Right then, this Test match has ended but it has left us with many scarring memories. Australian cricket is in the doldrums and the coming days are going to be really tough for them. How they will come out of this remains to be seen. There isn't much gap between this Test and the fourth one. It starts on the 30th of March in Johannesburg. South Africa will be eyeing their first Test series win against Australia at home since 1970. Will be a great contest, hopefully. Do join us at 1000 local (0800 GMT) for all the action. Until then, goodbye and cheers. Play fair in life, folks!
South African skipper, Faf du Plessis, says it was a power-packed performance as they took 10 wickets for 50 runs. Reckons it was a matter of one or two wickets before they can run through the batting line-up. Mentions the nature of the Tests have been such that there are runs for the first 30-40 overs but once the ball starts reversing, the wickets start to come. Credits the way Morkel and Maharaj bowled. He says the boys were very motivated especially after the loss in the first Test. Ends by saying they will come out all guns blazing in the last game and try and put the pressure on the Aussies.
Man of the Match, Morne Morkel, says it is an amazing moment for him. Admits he gave his all and is very happy with his performance. States he kept working on his fitness and delivered the goods. Ends by saying he is delighted to enter the 300-wicket club.
Australia's stand-in skipper, Tim Paine, says it has been a horrible 24 hours for them. Adds that he would like to take this opportunity and apologize to their fans. Admits the last session was really bad for them as they were very disappointing with the bat. Reckons they did have their chances but could never come on top. He believes they have enough time to put everything behind and come fighting in the next game.
Chasing 430, the Australian openers weathered the storm against the new ball and provided a fine start. But a moment of brilliance by Faf du Plessis after the tea break opened the floodgates. His direct hit removed Cameron Bancroft and from thereon, it was a great fall for Australia. From 57/0 to 107 all out, it has to be one of the worst collapses ever in their cricketing history. Morne Morkel with match figures of 9/110 utilized the conditions and his height to generate good bounce and posed a serious threat in both innings.
Returning to cricket again, it was a subdued morning today. Tim Paine led Australia to the park but their energy was visibly very low as they went through the motions. South Africa sensed the opportunity and seized it. They capitalized on some ordinary bowling and went on to set a mammoth target for the Aussies. Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon took three wickets apiece and the off spinner also completed 300 Test wickets in the process (earlier in this Test Morkel also achieved a similar feat).
Over to Day 3! Once again the Proteas enjoyed a good outing where they gained a 56-run lead and then batted with a lot of purpose. Aiden Markram and AB de Villiers showed their class and they looked set to run away with the game. Then came the controversial moment where Cameron Bancroft was caught on the cameras tampering with the ball. Later he admitted it and skipper Steven Smith went on to say in the press conference that their leadership was aware of this plan. For this, he has been banned for a Test match by the ICC along with losing 100 percent of his match fee. Though the real culprit gets away from any ban, he loses 75 percent of his match fee and bags three demerit points.
Let's talk about the game first and not the controversy. It was turning out to be one heck of a Test match. On the first day, Dean Elgar and company delivered with the bat but then Pat Cummins' deadly spell brought the visiting team back in the contest. The script remained the same on Day 2 where the home team once again enjoyed a couple of sessions only to get frustrated by the 9th wicket partnership between Tim Paine and Nathan Lyon. Courtesy that, the game nearly remained in balance with South Africa having their noses slightly in front.
All over! South Africa have taken an unassailable lead in the 4-match Test series. Smiles all around in the Protea camp. Now, the Australian players step out of their dressing room and are congratulating the home team. Morne Morkel who is on the last pit stop of his career is leading his team off the park. Tremendous effort from the big man, take a bow! This is also the second biggest win for South Africa against Australia in Tests (by runs) and they deserve every bit of this success.

Morne Morkel To Josh Hazlewood OUT!
OUT! Morkel gets a fifer, his 8th fifer in Tests! He finishes with 9 wickets in the match. Bangs it in short on middle, Hazlewood attempts the upper cut one more time. They have a man for him at fly slip and he falls into the trap this time. He hits it towards him. Philander there runs across, comes a little forward and then takes the catch going down on his knees. The South Africans are up and running in celebration as they have WON BY 322 RUNS!

FOUR! Up and over! Short ball outside off, Hazlewood goes for the upper cut. There is a fly slip for him as he played this shot a lot in the first innings. He though plays it away from that fielder and finds the fence.

Keshav Maharaj To Tim Paine
NOT OUT! Yes, it has pitched outside leg. Good use of the review by Paine. He survives to fight on. Maharaj tosses it up around leg, it turns away towards off after landing. Paine tries to flick but is beaten by the spin. It hits his back pad and the players appeal. The umpire raises his finger. Paine reviews. Time for the replays and the Hawk Eye shows it to be pitching well outside leg.
Have South Africa won it? Paine has been given out LBW but he reviews straightaway. Pitching might be an issue there.

Keshav Maharaj To Tim Paine OUT!
OUT! No, the dive has not saved Lyon! Nathan just like Holder in the World Cup qualifier final earlier in the day bags a diamond duck. Maharaj floats it up on off, Paine taps it towards covers and calls for a quick run as he wanted to keep strike. They go for it and Bavuma at covers it quick to the ball. He fires a throw to the keeper who whips the bails off. The players appeal and the umpire takes it upstairs. The South African fielders were not looking too confident but the replays roll in and it shows the dive has not saved Lyon. The evening keeps on getting better for the Proteas, just one wicket away now.
A run out appeal against Lyon and they have taken it upstairs. The South Africans are not confident. The dive must have saved Lyon.
