Bulawayo, June 28 -- Teenage sensation Lhuan-Dre Pretorious posted South Africa's third-highest score on a debut during the first Test against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo on Saturday.

During the match, arriving at the crease at 23/3, a 19-year-old Lhuan displayed the maturity and temperament needed for a stage as big as international cricket. He smashed 153 runs in 160 balls, with 11 fours and four sixes, at a strike rate of 95.62.

This is the third-highest score by a South African on Test debut, with Jacques Rudolph (222* against Bangladesh in 2003) and Andrew Hudson (163 against West Indies in 1992) above him.

Earlier, Pretorious became the youngest South African (19-year, 93 days) to score a Test century during the match.
