South Africa vs Australia 2018: 3rd Test, day 4, 5 things we learnt

#3 Nathan Lyon scalps no.300

Amidst all the gloom, Australia had something to cheer about

Only two days after Morne Morkel made headlines with his 300th Test scalp, Nathan Lyon achieved the same feat but under completely different conditions. Despite boasting a rather celebrated career, Lyon could not have had a worse day to reach the landmark, as most of the Aussies were sunk in gloom.

The off-spinner had Kagiso Rabada stumped to complete the feat, and is the sixth Australian to the landmark, aside from being the fifth off-spinner to achieve the tally. He led the players off the field at lunch but that's probably the most he would celebrate.
