Stats highlights from the first day's play in Hobart:
111 - Matches since South Africa played a Test without both AB de Villiers and Dale Steyn, last one being against India in Kolkata in November 2004. The pair made their debut against England in Port Elizabeth in December 2004 and together featured in 80 of the 111 Tests since.
5 - The number of times Australia has been bowled out for less than 100 in a home Test since World War II; 85 is their second-lowest total at home in the first innings of a Test since 82 against West Indies in Adelaide in 1951 .
197 balls faced by Australia is the second-fewest for them in an all-out innings at home since World War II after 188 balls against West Indies in Perth in 1984 .
56.47 - Percentage contribution by Steve Smith in Australia first innings - 48 out of 85. It is the fifth-lowest ever for a batsman in a sub-100 total and second-highest for an Australia captain after Graham Yallop's 61.11% (121 out of 198) against England at the SCG in 1979 .
85 - Australia's third-lowest total against South Africa in Tests after 47 in Cape Town in 2011 and 75 in Durban in 1950. The previous lowest for them at home against the same opposition was 111 at the SCG in 1994 when they were chasing 117 for win in the fourth innings.
2 - Runs scored by the Australian openers is the joint-lowest for them in a home match since the Perth Test against West Indies in 1997 when
Mark Taylor and Matthew Hayden aggregated two runs .
37 - Years since an Australian batsman was run out in the first innings of their Test debut before Callum Ferguson today. The last player to do it was Julien Wiener against England in Perth in 1979.
8 - Runs at which Australia lost their fourth wicket, fourth-lowest for them in a Test and the lowest-ever in the first innings of a Test. Thrice they were 7 for 4 - all against England - in Manchester in 1888 , at the Oval in 1896 and in Brisbane in 1936 .
2 - Instances of Australia losing half their side for 17 runs or fewer in the last 80 years. They were 17 for 5 today and the previous instance also came against South Africa when they lost first five wickets for 15 in Cape Town, en route 47 all out.
1 - Philander's first five-wicket haul in his last 21 Tests, last one coming against Pakistan in Capetown in February 2013. At that point of time, he had nine fifers in just 15 Tests and averaged 16.81 per wicket.
15 - Wickets falling in the first day's play - the most in a day's play in Hobart. 13 wickets fell in the first-ever day's play here in the match
between Australia and Sri Lanka in 1989 . It has happened twice since - during third day's play between hosts and New Zealand in 1993 and again in the match against West Indies in 2005 .
86 - South Africa's lead at the close of play, the fourth-most for them at the end of first day's play. They had a lead of 286 and 207 against Zimbabwe and New Zealand in 2005 and 2013 respectively, both in Cape Town and 147 against India in Ahmedabad in 2008 .
