Australia's Glenn Maxwell
Proteas captain Faf du Plessis understandably chose not to enforce the follow-on despite his side holding a first innings lead of 267 after bowling the Australians out for 221, 20 minutes after lunch. Despite batting with a hairline fracture of his right thumb, he made a defiant 62 before being last man out. Paine wheeled around in discomfort and at the end of the over was assessed by the team physio before bravely playing on.
South Africa were 58 for one at tea, an overall lead of 325.
But wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock, standing up to the wicket, made an outstanding leg-side catch off the bowling of Vernon Philander to dismiss Khawaja. Australia's previous highest partnership on the tour was the 98-run opening stand between Warner and Bancroft in Port Elizabeth.
Aiden Markram struck a fourth Test century in just his 10th match to help South Africa reach 313/6 at stumps on day one of the fourth Test against Australia in Johannesburg.
Despite the gloomy and dark clouds hovering over Australian team's present and future, Cummins' exploits with the ball in this series have been something to rejoice about for Australian fans on an individual and personal level.
However, it took Cummins another six years and 134 days to become the same bowler he had promised to be as an 18-year old.
Yesterday belonged to Temba Bavuma who, after a sluggish start to his innings, peeled off an unbeaten 95 to assure himself of his place in South Africa's middle order.
Prices Hike : Petrol 4-yr High, Diesel All-Time High
He further said impact would be lesser if oil prices remain lower in the global market during April. The new prices of petrol have been set at Rs86 per litre and high speed diesel (HSD) at Rs96.45.

West Brom sink closer to drop with Burnley defeat
Burnley remain in seventh place - on course for a place in the Europa League, the tier below the European Champions League. Wood marked his recall with the second goal after 73 minutes as Burnley moved within two points of sixth-placed Arsenal.
Seamer Pat Cummins was comfortably the most effective bowler, recording excellent figures of 5-83 as he troubled the South African batsmen throughout the innings, but he was not backed up by his fellow bowlers.
The biggest problems for Australia were purely cricket-related.
It was only going to be hard for Burns and Renshaw, who are in the starting line-up because of banned ball- temperers Cameron Bancroft and David Warner, as they have never faced a ball in South Africa before. Both Burns and Renshaw had been batting in Brisbane on Tuesday, rushed to South Africa, and were in the Test team by Friday, and if that was flawless preparation for a Test then everyone would do it. The pair put on 52 for the fourth wicket, but Khawaja was superbly caught by De Kock having got a feather-edge down the leg-side to give Philander his third. Replays then showed that the Proteas wicket-keeper has been stung by a bee just moments before impact with the ball, which could have caused him to lose his bearings.
As the light faded, so did Australia's batting. Australia are careering toward an innings defeat in the fourth and final Test of a horrid series.
But depending on what you believe, miracles have happened around this time of year before.
Temba Bavuma (25) and Quinton de Kock (seven) will resume on the second morning, looking for a sizeable total on a wicket already taking turn and showing widening cracks as they seek a first home series win over Australia in nearly 50 years.
Burns went for 4, Renshaw for 8, and Handscomb for a duck as Australia sunk to 38-3.
