Century feat thrills Hughes

"It's a very special moment," Phillip Hughes said afterwards. "Something I'll never forget and I'm just really excited."

He added: "On Sunday, I thought Harris bowled beautifully into the rough, a few balls spitting here and there, and going everywhere really.

"I knew if I just kept going and batting there was a big one for the taking. I had to be very patient and just a few overs here and there sit on him. It was great.

"Every day is different and today I had to grind it out, tough it out. I was determined not to give it away after I got a start."

JP Duminy said: "We are a bit run down but we have the character to come back with a good performance on Monday.

"If we come out with a positive attitude, who knows what might happen. Gary Kirsten scored 275 here to save a Test against England and we have the capability to do that.

"We have the top five, and Mark Boucher, to cope with the situation."
