Green ducks.15:33 IST:18.3: Gerald Coetzee to Cameron Green, Coetzee bashes the hard length, on off. Green stands tall on top of the bounce and cuts it late to deep backward point but does not take the single. Not sure how long Green can keep turning down the singles.

Green wrists it to mid-wicket.15:32 IST:18.1: Gerald Coetzee to Cameron Green, On a hard length, angled in at the ribs.

Nicely tossed up by Harmer, full and inviting the drive. Connolly is lured into the drive and the ball drops on him before spinning away just a touch to graze the outside edge. Ryan Rickelton gets both his gloves around his left knee and holds onto the catch. After starting yesterday at effectively 40/4, South Africa have Australia in all sorts at 42/6, needing 4 more wickets to clinch the series.15:27 IST:17.3: Simon Harmer to Cooper Connolly, Flatter and shorter, on middle. Connolly hangs back to defend.15:27 IST:Half the side back in the hut. Cooper Connolly walks in next.15:25 IST:17.2: Simon Harmer to Alex Carey, OUT! CAUGHT! Simon Harmer gets in on the act now. South Africa are all over Australia like a rash. This is speared in full, on middle. Carey gets low and pre-empts the reverse sweep but cannot roll his wrists over the ball and the bat face stays open. It takes the top edge and balloons to backward point, where Marco Jansen moves forward and dives, using his reach to good effect. The umpires are happy with what they have seen and feel no need to send it upstairs for a check.15:24 IST:17.1: Simon Harmer to Alex Carey, Drifting in from around the wicket, on a length. Carey presses forward to smother the spin.15:24 IST:16.6: Marco Jansen to Alex Carey, Fuller and on off. Carey pushes at the ball with hard hands.

Green angles it to backward point.15:18 IST:15.4: Simon Harmer to Alex Carey, Tossed up, on off. Carey lunges and drives it to long off for a single.15:17 IST:Alex Carey is in at number 6.15:17 IST:15.3: Simon Harmer to Cameron Green, OUT! JOSH INGLIS IS RUN OUT! That is a disaster for Australia. South Africa's joy knows no bounds. Flighted up, on off. Green presses forward and gets on top of the bounce as he dabs it down past silly point. The ball does not go too far from Marques Ackerman at silly point, but the batters set off for a non-existent run. Marques turns around and gets to the ball quickly. He does well to release the throw on the turn. Ryan Rickelton gathers it at shoulder height to his left and whips the bails off in a flash, with Josh Inglis struggling to make his ground. The third umpire is called into action, and the replays confirm that Inglis is short of his ground. Australia are now 40/4, needing 248 more runs while South Africa need 6 more wickets.15:17 IST:Marques Ackerman comes in at silly point.15:14 IST:15.2: Simon Harmer to Josh Inglis, Very full, on off. Inglis works the reverse sweep behind square on the off side for a single.15:14 IST:15.1: Simon Harmer to Josh Inglis, That could have gone anywhere. On a length, around off. Inglis leans across for the reverse sweep but it spins back to catch the bottom edge and trickles beside the leg stump.15:14 IST:14.6: Marco Jansen to Cameron Green, FOUR! Slanting in towards the off stump, on a good length. Green lunges and looks to defend with the bat close to the front pad. It brushes a bit of the front pad and clips the back thigh before going down and past the dive of Ryan Rickelton to his right. The UltraEdge comes up with a spike when the ball is next to the bat. The on-field decision is upheld. South Africa lose a review.15:14 IST:Review time. LBW appeal, given Not Out, but South Africa have taken the review.15:11 IST:14.5: Marco Jansen to Cameron Green, A bit fuller now, on off. Green lunges and drives it to mid off.15:10 IST:14.4: Marco Jansen to Cameron Green, Goes past the bat! Angled in before straightening, ever so slightly, off a good length.

A tough chance, though. Floated up, on off. Green shimmies down the track and takes the ball on the full. The ball dips on him and he ends up chipping it low to the left of Simon Harmer. Harmer gets low to his left and sticks out his left hand, but the ball hits him high on the palm and drops to the ground. Simon is disappointed with himself as he has set high standards for himself.15:03 IST:DRINKS BREAK! End of an entertaining first hour, one that belonged to South Africa. Kagiso Rabada's three strikes have set the tone nicely for the Proteas, who will look to keep chipping away through the day. With two right-handers at the crease, Simon Harmer will relish the prospect of bowling into the rough outside the off stump. It will be interesting to see how this pair finds a way to tackle him and not let him settle.15:00 IST:12.6: Marco Jansen to Josh Inglis, Going away with the angle, not all that short, Inglis punches it to cover.14:59 IST:12.5: Marco Jansen to Cameron Green, Good running!

