Score150 - 4

M Morkel to Marsh, OUT! Wicket number 300 for Morne Morkel in Tests! He is absolutely delighted and gets mobbed by his teammates. A very ordinary shot attempted by Shaun Marsh. He did the hard work to survive the initial phase but has thrown away a start. Even Morkel will admit that it's not a wicket-taking delivery. But credit to him for playing on the batsman's patience. He lures Marsh into a shot to a delivery well wide outside off. The southpaw falls into the trap, goes chasing after it and gets a thick outside edge to de Kock. The crowd is ecstatic as the 78-run stand has been broken. Big moment for Morne as he joins the elite club. Australia trail by 161 runs.
