South Africa take 300-run lead over England eNCA
South Africa's Quinton de Kock hits a six during the third day of the first Test cricket match between South Africa and England at The SuperSport Park stadium at Centurion near Pretoria on December 28, 2019.PRETORIA - South Africa extended their lead over England to 300 runs as they reached 197-7 at lunch in their second innings on the third day of the first test at Centurion Park, looking to set an imposing target for the tourists.
Test debutant Rassie van der Dussen, who made 51, and nightwatchman Anrich Nortje, eventually out for 40, combined for a 91-run fifth wicket partnership after South Africa had begun the day on 72-4 with a 175-run lead. Van der Dussen and Nortje, who had batted at No. 11 in the first innings but in no way looked like a tailender, survived two reviews, several run out chances and some hostile bowling with Nortje taking a nasty blow to the ribs.
