18:05 Local Time, 16:05 GMT, 21:35 IST: South Africa end the day 40 runs ahead with six wickets in hand.
They've fought incredibly hard to stay alive in this contest but Australia are closing in on a pitch that has started to play its tricks.
There's sharp turn out of the rough for Lyon while the quicks are finding a little bit of uneven bounce.
Simon Harmer led the way with the ball, while Marques Ackerman struck his second fifty of the Test before he was sent packing by a brute of a short ball from Mitchell Starc.
They would've loved to finish the day three-down but it wasn't to be with Nathan Lyon striking minutes before the close.

They've fought incredibly hard to stay alive in this contest but Australia are closing in on a pitch that has started to play its tricks. There's sharp turn out of the rough for Lyon while the quicks are finding a little bit of uneven bounce. But take nothing away from the hosts who have shown a lot of resilience, first to restrict Australia to a lead of 100, and then to recover from those two early blows of Markram and Bedingham, both of whom fell to loose shots.
