That’s Stumps on Day 3, and a magnificent session for South Africa, who took control of the run chase, and require only a further 69 with eight wickets in hand. The momentum is firmly in their favour after a crucial partnership between Markram and Bavuma, who expertly steadied the innings following early setbacks. The Australian bowling attack struggled to find a breakthrough during this stand, despite Mitchell Starc’s efforts, who did manage to claim two important wickets earlier in the afternoon, but they went wicketless in the final session after now face an uphill task. Aiden Markram brought up his 8th Test Hundred, which is one of the most superb knocks of his career, late in the day. Join us tomorrow for Day 4. |
