Bowlers put Australia in control of first test after Mitchell Marsh falls for 96 GERALD IMRAYGALLO IMAGES/GETTY IMAGES Nathan Lyon dives to take a caught and bowled to remove South African opener Dean Elgar on day two of the first test at Kingsmead. AB de Villiers, possibly starting his last test series, was 71 not out and a class above the other South Africans. Elgar was beaten by turn to spoon a catch back to Lyon, who took it two-handed diving to his right. Despite that personal disappointment, his innings lifted Australia to a solid first total of the four-match series, and a total that evolved into a dominant one after the Australia bowlers made their presence felt. If Rabada had taken the sharp catch down near his ankles as he followed through, Australia would have slipped to 244-7 and Marsh would have been neutralized.
