South Africa vs Australia 1st Test; Day 4 Review 'Smith in Doubt'

Menners reviews Australia's dominant fourth day in Durban, with Matt Renshaw delivering another outstanding performance with the bat and claiming his first Test wicket. Australia declared at 6/314 to set South Africa a target of 421, before Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins led a late collapse that left the hosts 4/102 at stumps.
The discussion covers Australia's aggressive batting approach, Nick Maddinson's quick-fire 48, Pat Cummins' explosive cameo and the concern surrounding Steve Smith after he failed a concussion test. With Australia needing six more wickets to secure a 1–0 series lead, Menners looks at what South Africa must do to make the final day competitive.
