1.40am: Australia bailed out of a pickle in Potch by their adopted South African, a maiden Marnus hundred giving them something to bowl at. They'll be chanting Labuskagne on one side of the ground, and Labushayne on the other... That total doesn't look much above par, though none of Australia's batsmen appeared comfortable trying to score quickly. Can South Africa show them how to do it and seal a 3-0 series win? We'll be back to see how they go in half an hour

Nortje to KW Richardson, 1 bye, can't connect again and de Kock tosses the ball past the stumps as they scamper through for a bye!

Kane Richardson heads out

Nortje to Labuschagne, OUT, Laboosh falls, bowled by a slower ball! A mighty innings from Marnus, who departs with one ball to go... deftly bowled, a back-of-the-hand delivery that defeated Labuschagne's attempted swing over the leg side moving across

Nortje to JA Richardson, 1 run, slugged back down the track, Nortje sticks out his boot to take the pace off

"De Kock trying to be too funky with his bowlers today... " mutters Doc. It is always an odd look when the most economical bowler only gets six of his ten

Nortje to JA Richardson, no run, whoops! Richardson has thrown his bat away! Slower ball and he swung his stick right out of his hands (but didn't connect with the ball)

That brings up the Australia 250

Nortje to JA Richardson, FOUR, squirted through backward point! Just managed to get it off the toe of the bat and beyond Dupavillon's dive out in the deep
