Mitchell Starc achieved the feat in his 109th Test, becoming the fastest bowler in history to reach 450 Test wickets in terms of balls bowled. He needed 20,577 deliveries, bettering the previous mark of 23,474 balls held by former Australia fast bowler Glenn McGrath.
The ball brushed Mulder’s glove before hitting his helmet and travelling towards first slip, where Matt Renshaw completed the catch. Australia appealed, and a review confirmed the glove contact after the on-field umpire initially remained unmoved.
Starc’s achievement places him fourth on Australia’s all-time list of Test wicket-takers. Shane Warne leads the chart with 708 wickets, followed by Nathan Lyon with 573 and McGrath with 563. Dennis Lillee completes the top five with 355 wickets.

Scott Boland provided Australia with another major boost, dismantling South Africa’s top order with his accuracy and movement. He removed Aiden Markram and David Bedingham in consecutive deliveries on the opening day, before continuing to trouble the hosts when play resumed.
“My game plan is pretty simple, I'm just trying to put the pressure on the batter as much as I can, get as many repeat balls in a good area, making them make tough decisions,” Boland said.
“I want to play every Test, but I probably know that's not 100% realistic, so I just want to be ready for whenever I get an opportunity,” he said.
