Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

🔮 The state of play The equations are pretty simple today: - South Africa is 4-102 with Aiden Markram (45) and Wiaan Mulder (5) at the crease - The Proteas are still 319 runs from an unlikely victory - Australia needs six more wickets - We are supposed to squeeze in 98 overs today The only complicating factor will be whether light will cut the day short as it did on the first three days?
🔮 It would be a shame if the tourists were to lose or draw this one after another incredibly professional display on day three, but they have control of the Test, so it's on them to force the issue.
