Marco Jansen's counter-attacking half-century has batted South Africa back into the second Test against Australia, taking the Proteas to 6-216 at lunch on day three.
After Mitchell Starc took his 450th wicket to leave the Proteas 6-110 early on Tuesday morning, Jansen came out swinging hard at St George's Park.
The quick hit three big sixes to go to lunch unbeaten on 72 from 71 balls, with Temba Bavuma providing the main resistance of South Africa's innings with 76no.
The pair's 106-run stand came with Australia unable to use Josh Hazlewood, who has to wait until the second session to bowl after being off ill on Monday.
With the seamer unavailable and Nathan Lyon overlooked, Matt Renshaw bowled five overs of spin and Nic Maddinson one.
In a partnership between two of Test cricket's tallest and shortest men - with a 44 centimetre gap between them - the difference in batting approaches looked just as stark.
Bavuma left well and was the composed man of the Proteas' innings, holding it together across a difficult opening two days punctuated by long rain delays.
The South Africa captain got through 189 balls to lunch, after admitting his own decision making was poor in last week's 214-run loss to Australia in Durban.
Jansen, meanwhile, edged his first ball for four off Starc and was 13 by the end of that same over as he went from nicking through slips to driving through cover.
He hit Scott Boland (4-57) for a massive six over mid off and another down the ground off Renshaw that crashed into the commentary boxes.
Another came when he pulled Pat Cummins just over Cooper Connolly's head at square leg. More boundaries have come through the covers and down the ground.
The hard hitting came after Starc (2-62) had Wiaan Mulder caught in the slips with a brute of a ball that bounced and took the right-hander's glove and helmet on the way through.
It made Starc the 10th man to claim 450 Test wickets, after Boland had ripped through South Africa across the 43 overs available on the opening two days.
