Facing Nortje on 98, Renshaw leaned into a full delivery and worked it sweetly wide of long-on for four, letting out an ecstatic roar before taking off his helmet with open arms. He reached three figures off 204 balls with 10 boundaries, and his gritty hundred has shifted the pressure firmly back onto South Africa as Australia eye the 300-run mark in the extended second session.End of third session: At stumps Day 1, Australia: 187/6At 3:23 PM local time, with Mitchell Starc (11*) and Cummins (22*) in the middle of an unbeaten 19-run stand, umpires summoned the light meters following a sharp Jansen bouncer. With the overhead gloom showing no sign of clearing and ground staff quickly rolling out the pitch covers at 3:56 PM, play was officially abandoned for the day.Because play is already set for an early start, play will resume at the scheduled morning time, with additional time built into the afternoon session to make up for lost overs:Session 1: 09:30 – 11:30 SAST (13:00 – 15:00 IST / 18:30 – 20:30 AEDT)Session 2 (Extended): 12:10 – 14:40 SAST (15:40 – 18:10 IST / 21:10 – 23:40 AEDT)Session 3: 15:00 – 17:00 SAST (18:30
