AUSTRALIA v SOUTH AFRICA, DAY 3
* SCORE: Australia 243 & 5-180, South Africa 382
* MAN OF THE MOMENT: Kagiso Rabada. The express paceman now has eight wickets in the match after dismissing Usman Khawaja with seven minutes of play remaining on day three.
* KEY MOMENT: Steve Smith was out edging to left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj for the second time in the series. Australia looked in immense trouble at 3-77, with Smith and David Warner both back in the sheds.
* STAT OF THE DAY: AB de Villiers has now scored 197 runs in this series and only been dismissed once (technically by David Warner, although it's fair to say batting partner Aiden Markram had a big role in the Durban run out).
* SUMMARY: Australia are ahead by 41 runs. If their tail wags on day four it could set the stage for an intriguing finish, but that's a big if given the way the Proteas have bowled in this match.
* QUOTE OF THE DAY: "He's got to be smarter and he knows that." - DE VILLIERS says repeat offender Rabada must behave better and stop delivering send-offs.
