Hazlewood edges limply to second slip and the series is squared.
Rabada comes back on and Starc is bowled taking a big swing at a full ball.
Drinks have been taken. Getting quite dark at St George’s Park and lights are on.
Cummins plays down the wrong line to Mulder and is clean bowled.
No wickets in the game and two low scores make this a game to forget for Cummins.
The game has just ticked over to its 271st over, so take out the rain and it has occupied just over three days of scheduled playing time.
Boland’s dogged rearguard ends when he is bowled by Mulder.
Boland’s 40 occupied 166 balls, the second most faced by an Australian in this match after Head.
Captain Cummins to the crease to join Carey.
This will really come down to whether Boland and Carey can keep their poise and concentration for this marathon final session.
So far, they are doing well but they will face many more testing moments from here and they will both know that only one slip up could end their respective innings.
AUS 6-255 with Boland on 40 and Carey on 13.
The players are back on the park to start this last session of the day which will go for almost three hours.
It feels to me that Boland and Carey will have to bat the bulk of this session if Australia wants to save this match.
It would be a Herculean effort if they do.
AUS 6-254 with 72 runs still to make.
Australia have made it to tea. A long session is scheduled to end this game, and a key figure is 73, South Africa’s lead.
If the tourists can wipe that out, it will buy them the time the Proteas would need to bat again.
Harmer ripped some spinners past Carey in that last over but he survived and the teams are going in for the tea break.
The Aussies have one very long, extended final session to come.
Boland is up to 40 from 150 balls. He has put the highest of prices on his wicket.
The Proteas are using their bowlers in short spells with Harmer called back into the attack, just seven overs after the new ball was introduced.
Boland has moved up to 38 from 139 balls while Carey is on five.
AUS 6-244 and they trail by 82 balls.
That might be the Test match. Australia’s scoring rate has slowed to a crawl, and Smith tries an ambitious pull shot at Rabada with the new ball only to sky it for a catch.
Smith did not look 100 per cent in that innings either.
Boland is now left with Carey and the tail to survive with Australia still needing 97 runs before they can make South Africa bat again.
