Prince century puts SA in charge

Ashwell Prince and Jacques Kallis scored centuries to take South Africa to 404 for three wickets at stumps on the second day of the third Test for a lead of 195 runs over Australia.Prince smashed 19 boundaries and two sixes to hit 150 in six hours for his 11th Test century. He was eventually out caught down the leg-side off Ben Hilfenhaus. Umpire Steve Bucknor, standing in his 128th and last Test, gave Prince not out, but the decision was overturned on referral by TV umpire Billy Bowden. Prince added 160 runs for the third wicket with Kallis, whose 102 not out represented his 31st Test hundred and his first since scoring 132 against India in Ahmedabad in April 2008. Kallis hit 14 fours and two sixes. Australia, who lead 2-0 in the three-match series, were bowled out for 209 in their first innings at Newlands on Thursday.
