Graeme Smith was the other man not out on two, but the captain was unable to bat after he retired hurt with a broken finger in his right hand.
The hosts were also left 15 runs short of avoiding the follow on, but Ponting opted not to reinsert them.
Instead, the tourists came out on a mission with Katich and Hughes raising the half-century stand in just 66 balls, before the former tried to angle a Jacques Kallis delivery down to third man, but was excellently snapped up by Paul Harris at gully leaving Australia at 91 for one at lunch.
Resuming after the break, Hughes brought up his third consecutive Test fifty, followed by Ponting.
The Australian captain then reached another milestone when he lifted Steyn over midwicket for four - overtaking Steve Waugh’s 10,927 career runs to become the fourth highest run scorer in the game - before his side dominated their hosts and edged closer towards a series win.
