Its third for De Villers against the Aussies

South Africa v Australia, 3rd Test, Cape Town, 3rd day

Australia 209 and 102 for 2 trail South Africa 651 (de Villiers 162, Albie 58) by 340 runs
  • De Villiers' brilliant, brutal 163, which included four successive sixes off Andrew McDonald, was his third century in six consecutive Tests against Australia
  • Debutant Albie Morkel's 58 gave the bowlers ample time to try and wrap up the dead rubber
  • Phillip Hughes began Australia's second innings only to edge Harris to first slip
  • Steyn running in with the wind behind him, stymied runs and when Ricky Ponting nicked Steyn for 12 the South Africans were over the moon
  • Simon Katich and Michael Hussey batted the final hour resolutely
