Usman Khawaja departed for 145 after half an hour's play and Mitchell Starc (53) secured his seventh Test half century before South Africa's bowlers ran through the tail.

Australia resumed on 307 for six, having had their best day of batting in the series on Friday.

Khawaja had added just seven runs to his overnight 138 before his 466-minute innings was brought to a close when he was trapped leg before by Vernon Philander, a decision confirmed by the third umpire on review.

His erstwhile partner Starc continued to defy the Proteas bowlers and hit a straight four off Tabraiz Shamsi to bring up his 50 before chipping the ball straight back at Kagiso Rabada to depart caught and bowled immediately after drinks.

Nathan Lyon was next to depart after scoring 13 off eight balls, his attempt to sweep Tabraiz Shamsi resulting in the ball coming off his glove to give Hashim Amla a simple catch and the left-arm wrist spinner his first Test wicket.

Jackson Bird made six runs before he was caught in the cordon to bring an end to the innings 25 minutes before the scheduled tea break, leaving Josh Hazlewood 11 not out.

The tourists, who already hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, declared on 259-9 on day one.

But we've seen that he's struggled lately - but more when he's been tired," Goal.com quoted Solskjaer as saying. "He wasn't on long enough to be tired so I think it might have been something that just happened there and then. He's been absolutely top this season so we'll do everything we can to get him fit for Sunday. If he's not then we'll play without him," he added.
