AFP, Adelaide :
Usman Khawaja top scored with 145 to help give Australia a healthy 124-run first innings lead over South Africa on the third day of the third day-night Test in Adelaide on Saturday.The Australians were dismissed for 383 at tea, with the last four wickets adding 100 runs to put the home side in command.
Khawaja’s 308-ball vigil finally came to an end 30 minutes into the third day when he was trapped leg before wicket by Vernon Philander.
The unflappable left-hander occupied the crease for 466 minutes after he was forced to hurriedly open the innings after a miscalculation over David Warner’s time off the field for injury treatment when the Proteas declared.
