Australia tour of South Africa 2026, 2nd Test, Day 5

Australia tour of South Africa 2026, 2nd Test, Day 5

Thu, Oct 22 CDT2:00 AM CDT

Thrilling Final Day Shootout in Gqeberha: The 2nd Test between South Africa and Australia arrives at its ultimate, dramatic climax on Day 5 at St George's Park in Gqeberha! Forced to follow-on after being bowled out for 99 in their first innings, Australia built a heroic second-innings fightback to reach 156/4—led by Travis Head's fighting 87 (138) and Marnus Labuschagne's 39 (98). Temba Bavuma's Proteas need just six second-innings wickets on a wearing track to wrap up a series-equalizing victory, while Pat Cummins' Aussies fight to bat out the final day or set a fourth-innings target. Stream every delivery, turning ball, and match-deciding wicket live on Willow by Cricbuzz via TrillerTV.

Ultimate Final-Day Showdown at St George's Park
Day 5 in Gqeberha brings the Test match to its absolute deadline. On a fifth-day pitch displaying deep footmarks, low bounce, and substantial turn, survival demands maximum concentration while bowlers hunt for rapid breakthroughs.

For South Africa, captained by Temba Bavuma, taking the remaining six Australian wickets as quickly as possible is the single goal. Backed by off-spinner Simon Harmer (2/47 in 18 overs), speedster Kagiso Rabada (2/30), Marco Jansen, and Wiaan Mulder, the Proteas look to break through Australia's lower order and force a series decider in Cape Town.

For Australia, skippered by Pat Cummins, nightwatchman Scott Boland (2*) and all-rounder Beau Webster (8*) carry the team's hopes alongside Steve Smith, Alex Carey, and Pat Cummins. The Aussies must fight through the morning session to erase the remaining deficit and construct a defendable fourth-innings lead.
