It could have been even worse for Australia, with Lyon put down by JP Duminy in the last over of the day. The dropped chance, off the bowling of Wayne Parnell, blotted Duminy's copybook after the all-rounder had compiled 123 in his side's impressive score.

"According to him, he has felt as good as he has done for a long time - which is great."
