Show Preview

After a washed out Day 3, Australia will need plenty to go right to keep their unbeaten streak going against South Africa at the SCG. Join The Roar for live scores from 10am (AEDT).

With Usman Khawaja unbeaten on 195 not out, Pat Cummins has a decision to make. Does he allow the veteran a chance to reach his maiden Test double century, and risk eating into valuable overs, or does he declare overnight and put the team over the individual?

In either case, the Proteas will be aiming for a draw here, with the Aussies’ imposing 4/475 too much for them to realistically do much with. Can a brittle batting line-up stave off the hosts and salvage some pride from the wreckage of a disappointing tour?
