the crease.
