We are back with the third and final session of Day 4. The Umpires are already out in the middle and the Kiwi fielders enter the field from the dressing room before spreading to the field. Keegan Petersen and David Bedingham to resume their innings for South Africa. Kyle Jamieson (8-1-30-2) to lead the proceedings with the ball. Let's play...
...DAY 4, THIRD SESSION...
SESSION SUMMARY - 111 runs and 2 wickets in 28 overs! South Africa will be pretty happy going into Tea! Just like the first session, the Kiwis were able to pick up a couple of early wickets, and this time it was Kyle Jamieson. However, even though they created a few half chances here and there, they couldn't build on that and allowed the batters to settle in and build up another stand. Raynard van Tonder and Zubayr Hamza would have been disappointed as they couldn't convert their starts into something significant. After that, Keegan Petersen and David Bedingham looked strong out there with the former holding one end solidly and the latter taking on an ultra-aggressive approach. The Kiwis went with the short-ball plan to Bedingham who initially ducked a few but then decided to take on every ball. Till now, he has shown great control over his pull shot and has smashed it on will. He took this opportunity to register a brilliant fifty quickly and is unbeaten on 84 going into the break. This pair has added exactly 100 runs and will look to continue like this and hope to stay there till Stumps to give the Proteas a chance to save this Test. Will the short-ball plan work for the Kiwis? Or will David Bedingham get to his maiden Test hundred? Join us at 8.30 am (3 am GMT) to find out in the last session.
