Australia will resume day three at 307-6, having started day two at 14-0 in reply to South Africa's 259-9 declared. Abbott said the pink ball wasn't swinging as prodigiously as the South Africans expected in their first day-night test match. But he credited Khawaja with "batting inside his bubble" and not letting the bowling attack penetrate. His almost seven-hour innings contained just 12 boundaries, including the cut off Tabraiz Shamsi to raise his fifth - and most important - century in 20 tests. The Pakistan-born batsman has been in and out of the Australia test team since his debut in 2011, but has the talent to be a long-term fixture of the top order in a rebuilding phase.
