Live: Aussies looking for quick runs to build lead on day four in Durban
Australia's batters need to pile on runs and do it quickly as the opening Test against South Africa approaches a dramatic end. Follow live.
On the third day of the Test match, Australia's batsmen must accelerate to add quick runs and gain an advantage against South Africa. The game is facing significant challenges with bad light interrupting play. Despite being at 0-33 and leading by 139 runs, the Aussies need to score rapidly to defend their wickets and potentially win the Test.
South Africa's Shaun Pollock has suggested an obvious solution, while Australia's Steve Smith set a world record in the field. Meanwhile, Marnus Labuschagne was upset as the third umpire prevented him from joining in the celebrations. Bad light means Australia's batting opportunities have been limited, and the team must act with urgency to secure their position in the match before it reaches a critical juncture.
