With much of the attention on South Africa and ball-tampering case, Australian captain Steven Smith says he has managed to remain solely focused on what his side needs to achieve in Adelaide
3rd Test: Australia v South Africa at Adelaide
A day one crowd of 32,255 on a sensational night in Adelaide
South Africa 259/9dย Australia 14/0 (12.0 ov)
An intriguing day of day-night Test cricket. Whose day was it? We'll know only tomorrow, I guess. South Africa were led to 259 on the back of a sterling ton by cap'n Faf du Plessis, who was greeted by a round of boos as he walked out to bat. Then, a first-day declaration ensued. Australia's openers, though, were solid in reply and went through to stumps unscathed.
du Plessis scored 52 runs off 48 balls bowled by Starc, clinically punishing balls marginally over-pitched, down leg, or short
South Africa 259/9dย Australia 307/6 (102.0 ov)
Proteas head for stumps at 194/6, lead by 70
