A day full of runs for Australia as they scored 328 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Australia have taken full control of this match. It was a day to remember Steve Smith who got his 30th test century and Usman Khawaja who got to his 13th test century. Khawaja is still unbeaten and is 5 away from a well-deserved double-century.
The day started with the Proteas bowling well and putting pressure on Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja, but they couldn't pick up any wickets. Smith and Khawaja absorbed the pressure and once they found their rhythm there was no stopping them as they punished the Proteas bowlers and piled on the runs as they reached an already massive total of 475 and don't look like they will stop there as they will look to bat an hour or 2 tomorrow and add to their score.
The Proteas seem to have been batted out of this match and it looks like they are heading for another huge defeat at the hands of the Aussies to start off 2023. The Proteas will hope their batsman comes good and put up a good performance which gives them a chance to draw the match.
