Mitchell Starc is rubbing salt in the wound.

He was dropped by Marco Jansen on 14 last night and now he's hitting the tall left-armer for four, jabbing his bat in the way of the yorker and somehow diverting the ball to the rope.

He's up to 32 (78). Josh Hazlewood has eight (21).

    The movement stats of South Africa today - both swing and movement off the pitch are down 15-20% in comparison to yesterday.

  • Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Josh Hazlewood has looked very solid so far.

    When it really matters, Mitchell Starc can knuckle down.

  • Aus 165-9

    Mitchell Starc adds another run to Australia's lead, which is now at 239.

    Josh Hazlewood solidly defends two deliveries from Kagiso Rabada.

    This morning, it has done less. These lower order batters have been able to hit it around a bit.

    Re: Antony - Who would be to blame if SA lose by less then 20 runs? While the bowlers themselves are completely responsible for the shocking amount of no-balls (sorry, can't blame coaches for this). Ultimately it is the batters of both sides who have just not turned up and so responsibility I think sits with them whichever side wins/loses.

    Wouldn't the responsibility lie with Stuart Broad as he was acting as a bowling consultant on the first morning?

  • Aus 164-9

    Josh Hazlewood picks up another two to finish the over and safeguard his position as non-striker for Rabada's next over.

    This will all be getting a little frustrating for South Africa.

    Great effort from Ryan Rickelton to try and stop that but it will be four valuable runs for Australia.

  • Aus 162-9

    Josh Hazlewood slices Marco Jansen away for four! There's a despairing dive from a charging Ryan Rickelton but he can only carry the ball over the rope.

  • Aus 158-9

    Josh Hazlewood, at the non-striker's end, wants a single off the final ball of the 47th over but sub fielder Corbin Bosch cuts off that possibility.

    Marco Jansen is back on the field and will be bowling to Hazlewood.

  • Marco Jansen has left the field. He did jab his left thumb into the ground while fielding yesterday afternoon and it bent in a very unnatural fashion. Could that be troubling him?

  • Aus 158-9

    Twenty no balls and the missed review off Beau Webster in the first innings... both could come back to haunt South Africa. Only time will tell.

    Josh Hazlewood survives four deliveries from Marco Jansen and even manages to steal a mid-over single after sneaking through following a slip in the field. Mitchell Starc also picks up one.

    If SA lose this game by less than 20 runs, who takes responsibility for all the no balls? The bowling coach? The bowlers themselves? Or the batters, for not chasing the runs down?

    Kagiso Rabada has 9-103. Only one South African player has taken 10 wickets on this ground - Makhaya Ntini in 2003.

  • Aus 156-9

    Five dot balls follow Mitchell Starc's boundary.

    He can't get back on strike off the final delivery as Kagiso Rabada beats his bat. Josh Hazlewood will be exposed to Marco Jansen.

    Today feels positively fizzing with possibilities. Every. Ball. Counts.

  • Aus 156-9

    Four! Mitchell Starc edges Kagiso Rabada between two fielders and away to the rope.

    Australia's lead is creeping ever closer towards 250.

    Last night, we tasked Test Match Special's Andy Zaltzman with a question: how many Tests have been won with the fourth-innings total being the highest in the match. Obviously, Andy found out the answer.

    "I make it 26 occasions (19 since 1997, only seven before then)," he told us. "In all, there have been three in England, including Headingley 2019, and South Africa have had four such wins, most recently versus Australia in Perth in December 2008: 414-4 in the fourth innings (Graeme Smith and AB de Villiers made hundreds)."

    There's been some sensible batting out there.
