South Africa Leads Australia by 102 Runs at Lunch on Day 4 of Third Cricket Test
Simon Harmer took four wickets as Australia slumped to 111 in the chase, leaving South Africa to seal the series and top the Test rankings.
- On Thursday, South Africa ended day three at Newlands at 140-4, leading by 40 runs, after off-spinner Nathan Lyon dismissed captain Temba Bavuma in the penultimate over.
- Josh Inglis scored 102, his second test century, while partnering with Alex Carey for a 185-run stand to help Australia reach 429 in their first innings.
- Fast bowler Mitchell Starc dismissed Aiden Markram and Marques Ackerman, while Josh Hazlewood removed David Bedingham, leaving the Proteas 100 runs behind when South Africa began their reply.
- The Proteas face a difficult task setting a target on a 'tinder dry' surface, while the Australians aim to chase a modest total of about 200 to secure the series.
- With the series tied 1-1, Australia seeks victory in this series-deciding test following their 214-run win in Durban, with two days remaining at Newlands.
