Aus 207-9published at 64.1 overs
Four more for Mitchell Starc.
The bowling change brings the wicket. In his second over, Aiden Markram finally breaks Josh Hazlewood's resistance. He's caught by Keshav Maharaj for 17 off 53 balls.
Australia are all out for 207. South Africa will chase 282 for victory.

Four more for Mitchell Starc.
Could Mitchell Starc get the highest individual score in this match? Only Beau Webster (72) and Steve Smith (66) are ahead of him.
Aus 201-9 (lead by 275 runs)
Starc reaches half-century against South Africa
Mitchell Starc goes for the cut and instead edges Marco Jansen over the slips.
He won't care - he's got his 11th Test half-century off 131 balls and Australia have ed 200 in the second innings.
What a knock this is from Starc.

Was 12:11 Stuart (Broad)?
Jon, Manchester (sunny!)
Stuart 12:11 - are you Stuart Broad by any chance?
Martyn in Hampshire
Re: 12:11 and England struggling to bowl at the tail. That wasn't from Stuart Broad was it?
Tim, Cambridge
A maiden from Aiden Markram.
Someone next to me in the office has just suggested that there could be an extra 30 minutes before lunch given Australia are nine wickets down.
If Starc and Hazlewood are anything like me - aka feeling snacky - they won't be happy about that scenario.
Temba Bavuma has turned to the spin of Aiden Markram. He picked up the wicket of Steve Smith in the first innings.

Ex-England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
It's an unbelievable shot, using the pace. He has meant that.
Oh, Josh Hazlewood. Who said you couldn't bat? He lifts the ball over the slips and away for four. Glorious.

Good to see it's not just England who struggle to bowl out the tail.

I think there was an expectation that if South Africa kept hitting top of off they would get them out easily.
South Africa are moving very slowly between overs. All of the fizz has gone out of them with this last-wicket stand worth 43.
Can Marco Jansen inject some enthusiasm back into his side?
Sir Alastair Cook
Ex-England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
South Africa should maybe get the short leg or silly point in to upset Hazlewood.

Vineet Jacob: The ball has gone soft and the effect of the sun is evident with not much lateral movement but the slowness of the wicket won't allow for a free flowing batting display. More catches in front of the wicket today, maybe?
Lead by 264 runs
Marco Jansen produces a sharp piece of fielding on the rope to limit Josh Hazlewood to two runs. South Africa will be thankful to have such a tall man in the deep.

South Africa need a lift, they're looking especially deflated.
I'm going to play fast and loose with the rules here, Sam, and as it's Friday and I'm having a lovely day, Faf can enter the pantheon of palindromic cricketers.
There's a lot of nail-biting going on among the South Africa fielders. I think they're getting a little bored of Hazlewood and Starc. They've put on 39 runs and eaten up 99 balls.

Another palindromic cricketer is Rangy Nanan who played one Test for West Indies in 1980
Malcolm, East Sussex
Does Faf (Du Plessis) count as half a palindrome?
Sam, Cornwall
There's some discussion about the ball. A few alternative options are brought onto the field. Everyone - and I mean everyone - has a browse.
And then Keshav Maharaj bowls a maiden to Josh Hazlewood.

Spare a thought for those of us currently on a train from Cornwall to London, clutching our day four tickets.

Surely Mitchell Starc is providing a glimmer of hope, Sam?