Green leaves it all alone.14:56 IST:11.6: Simon Harmer to Josh Inglis, Offers flight, full and outside off. Josh reaches across and rolls his wrists over the ball on the reverse sweep but can't beat backward point.14:55 IST:11.5: Simon Harmer to Josh Inglis, Pushed through, flatter and at the sticks. Inglis goes back to a relatively full ball but manages to stab it down.14:55 IST:11.4: Simon Harmer to Josh Inglis, A bit fuller now, on off. Inglis lunges for the block but squirts it off the inner half to mid-wicket.14:54 IST:11.3: Simon Harmer to Josh Inglis, Oh, that is a risky option. On a good length, on off.

Green stays back to defend.14:50 IST:10.3: Marco Jansen to Cameron Green, A bit of yes and no! Jansen bashes the hard length, over middle. Green drops it in front of square leg and sets off for the run before being sent back by Inglis.14:49 IST:10.2: Marco Jansen to Cameron Green, Fuller in length, on off. Green does not quite move his feet much and pushes out in front as he guides it to cover.14:49 IST:10.1: Marco Jansen to Josh Inglis, From around the wicket, into the deck, on middle. Inglis gets across the stumps and nudges it square on the leg side for a single.14:48 IST:Kagiso Rabada has been given a rest. Marco Jansen is back with a change of ends.14:47 IST:9.6: Wiaan Mulder to Cameron Green, Fuller and curving away, outside off. An easy leave for Green.14:47 IST:9.5: Wiaan Mulder to Cameron Green, A bit of a drag down, on off. Green reaches out to force it away but ends up chopping it down in front of cover.14:46 IST:9.4: Wiaan Mulder to Cameron Green, Nice and full, jagging back a bit, on middle. Green brings his bat out in front and is solid in defense.14:45 IST:9.3: Wiaan Mulder to Cameron Green, Pulls the length back, on middle and leg.

Green drops the bat down on the ball and defends it right under his eyes.14:44 IST:9.1: Wiaan Mulder to Cameron Green, Shaping away a bit, not close enough to make the batter play. Green lets it be.14:43 IST:8.6: Kagiso Rabada to Josh Inglis, Attacking the off stump, on a length. Inglis presents a straight bat to keep it out.14:42 IST:8.5: Kagiso Rabada to Cameron Green, Into the surface, over middle. Green rides the bounce and drops it beside the strip on the leg side for one.14:42 IST:8.4: Kagiso Rabada to Josh Inglis, Yorker speared in at the toes. Inglis' head falls over to the off side but he manages to squeeze it out to the left of deep square leg for a single.14:41 IST:8.3: Kagiso Rabada to Josh Inglis, Pitched up, on off. Inglis gets a good stride in and angles it to point.14:41 IST:8.2: Kagiso Rabada to Josh Inglis, Oh! Rabada bashes the deck hard, on off.

EDGED AND GONE! 350th Test wicket for Kagiso Rabada, and it is the big scalp of Travis Head. Rabada becomes only the fourth South African to reach this landmark, joining Makhaya Ntini, Shaun Pollock and Dale Steyn. KG drags the length back a bit and keeps it around the off pole. Head's feet go nowhere, and he goes searching for the ball. The ball straightens off the deck just enough to take the outside edge. It flies to Marco Jansen at gully, who is in really tight, but he is equal to the task and gobbles it up around his right shoulder. Rabada did not look like his usual self in the first innings due to stomach cramps and had just a solitary wicket to his name. But boy, has he stepped up on the final day of the series. Australia are now 3 down for 22 in a chase of 288. South Africa are 7 wickets away from a series win.14:33 IST:6.5: Kagiso Rabada to Travis Head, Yorker attempted, on off, bowled by goig wide on the crease. Head reaches out to go through the off side but the bat turns in his hands and he mishits it to mid on.14:32 IST:6.4: Kagiso Rabada to Travis Head, FOUR! Lovely stroke.

