Australia vs South Africa LIVE: Inglis reaches his second Test ton, but star South African spinner has the last laugh

Another day of unbroken sunshine in Cape Town to aid the Australian batsmen and also dry a pitch which occasionally offered expansive spin out of the footmarks on day two.

Josh Inglis is unbeaten on 85 and it’s worth remembering who championed him early on as a player of Test match capabilities: Shane Warne.

Australia have set up the chance for a series victory over South Africa after they type of day of batting they have long craved, with Marnus Labuschagne’s career-threatening duck the only blight in Cape Town.

Australia went to stumps on day two of the series-deciding third Test at 4-330 in reply to South Africa’s first-innings 329, with the lead and control of the game.

Pat Cummins’ decision to bowl first was heavily criticised, particularly after South Africa reached 0-140 at lunch on day one before Mitchell Starc’s six-wicket haul.

But Starc’s wickets gave his batters the favourable conditions to go to work on Wednesday, putting on one of their most well-rounded batting displays in years under blue Cape Town skies.

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

According to AccuWeather, Cape Town is expecting warm, sunny conditions again with a forecast high of 26 and a low of 18 with some wind around.
