"Wasted some opportunities!" Inglis TON powers Aussies as Starc & Lyon put South Africa under pressure! - RSA vs Australia 3rd Test, Day 3 Review
The Follow-OnSummary
Australia maintains a narrow lead over South Africa in a tightly contested Test match at Newlands Cricket Stadium. After a dramatic third day, Australia, having started with a slight edge, saw their innings collapse after Josh Inglis reached a century. Inglis scored 102 runs before being dismissed by Simon Harmer, who took four wickets in the innings. Australia's total ended at 429, leaving them with a lead of 100 runs.
South Africa struggled in their response, losing key wickets early, including Aidan Markram and David Benningham, who both fell victim to loose shots. Despite a brief recovery, the Proteas ended the day at four wickets down for 140 runs, still trailing significantly. Nathan Lyon's bowling proved effective, culminating in the dismissal of Temba Bavuma, which shifted momentum back to Australia.
As the match approaches its final stages, both teams face pressure. Australia is poised to clinch the series with a win, but South Africa still has a chance if they can build a substantial total in their second innings. The upcoming first hour of play is deemed critical, with both teams needing to capitalize on their strengths to secure victory.
