'Really important that we get the lead' - Josh Inglis after century puts AUS in command during third Test vs SA

Josh Inglis stepped into the Australian lineup as a late replacement for Steve Smith during the third Test against South Africa and compiled a brilliant 102 off 135 deliveries. His crucial knock anchored a first-innings total of 429 all out, which surpassed South Africa's opening effort of 329 and secured a vital 100-run advantage for the tourists.

Inglis shared a massive fifth-wicket partnership worth 185 runs alongside Alex Carey, who contributed 80 to the stand. By stumps on the third day of the series decider, South Africa had moved to 140 for 4 in their second essay, holding a narrow lead of 40 runs.
