1:15pm Hazlewood to start. Three slips and a gully.

Joe Yates: "..and that's where this game no longer resembles Kolkata 2001."

Dev: "Is it the team that's about to bat that decides the roller ? If so then why wouldn't anyone choose the heavy roller?" --- Yes. A heavy roller could sometimes cause the soil to break up in dry conditions, for one...

James: "If I was Faf I would look to bat again and get a 500+ lead then give Australia 30 minutes or so before lunch tomorrow. "

Iain Climie: "Paine deserves considerable credit for making those runs; he's been chucked in the deep end with a concrete life jacket this week. "

sankar4787: "Oh what a catch that was!!! Reminiscent of a certain Van Persie of the dutch..."

Kunal: "That's the most breathtaking act Dean Elgar has ever done on a cricket field. No scratching about on that one. What a catch!!!"

Raza: "Being one bowler short South Africa cannot enforce follow on .. they have to bat again and give some target to Aussies."

1:05pm That's Elgar's 50th Test catch, Firdose tells me. He's the fourth-fastest South African to that mark. Whew. He's run straight off the field after taking it, so that should solve the follow-on mystery; South Africa unlikely to enforce it. Yep, they've opted for the heavy roller. A 267-run lead for South Africa. They were on the field longer than they would have liked today, and they have a wounded Morkel on the field. Hard to think of the follow-on under these circumstances. And Australia have Tim Paine and Pat Cummins to thank. What a gritty partnership between the two, with half-centuries to boot. Have they kept Australia in with a slim chance of something resembling a respectable result?

Chris: "Don't think I've ever seen a batsman turn down a run on 49! Incredible team first play by Paine."

Slip and short leg but the rest of the field has plenty of singles on offer

Paine trusts Hazlewood to play out Maharaj.

Peterwarrington: "I think Paine is again guilty of not playing enough shots once the wickets start falling." --- Well he's only been out there two overs after lunch and two wickets have fallen

Paine's perfect hook shot still amazes me every time...

Wasi Mohsin: "Dean Elgar after catch acting or is it required to get down on the grass tumbling." --- He lost balance when he stretched upwards.

By the way, Morkel was out during lunch and bowled a few balls
