Keshav Maharaj - Proteas staring down the barrel ahead of final day at Kingsmead

Loading player...
The pressure is firmly on the Proteas heading into the fifth and final day of the first Test against Australia at Kingsmead in Durban, with South Africa facing an uphill battle to avoid defeat.
The Proteas require a further 319 runs to pull off an unlikely victory, but cricket is a funny old game, and Kingsmead has witnessed its fair share of dramatic finishes over the years. While the odds are firmly stacked against the hosts, they will need to show plenty of grit, patience and determination if they are to force a remarkable result.
Australia, however, are firmly in the driving seat and need just six wickets to secure a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series.
With the Proteas' hopes of saving the Test resting heavily on their batting application, spinner Keshav Maharaj admitted after play that Renshaw had been a thorn in South Africa's side throughout the match.
