An excellent day for the seamers, Australia got a lot of wickets and South Africa got three important wickets, South Africa are still on top as they lead by 339 runs. Australia are the ones under-pressure as a wicket here will expose their middle-order. Join us tomorrow at 23:30GMT for the 4th day, till then goodbye
07:38 GMT: End of the session's play
07:38 GMT: Close of play for the day
23:06 GMT: Start of play for the day
Hello and welcome, after losing three quick wickets these two batsmen Cown and Clarke look comfortable against the South African seam attack. Later in the evening session of day 3 South Africa's bowling got poor as they bowled a lot of no balls and allowed Australia to score over 100. Australia still trail by 339 runs, this will be an important day for both sides as if Australia lose some more wickets then South Africa will surely think of Australia to follow-on
Well earlier it was hot and sunny at the Gabba but now Clouds have covered everything and rain is falling at a low rate

What a fantastic day for Australia. South Africa were hammered by Ed Cowan, hammered by MEK Hussey and completely dominated by MJ Clarke. Australia were struggling from the start in the Test, their bowling didn't look strong, they lost three quick wickets while batting but these three players, Ed Cowan, MEK Hussey and the skipper leading from the fron MJ Clarke have changed everything. By this looks of this Test, it seems that South Africa underestimated the Australian attack and are now paying the price, Smith used three part-timers today including himself. Join us tomorrow at 23:30GMT for the final day's play
