After winning the first Test rather unconvincingly, Australia are taking on South Africa in the Boxing Day Test at the iconic MCG.
Aussie skipper Pat Cummins opted to bowl first after winning the toss and the decision paid off immediately as the visitors were bundled out for a paltry 189.
Despite resistance from Kyle Verreynne (52) and Marco Jansen (59), Cameron Green ripped through their middle order and bagged his maiden 5-wicket haul.
But the real talk of the town was Marnus Labuschagne, who took a stunning diving catch to shock Khaya Zondo.

In the 29th over of the innings. Mitchell Starc bowled a full and wide delivery and Zondo tried to steal a boundary on the off side. He failed to keep the ball on the ground and Labuschagne took full advantage of it. The Aussie stationed at short mid off dived to his left and took a stunner to dismiss Zondo.
Apart from that acrobatic work in the field, Labuschagne also inflicted a run-out when he hit the bulls eye to remove Dean Elgar early in the innings.
At stumps, Australia are at 45, losing the solitary wicket of Usman Khawaja for 1.
