Mitchell Starc took four wickets in six balls to cap an Australian fightback on the first day of the third Test against South Africa at Newlands on Tuesday.

Starc finished with six for 72 as South Africa were bowled out for 329 shortly before the close in a match to decide a series between the two leading Test nations. South Africa started the day with a dominant batting display after Australian captain Pat Cummins won the toss and sent them in on a pitch which looked good for batting.
