AUSTRALIA v SOUTH AFRICA, DAY 3
* SCORE: Australia 351 & 9-213, South Africa 162.
* MAN OF THE MOMENT: Cameron Bancroft. The opener was under pressure after a lean trot continued with a first-innings failure in Durban but he top-scored with a confidence-boosting 53.
* KEY MOMENT: Steve Smith proves he is human after all. The world's best batsman was trapped lbw by part-time spinner Dean Elgar during the post-lunch session.
* STAT OF THE DAY: Keshav Maharaj has eight wickets for the match. No South African spinner has enjoyed a more productive home Test in the post-apartheid era, except for Paul Harris at Cape Town in 2009.
* SUMMARY: Australia are incredibly well placed to take a 1-0 lead in the four-Test series. It wasn't their best day with the bat but a lead of at least 402 runs will give the visiting bowlers plenty to play with on a slow pitch that is misbehaving.
* QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I call that process after you've got out grieving, you just digest your dismissal, you digest where you could get better and from there formulate some actions to improve." - Bancroft explains what ran through his mind after a forgettable first-innings dismissal.
