On the 3rd Day, the tourists successfully posted a grand total before getting dismissed for 569 and making the home team to chase a difficult target of 632 in the third Test.
The top-ranked South African players Hashim Amla and AB De Villiers helped their team to take control over the game by scoring 196 and 169 respectively. Amla made a partnership of 178 with Graeme Smith (84), 81 with Jacques Kallis (37) and 149 with de Villiers before giving a return catch to Mitchell Johnson in the middle session. De Villiers made his 14th Test hundred before getting caught behind off Mitch Starc.
Amla resumed on 99 with South Africa at 230 for 2 on day three and completed his 18th Test hundred. He played remarkably and dominated the partnership with Kallis, who was caught by Johnson off Starc.
Johnson got his double breakthrough by dismissing Amla and Dean Elgar to make the rivals slip from 3 for 436 to 5 for 436. After removing Amla, he trapped the rookie South African lbw to give him a pair of ducks on debut. However, South Africans lost their last five wickets for just 31 runs with left-arm pacemen Starc (6 for 154) and Johnson (4 for 110) claiming all the wickets.
Faf du Plessis (27) was playing aggressively and shared a 102-run partnership with de Villiers before edging Johnson to Michael Clarke at slip. Starc then grabbed the wickets of last three tailenders as South Africa deciding to continue playing.
Before the stumps, Australian openers David Warner (29) and Ed Cowan (9) survived to score 40 without loss and trailing by 592 with two full days play still remaining.
The highest fourth-innings total was England’s 654 for 5, chasing 696 to beat South Africa in a famous timeless match at Durban in March, 1939, when both captains finally agreed to a draw after 10 days of play so the tourists could get a ship back to Britain.
The tourists just require a draw to retain their No. 1 Test spot, while Australia needs a win to replace them in the ranking table.
