The pair shared a 114-run partnership for the third wicket, from 50 for two in the 15th over.

Mitchell Johnson (four for 34) proved a handful throughout for the South African batsmen, but the rest of the Australian bowlers struggled at times.

After winning his first toss off the series and electing to bat, Graeme Smith was sent on his way in the seventh over when he walked down the track to Johnson and edged a seaming delivery behind to Brad Haddin.

Herschelle Gibbs was next to go when he holed out to a good catch by James Hopes at deep midwicket off Nathan Bracken.

But in company with De Villiers, Kallis reached his 50 from 69 balls - and the latter soon followed at a marginally quicker tempo.

Brett Geeves grabbed a fortuitous breakthrough when Kallis (70) slammed a short and wide delivery straight to Hopes.

Johnson then removed De Villiers for 80 with a slower delivery that took a leading edge and was snapped up by Nathan Hauritz at mid-off.

After JP Duminy had smashed Johnson straight to Michael Hussey at cover, Mark Boucher and Albie Morkel plundered late runs.
