Australia end day two on 494-7

Australia end day two of the third Test against South Africa on 494-7 after rain stopped play in Cape Town.

Australia have ended day two of the third Test against South Africa on 494-7 after rain stopped play in Cape Town.

Michael Clarke in on course for a double century in the match after the right-hander made 161 not out.

The tourists went into lunch in command of the Test after dominating the morning session to reach 434-4.

Shane Watson (40) became the first batsman to fall in the session. Jean-Paul Duminy tempted the 32-year-old into going for a six, but a mistimed swing allowed Hashim Amla to make the catch.

The same combination saw Australia lose their sixth wicket of the match, as Duminy claimed his third dismissal of the game to oust Brad Haddin (21) in the 126th over.

Ryan Harris (4) remains at the crease to partner Clarke ahead of day three.
