Lyon, who will be key to Australia’s hopes of triumph within their three-Test show against Southern Africa that begins on November 3, made a mockery of ground’s reputation for monster totals.

Expected to bat first by Henriques, the Queensland skipper hit six boundaries before coming unstuck against spin.

The left-hander’s tried brush lead to a skied advantage that wicketkeeper Peter Nevill gleefully accepted.

Lyon also had Marnus Labuschagne caught when you look at the deep, while he eliminated Jason Floros for a duck and Ben Cutting for eight.
