Firdose tells me: "Morkel is bowling, not putting too much pressure on the left side but bowling."

3:06pm Now the heavy roller's come out and impeded Mark Nicholas' vision, but not before he's told us that Morne Morkel is rolling his arm over.

3:05pm South Africa have declared. Do they have enough?

FanieSA: "according to my calculations Faf should start thinking about a declaration when the lead is 666"

Geoff W: "We've obviously got 'em very worried. Not game to declare." --- Good assessment Geoff.

2:57pm And that will be tea. If you've just joined us and are wondering why Australia are still in the field, it's because on top of having Morne Morkel injured, South Africa are giving Philander - who has a groin niggle - and Rabada - stiff back - some time to recover. In doing so, they've had a Faf du Plessis hundred of some quality, and an Elgar 81 that perhaps only Elgar can outdo. See you in 20 minutes.

Arjun: "Whats with these funny 'cut' sentences that you guys keep typing like in Over 102.4?? Is this deliberate or what??!!" --- No idea what you're talking about, I only see an accurate description of cricket there.
