Khawaja put on stands worth 137 with Steve Smith (59) and 99 with debutant Peter Handscomb (54). Kyle Abbott was once again the pick of the visitors' bowlers taking 3 for 38 from his 25 overs, showing the kind of fight Faf du Plessis did on the opening day of the contest when he struck an unbeaten 118.
