5:39pm That will be all from us for today. We will be back tomorrow nice and early as South Africa look to secure another Test win in Zimbabwe. Until then, from Chetan, Ranjith, Shashank and myself, Shashwat, this is goodbye!

Wiaan Mulder: (On how he is feeling) Pretty special. To be honest, I have never even dreamt of getting a double hundred, let alone a triple hundred. Most importantly, it has put the team in a good position to win this Test. When I started playing for South Africa, I was nowhere near good enough. Have had the opportunity to learn from some great players (past and present). Going to England really gave me a chance to understand what kind of batter (I want to be) and figure out (my weaknesses). Lots of lessons (from my time in England). There were so many thoughts like you have got enough. When I got bowled on 247, a lapse of concentration, there was so much negative happening. But there was a lot of positive (thinking) happening as well. Just singing my song between balls, trying to keep myself natural and present, tried feeling my shoes to stay in the moment and not think too far ahead. When I went past Hash's (Hashim Amla's) score, I did not notice (it at first) but it was pretty special. In Bangladesh, it was an Afrikaans song (that I was singing). Whenever I got stuck (in this innings), I kept singing and sometimes, I sung it out loud to keep me in the present. (On the declaration) First things first. We had enough to bowl (at). Brian Lara is a legend. He got 400 or 401 or something against England and for someone to keep that record, it is special. I spoke to Shuks (Shukri Conrad) - and spoke about letting the legends keep (that record). Lara keeping that record is exactly the way it should be.

5:25pm The day began with Mulder on the brink of history, and he ensured a piece to himself, getting to 367 unbeaten and registering the highest individual score for any South African. He also put himself fifth on the all-time highest-score list, but opted against hunting down Brian Lara, who remains the only cricketer with a quadruple ton in the Test arena.

Once South Africa declared, it was over to their bowlers and they responded brilliantly, bundling Zimbabwe out for 170, despite Williams' fighting 83. They found it a little tougher in the hosts' second innings, but having already gotten rid of Myers, and with a mountain of runs still in the bank, they will fancy their chances of wrapping up this contest tomorrow.
