Australia's pursuit of a series-clinching victory hit immediate trouble on the final day of the third Test at Newlands, losing two wickets in the opening over to leave them at 5-2 and then 13-2 after two overs. Travis Head, who opened the innings, was left unbeaten on 9 while Matt Renshaw and David Travis Head, who opened the innings, was left unbeaten on 9 while Matt Renshaw and David Warner fell cheaply to Marco Jansen, both caught behind by Kyle Verreynne.

The early blows have shifted momentum firmly towards South Africa, who are seeking a consolation win in the three-match series. Australia need a further 180 runs with eight wickets in hand, but the new-ball movement and South Africa's aggressive field placements have made batting treacherous.
