South Africa vs Australia 3rd Test: Menners Minutes Day 4 'Advantage South Africa'

Australia face a daunting final-day challenge in Cape Town after South Africa fought back brilliantly on Day 4 to set a target of 288 for victory. Starting at 4/140, the Proteas reached 387 all out, thanks to superb centuries from Wiaan Mulder (115) and Ryan Rickelton (101), who combined for a crucial 154-run partnership.
Menners examines how Australia's bowling attack struggled to break through for much of the day, before some outstanding fielding, including run-outs from Marnus Labuschagne and Josh Inglis, helped Australia take six wickets in the final session. Mitchell Starc was the pick of the bowlers, while Nathan Lyon's effectiveness on the turning pitch comes under scrutiny.
With Australia needing 288 to win the Test and the series, Menners looks at the pressure facing the batting lineup, including Travis Head, Cameron Green, Josh Inglis and a potentially playing-for-his-Test-career Marnus Labuschagne. There's also discussion around David Warner's criticism of Marnus, Steve Smith's future, Pat Cummins' captaincy and whether it's time for a major shake-up of Australia's selection panel.
South Africa are favourites heading into the final day, but Australia have a chance to produce another famous Newlands run chase.
