He and captain Pat Cummins put on 86 for the seventh wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Even so, an early end to the innings seemed likely when the eighth wicket fell in the second over with the second new ball with the total on 230.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But Nathan Lyon (27) supported Renshaw in a ninth wicket partnership of 134 &ndash;- a record for Australia in Tests against South Africa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But the left-handed Renshaw played an almost flawless innings, taking most of the strike, while Lyon was content largely to defend on a pitch which had lost much of its life since Australia were reduced to 124 for six on the first day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Renshaw&#39;s only previous Test century was 184 against Pakistan in Sydney in 2016\/17. He has had two lengthy periods out of the Test team but was recalled for Australia&#39;s previous Test against Bangladesh in August.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-special\">Special Cricket Stories<\/a><\/p><p>He batted for 468 minutes, faced 397 balls and hit 21 fours and a six.<\/p>\r\n",
