Jansen's Five-Wicket Haul Leaves Australia Trailing in Second Test

GQEBERHA - ABC News reported that Australia was in trouble in the second cricket Test against South Africa, stumbling to 69-6 at lunch on day four. According to ABC News, South Africa's Marco Jansen had claimed four wickets to reduce Australia to that score at the break. The match is being played in Gqeberha.

The Guardian, reporting in a live blog, said Jansen's five-for had bowled Australia out for 99 and forced the tourists to follow on. The Guardian's headline said Australia trailed by 170 runs at 156-4 after the follow-on, and its summary said Head "stands alone" as Australia faced an innings defeat. The live report's byline named Geoff Lemon and Daniel Gallan. The Guardian's article is titled Australia bowled out for 99 and trail by 170 runs at 156-4 in its coverage of the match.

Elsewhere in the same live coverage, The Guardian recorded Australia at 22-2 in the ninth over, with Head on 14 and Labuschagne on 6. The summary does not say when the 156-4 position was reached, so the figures in the Guardian's report cover different moments of the match.

The sources differ in what they cover. ABC News reported the 69-6 position at lunch on day four, and The Guardian reported the 99 all out, but neither summary states how those two points relate to each other in the sequence of play. Readers should treat each figure as the score reported at the point named by its source.

BBC News published a scorecard for the match, with the headline "South Africa chase win over Australia on final day" in its listing. The BBC summary described the page only as the latest scorecard from the second Test in Gqeberha, and it does not give the result or the margin. The scorecard is available at the BBC scorecard page.
