South Africa showcased an extraordinary comeback against Australia, spearheaded by Marco Jansen's remarkable bowling performance. On day four of the second Test in Gqeberha, the Baggy Greens crumbled to just 99 runs, forcing them to follow on.

Jansen's figures of 5-33 were pivotal, complementing his earlier batting effort of 85 runs off 100 balls. He received crucial support from Kagiso Rabada (2-33) and all-rounder Wiaan Mulder (2-14), as the Proteas dismissed Australia in a mere 42.4 overs.

In their first innings, South Africa declared at 425/9, establishing a massive 326-run lead. The Australian batting lineup struggled, with Steve Smith top-scoring at a mere 28 runs, while opener Nic Maddinson and wicketkeeper Alex Carey were among five batters out for single figures.

This innings marked a significant shift in momentum, primarily driven by South African captain Temba Bavuma, who transformed the innings from 110-6 to 425-9 with an impressive 179 runs off 334 balls. The Proteas aim to level the series after suffering a 214-run defeat in the first Test.

In a related note, former Australia batter David Warner criticized the low attendance at the Test matches in South Africa, calling it "pathetic" and questioning the support for Test cricket. He emphasized the need for fans to engage with the sport, stating, "Empty stands, no atmosphere, and we're supposed to believe the format is thriving?" Warner's comments highlight ongoing concerns about the future of Test cricket in the region.
