98 overs to bowl. 14 wickets to get. Australia have a task in front of them to secure victory against South Africa on the final day of the Test match summer. Join The Roar for live scores from 10am (AEDT).

After declaring following a delay for a wet outfield, adding on from the complete Day 3 washout, Australia struck repeatedly to leave the Proteas 6/149 at the close of play.

South Africa have had a nightmare tour, and a draw here would at least allow them to salvage some pride from the wreckage. But with Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood looking ominous, and Nathan Lyon’s spin sure to take a key role, they’ll need to channel the spirit of their stonewalling effort from Adelaide in 2012 to get the job done.
