All-rounder Cameron Green took five wickets for Australia as they bowled out South Africa for 189 on day one of the second Test at Melbourne.<\/span><\/p>\n

David Warner then hit an unbeaten 32 as Australia reached 45-1 at stumps.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Green, 23, ended with career-best figures of 5-27, days after becoming the second most-expensive signing in IPL history last week when he joined Mumbai Indians for \u00a31.75m.<\/span><\/p>\n

England’s Sam Curran<\/span> was bought by Punjab Kings for \u00a31.85m.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

“That’s cricket summed up,” said Green. “You can have a really slow start to the summer and think cricket’s so tough and then you have a few days like this, and it brings you back. It’s a very special feeling.”<\/span><\/p>\n

After winning the toss and choosing to bowl Australia reduced South Africa to 67-5 before a battling 112-run partnership between Kyle Verreynne and Marco Jansen.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Green removed both batters in successive overs – Verreynne caught at slip for 52 and Jansen caught behind for 59 – before bowling Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi in a devastating spell, as the Proteas lost their last five wickets for just 10 runs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rabada removed Usman Khawaja early in Australia’s reply but David Warner, in his 100th Test appearance, ended the day alongside Marnus Labuschagne, who is five not out.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The occasion was awesome, but unfortunately it wasn’t the best day for our team,” said Verreynne.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I felt it was probably the first time in the past couple of games that we had more soft dismissals than not, and that is probably the most disappointing thing.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Australia lead the three-Test series 1-0 after <\/span>beating South Africa inside two days<\/span><\/a> on a green and hostile Gabba pitch in the first Test in Brisbane last week.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
