Aus collapse despite great beginning

Steyn took four for 64 in 18 overs to help South     Africa bowl out Australia for 296 in reply to hosts’ first innings of 266. South Africa's second innings was cut short by bad light after just four balls with the hosts 0 without loss.

Australian openers Shane Watson and Phil Hughes earlier both scored 88 as the visitors soared to 174 for nought, before crashing in the afternoon session as South Africa's bowling improved considerably. Seamer Vernon Philander started the collapse when he forced Hughes to edge to first slip, where AB de Villiers held on to a sharp head-high catch.
