Umpires decide to start the South African innings after lunch. It looks as if BC lead of 243 may just be achievable by the South African batsmen, especially on batting heavens such as this, where bowlers are not getting any help even on the 5th day, and the Sprinboks will have around 50 overs to work with.

243 runs in 2 session is a great declaration to be honest. It was an optimistic, attacking declaration and one I wholeheartedly agree with. If we're going to win this series then we have to win matches, not play for draws and batting fourth on the fifth day will never be easy

And for god's sake they're called the Proteas

i hadn't read this thread until yesterday and it was actually fun to follow! Just came back for the exciting conclusion - dissapointed to see we lost! I have my doubts about the scoreline, there's no way we only took one wicket with the pitch turning as much as it did!
