Eyes on the skies

As we mentioned, clouds and time are the twin enemies for Australia in this game now.

It would be a shame if the tourists were to lose or draw this one after another incredibly professional display on day three, but they have control of the Test, so it's on them to force the issue.

Russell Jackson breaks it all down.

Key Event

It's day four in Durban

We're getting down to crunch time as we head into day four of the first Test of Australia's tour of South Africa.

The Aussies are 0-33 with a healthy 139-run lead, but time is suddenly of the essence with the final session of the first three days consistently cut in half by bad light, which we have no reason to expect will change today.

So Australia needs to score and score quickly to give its bowlers something to defend and make a push for victory in the final innings.
