South Africa Dominate at Newlands: Mulder and Rickelton Centuries Leave Australia With a Mountain to Climb

A burst after tea gave the visitors some reward, but the day still belonged to the home side and set up an intriguing tussle for Saturday. South Africa's batsmen made Australia work hard and kept them in the field for spells without allowing them to seize control.
