The 50 partnership comes up, and Morkel finally gets the wicket of Siddle...273-9 now.
Morkel also ends with three wickets, as he wraps up the Aussie innings for 284.
We will soon find out how good a score that is....

What's happening here? I go away for a couple of hours, and when I come back, Australia are batting already! And to top it off, 13 wickets have fallen since I've been away....
Watson takes a five-fer and Harris four wickets to dismiss South Africa for a paltry 96 all out, and now Philander takes three wickets, while Steyn and Morkel share the other three, to have the Aussies reeling on 18-6!

THis innings, Philander has taken five wickets for just nine runs! This must rank as one of the greatest Test debuts for a bowler....

They still have a good lead if this pitch continues to play like this.
