Australia (AUS) vs South Africa, 2nd test, Day1, Free Live Cricket Streaming
Both teams had named their XIs on Christmas Day. Australia made only one change, replacing the offspinner Jason Krejza with Nathan Hauritz. Peter Siddle retained his spot ahead of Ben Hilfenhaus. There was some concern over Andrew Symonds’ knee but it evidently wasn’t serious enough to warrant a replacement.

The third day ends with Australia holding the advantage. They began the day with the upperhand and took the last two South African wickets to secure a lead of 94. South Africa’s bowlers, however, fought back and struck at regular intervals. They had succeeded in restoring the balance by reducing the hosts to 4 for 88 and 7 for 162 but this unbeaten 66-run stand between Haddin and Krejza has taken the lead past 300. Nine wickets have fallen on each of the first three days

ANDREW Symonds began to restore his own credibility and Australia’s flagging fortunes before holing out on a wildly fluctuating opening day of the first Test in Perth.
Katich was heading for a fifth century in 10 Tests following his remarkable restoration as an opening batsman in the West Indies mid year but missed a low full toss from the towering Morne Morkel (2-62) bowling around the wicket and was lbw for 83.
The powerful Queens-lander made 57 from just 68 balls then skied spinner Paul Harris to wide long-on as Australia’s middle and lower order pushed the team total to a surprisingly healthy 9-341 at stumps.
