Australia 338-4 as South Africa host series-deciding third Test at Newlands on day three

South Africa and Australia were contesting the third men’s Test, the series decider, at Newlands in Cape Town on 29 October 2026, with live coverage reporting on day three.

By the 93rd over Australia were 338 for 4, with Inglis on 90 and Carey on 54; Jansen bowled the over as a maiden after delivering a shorter ball that angled into Carey and finishing with two bouncers.

Earlier, in the 92nd over Wiaan Mulder took the ball while the live updates said Kagiso Rabada "is still feeling below full fitness as he stands in the field"; Gerald Coetzee dived at mid-on but Inglis’s straight drive raced to the boundary, one of "two little slices of misfortune that have already struck the Proteas today."
