Australia eyes series win as South Africa falters in third Test

In the ongoing third Test in Cape Town, Australia is closing in on victory against South Africa. After taking the last six South African wickets for 99 runs earlier in the day, Australia saw South Africa at 140-4 in their second innings, leading by just 40 runs. Careless dismissals, including those of Aiden Markram and David Bedingham, have hampered South Africa's attempt to build on their lead. Captain Temba Bavuma fell shortly before the day's end, further straining South Africa's chances. The match continues into day four with Australia needing to chase a target that will likely exceed 200 runs, making batting difficult as South Africa's spinner Simon Harmer dismissed two key players earlier in the day.