Moving away off the seam, on a back of a length, on off. Head hops and fiddles at the ball. He is lucky not to nick it behind.14:31 IST:6.2: Kagiso Rabada to Travis Head, Digs it in on a hard length at 143.1 kph, over off. Head jumps back in the crease and taps it down to cover.14:30 IST:6.1: Kagiso Rabada to Cameron Green, Rabada continues to be in and around the off stump, on a length. Green does well not to push at the ball with hard hands. Steers it with a slightly open bat face behind point for a single.14:29 IST:5.6: Marco Jansen to Travis Head, On the fuller side, on off. Head strides out and plays the drive on the up to cover.14:29 IST:5.5: Marco Jansen to Travis Head, This is short and a bit wide on off. Head shapes up for the cut but ends up chopping it down on the off side.14:28 IST:5.4: Marco Jansen to Travis Head, Outside off, on the shorter side. Head opens the face of the bat and guides it behind the wicket on the off side. The gully fielder dives to his left to make the stop.14:27 IST:5.3: Marco Jansen to Travis Head, Well bowled! A bumper by Jansen with an upright seam, on middle. Head hops to deal with it but the ball keeps climbing and gets big on him, hitting the bat right around the sticker.14:27 IST:5.2: Marco Jansen to Travis Head, Two leg byes! A little too straight, sliding onto the pads. Head tries to pick it up off the pads but fails to lay any bat on it. It clips the pads and goes behind. The deep fine leg fielder gets around to his left and tidies up as the batters pick up a couple.14:26 IST:5.1: Marco Jansen to Travis Head, Attacking the front pad. Head stays back but brings his bat out in front to work it to mid on.14:25 IST:4.6: Kagiso Rabada to Travis Head, A bit fuller, on middle and leg. Head hangs deep in the crease and nudges it wide of mid on before scampering through for a quick single.14:24 IST:4.5: Kagiso Rabada to Travis Head, On a short of a good length, left alone on length by Head as the ball sails over the off pole.14:24 IST:4.4: Kagiso Rabada to Travis Head, That is a beauty by Rabada. A lot tighter this time, just outside the off stump, on a back of a length. Head plays for the ball that angles back in and presents a straight bat. It holds its line and zips past the outside edge.14:23 IST:4.3: Kagiso Rabada to Travis Head, A swing and a miss! A hint of width and it is fractionally short. Head's eyes light up and he goes after the ball with no half-measures but can only connect with thin air. A couple of the South Africans seemed to have heard something but the replays confirm that there was daylight betwen the bat and the ball.14:22 IST:4.2: Kagiso Rabada to Travis Head, Speared in full at 143.8 kph at the off pole.

Green offers no shot.14:18 IST:3.1: Marco Jansen to Cameron Green, Nearly trickled back onto the sticks. Cameron Green had his heart in his mouth for a moment there. Steep bounce for Jansen, around the right shoulder. Green hops and gets his hands high to fend it down. He takes the bottom hand off the bat handle as the ball drops off his gloves at his feet. It drops on the turf and just about spins past the off stump.14:16 IST:2.6: Kagiso Rabada to Travis Head, From around the wicket, on a hard length, over off. Head hops to get on top of the bounce and drops it beside the strip on the off side.14:16 IST:2.5: Kagiso Rabada to Cameron Green, Nibbling away slightly, on a length, around off.

Short and wide on off, Head throws his hands at the ball but it sails over his blade.14:14 IST:1.3: Marco Jansen to Travis Head, Into the deck, on off.

Head has just blocked that from the crease.14:48 IST:South Africa could not have asked for a better start. Cameron Green walks out to bat. Marco Jansen will operate from the other end.14:15 IST:0.6: Kagiso Rabada to Marnus Labuschagne, OUT! LBW! There are two kinds of leaves, and Marnus Labuschagne has produced one that has led to his downfall. Nip-backer by Rabada, honing in on the off stump, on the fuller side. Labuschagne shoulders arms but the ball jags back in and keeps a bit low as well to hit Marnus on the flap of the back pad. A prolonged appeal by the Proteas and the finger is raised. Labuschagne decides to take the review. Since no shot was offered, the impact does not matter and the Ball Tracking has the ball clipping the off stump. It is the umpire's call, so the on-field decision will stand. Graeme Smith wonders if this is the last time we have seen Marnus Labuschagne in whites for Australia14:14 IST:0.5: Kagiso Rabada to Marnus Labuschagne, Good-length delivery, not close enough to make the batter play. Left alone by Marnus.14:14 IST:0.4: Kagiso Rabada to Marnus Labuschagne, FOUR! Edgy, but that takes Marnus Labuschagne off the pair. Rabada goes searching for the magic ball but ends up serving a low full toss, on off and middle. Labuschagne tries to clip it away but the ball moves away late in the air to take a leading edge and it races behind point for a four.14:04 IST:Marnus Labuschagne is in at number 3.14:14 IST:0.3: Kagiso Rabada to Matt Renshaw, OUT! STRANGED DOWN LEG! What a start for South Africa. Matt Renshaw cannot believe his luck. Not a wicket-taking delivery by any means, sprayed down leg, on a nagging length. Renshaw leans inside the line as he looks to use the pace and the angle of the ball and help it away. Gets a tickle on it and Ryan Rickelton moves to his right with the angle of the ball before putting in a dive to snaffle it. South Africa go up in unison, and the finger is raised. A golden duck for Renshaw. Australia are 1/1, chasing 288.14:14 IST:0.2: Kagiso Rabada to Travis Head, A little too straight, rising up a bit at the hips, on the shorter side. Head presses up on his toes and helps it down to deep fine leg for a single. Australia and Head are underway.14:02 IST:This is interesting.14:14 IST:0.1: Kagiso Rabada to Travis Head, Steams in from around the wicket and hits the back of a length, on middle. Head hops and gets behind the line to tap it down the strip.
