Day five, the decider
Does it get any better than this?
The final day of the final Test and everything is still on the line.
The honours in the match? Yes.
The honours in the series? Yes.
The lead in the World Test Championship? Pretty much.
South Africa proved yesterday that this was still a pitch where application and disciplined approach can reap rewards.
Australia now needs to show that same discipline to save, and perhaps even win the Test themselves.
My name is Simon Smale, Chris de Silva is here with me, and we're both thrilled to be able to take you through a cracking series decider.
Will it be glory for Australia? Or will South Africa and this wearing pitch make the day a nightmare on this All Hallows' Eve...
