Font size

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.

Open Questions

  • Will bad light continue to cut sessions short?
  • What target will Australia set South Africa?
