Will Australia declare?

No, but I’d be surprised if they survived for more than 10-15 overs tomorrow, so S.A. won’t be chasing more than 230-240, but I struggle to see them survive for 2 full sessions

Aussies will win comfortably 200+ only chased once at Lords since 2005.

SA have to make big inroads into that target today if they are to have a chance, pretty much ideal batting conditions at present.

Australia are still massive favourites.

If they had batted like this in the first innings then….

Collapse incoming.

If a collapse has to happen , it should happen soon.

Where’s @JU97ICE

Under a hundred needed.
Australia still in it, but need a wicket.
It’s been a brave innings by Bavuma.

Just hope the saffers can get through now.

I take it you’re all gutted for those plucky underdog Aussies??

Don’t generally mind the Aussies. But then the cricket.

It’s not like I want the poms to win over them.

But any other team winning over the Aussies , even if it’s Pakistan

Still wouldn’t count them out considering the opponent.

The match is far from over. Fair play to SA for making a game of it though.
I still expect a surprise (if that’s even possible).
