“We were convinced it was out,” Anrich Nortje said bluntly.
Nortje dismissed David Warner in the first session, allowing the Proteas to take control after Pat Cummins chose to baton winning the toss.
Khawaja finished on 54 not out, with play called off the final time the moment Labuschagne was dismissed by a peach from Nortje that straightened off the surface and bounced just enough to find the edge. That unfussy approach has worked wonders for Nortje, who bowled a great spell at Warner in the Melbourne Test last week, regularly registering speeds around the 150km/h mark.
