South Africa v Australia: first men’s cricket Test, day three – live

The first men’s cricket Test between South Africa and Australia continues at Kingsmead Cricket Ground in Durban. As the match enters its third day, the game has been characterized by a slow pace of play, with only 11 wickets falling across the first two days of competition.

Initial expectations for the pitch suggested it would be a slow turner, but the contest has instead developed into a slow burner. Momentum has gradually shifted in favor of Australia as the teams progress through the opening stages of the Test.
