A fine hand from Bavuma
Scott Boland's brilliance with the red cherry meant SA were 97/5 after two truncated days of play.
Bavuma, however, negated the Aussie bowlers well and started Day 3 unbeaten at 41*.
After Wiaan Mulder departed for 13, Bavuma finally found a potent partner in Jansen.
The duo added 132 runs before Jansen departed for 85. Meanwhile, the skipper continued to bat well and completed his hundred.
