Rain denied Usman Khawaja a maiden double-century after a Steve Smith ton but Australia were in complete command of the third test against South Africa on Thursday, having made hay on a placid pitch for a second straight day.
Australia were 475 for four on day two when stumps came early at the Sydney Cricket Ground, with opener Khawaja on a career-high 195 not out and newly minted number six Matt Renshaw on five after coming out of his COVID-19 segregation.
