Mike Hussey lasted only nine balls before he attempted to leave one from Steyn outside the off-stump but the ball brushed the toe of the bat as he raised it and went comfortably through to wicketkeeper Mark Boucher.
It was the left-hander's third duck in his last five Test innings, and in the final over before tea, Ponting was caught off bat and pad prodding forward, a triumph for left-arm spinner Paul Harris, who had just moved Hashim Amla into the short-leg position.
When Andrew Symonds slashed wildly and was superbly caught two-handed by Kallis diving to his right at slip, the Australians were 223-5.
Key quote: ...the South Africans were intent on restricting the scoring and got their reward when the wicketkeeper drove away from his body and was smartly snaffled by Graeme Smith at first slip.
Just thought you'd like to know how the cricket matches were going.
