Elgar makes most of drop to notch Newlands ton

Elgar gets a life - Before a ball had been bowled in the series, Australia’s fielding coach Brad Haddin stressed the importance of his charges holding all chances that came their way against the star-studded South Africa batting lineup.But the tourists were left to rue a crucial fielding blemish when Nathan Lyon put down a simple chance just behind point from a Dean Elgar cut shot when the opener was on 53.The partnership with AB de Villiers was worth just nine runs at the time and the pair would go on to share a 128-run stand, while Elgar finished the day unbeaten on 121 as the rock amid the home side’s late collapse.
