T.Koekemoer retired hurt in the Eastern Province first innings having scored 9 (team score 212-9, 75.3 overs). M.Marais scored 300* off 191 balls, the fastest triple hundred for which balls are definitely known (previously 221 balls by C.G.Macartney for the Australians v Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge in 1921, based on the reconstruction of this innings by Charles Davis). Marais’ 13 sixes in the innings equalled the record for South Africa. With B.C.Williams he added 428*, the best for the 5th wicket in South Africa (previously 393 by J.P.Duminy and D.J.Vilas for Cape Cobras v Lions at Paarl in 2015/16); it was the fifth highest stand for the 5th wicket in all first-class cricket, and the third highest stand for any wicket in South Africa. 390 South Africa in 2017/18
