South Africa v Australia: first men’s cricket Test, day three – live

* Follow updates from Kingsmead Cricket Ground * Start time is 9.30am local/6.30pm AEDT | Email Rob We were promised a slow turner in Durban. So far, as is often the case on such pitches, we’ve had a slow burner. Only 11 wickets fell on the first two days, with the momentum crawling back towards Australia during Matthew Renshaw’s extraordinary innings. Renshaw’s career-best, probably career-defining 190 helped Australia recover from 124 for 6 to 390 all out, with South Africa reaching 27 for 1 before bad light intervened. It means we have a big day ahead at Kingsmead – one that should shape the match, and could shape the entire series. Continue reading...
