Was he the first sth afr to score a ton in a session?
I'll give it to you ... you have worked very hard :p

First South Sfrican to score 100 runs from scratch in a session. He did in SA's second innings between tea and stumps.

However, in England in 1929 at Headingley Tuppy Owen-Smith went from 27* to 129* on the morning session of the 3rd day
