Inspired bowling by left-arm paceman Mitchell Johnson put Australia on top on day two of the first Test against South Africa in Perth.
The 27-year-old took 7-42, his best figures in Tests, as the tourists stumbled from 234-3 to 243-8 at stumps.
Jacques Kallis and AB de Villiers both made 63 in a stand of 124 but Johnson then picked up five wickets in four overs to leave South Africa reeling.
Australia were all out for 375 earlier in the day, Makhaya Ntini taking 4-72.
The home side managed to add 34 to their overnight 341-9 before Ntini had last man Peter Siddle caught behind for 23, leaving Jason Krejza unbeaten on 30.
