South Africa have warned Australia they may need to conquer a trial by spin to taste series success, after Mitchell Starc’s golden Cape Town Test gave the tourists a clear path to victory.
The veteran pace ace struck twice on Thursday afternoon to leave the Proteas 4-140 in their second innings, leading by just 40 after three days, with Australia now firmly on top.
The left-armer’s wickets came after he also took six on the opening day, setting up the match for Australia and giving them the best of the batting conditions.
But it’s the way the pitch acted with Starc and Nathan Lyon bowling late on day three that offered a hint of the challenges Australia could face while chasing in the series decider.
The hours of play will remain the same and there may be an extra 30 minutes available to make up for weather or missed overs.
First session: 7.30pm to 9.30pm (AEDT)
Second session: 10.10pm to 12.10am (AEDT)
Third session: 12.30am to 2.30am (AEDT)
