March 5 (CRICKETNMORE) - Australia need just one wicket to register victory in the first test. South Africa were hanging on at 293 for nine, still 124 runs short of a target of 417, when bad light stopped play on 4th day of the first test at Durban. 

Earlier, Proteas’ opener Aiden Markram struck a magnificent century on Sunday, his third test century and by far his most prestigious.
