Marco Jansen's Five Wickets Lead South Africa to Enforce Follow-On Against Australia
On the fourth day of the second Test at St George's Park, Marco Jansen took five wickets as Australia was bowled out for 99, responding to South Africa's first innings total of 425-9 declared.
South Africa, having established a significant first innings lead of 326 runs, opted to enforce the follow-on despite the absence of fast bowler Anrich Nortje due to a groin injury. Jansen made an immediate impact, dismissing nightwatchman Scott Boland with his first delivery of the innings.
He continued to dismantle the Australian batting lineup, claiming the wickets of Travis Head, Matt Renshaw, Alex Carey, and Beau Webster. Steve Smith was the top scorer for Australia with 28 runs before being bowled by Wiaan Mulder. The match situation sees South Africa leading by 326 runs on the first innings.
