Quinton de Kock hits 107 to put South Africa in control against Australia

Quniton de Kock smashes a quickfire 107 to help South Africa to 280-6 in their one day international with Australia in Sydney.

Quinton de Kock's 107 has put South Africa in a commanding position in their one-day international against Australia in Sydney as they reached 280-6 in their 50 overs.

The tourists began in solid fashion, but Hashim Amla was coaxed in by a teasing Glen Maxwell delivery that saw him caught behind in the 10th over

Shortly afterwards, de Kock reached his 50 off just 55 balls and steadied the ship with Rilee Rossouw.

Despite the dismissal of Rossouw, the 21-year-old went on to secure his sixth ODI ton in the 38th over and although, he was eventually dismissed 12 balls later, the damage had already been done.

Farhaan Behardien smashed a quick 63 to take the Proteas to 250 and beyond.
