🔮 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.

live NRL live: Canberra Raiders vs Brisbane Broncos, Dolphins vs Parramatta Eels Brisbane mounts a stunning second-half fightback to deny retiring Raiders great Josh Papali'i a win in his final game at Canberra Stadium. asserted

Brisbane → mount → Stadium

The loss ends the Raiders' faint finals hopes. asserted

loss → end → hopes

At Lang Park, the Dolphins are hoping to consolidate their place in the league's top four against the Eels. asserted

Dolphins → hop → Eels

Choose what information you see below by using filters 34' asserted

you → choose → filters

The Eels are finding some space and almost break down the right, but Selwyn Cobbo just manages to shut down Brian Kelly. asserted

Cobbo → find → Kelly

Still, these sides are throwing the ball around; the Dolphins because that's their style and the Eels because they've got nothing to lose. asserted

they → throw → nothing

The Dolphins' fifth tackle play almost sends Jamayne Isaako over on the right, but that's shut down, so they spin it back left and Herbie Farnworth finds it in his heart to draw and pass out to Selwyn Cobbo. asserted

Farnworth → send → Cobbo

He sets sail for the tryline, but steps inside the cover and dives in. asserted

He → set → cover

Jamayne Isaako converts and just like that the Dolphins lead 12-10 with 10 minutes left in the first half. asserted

minutes → convert → half

Key Event Perfect execution by the Phins off the scrum The Dolphins pack the scrum out on the right with shape all out left. asserted

Dolphins → pack → shape

Kodi Nikorima has his pick out wide, fakes to Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow out the back but plays short to Herbie Farnworth, who bursts through the tackle of Mitchell Moses to score the hosts' opener. asserted

who → have → opener

And Isaiya Katoa caps the set with a grubber into the in-goal that forces a scrum for an accidental off side. asserted

that → cap → side

Key Event Brian Kelly accepts a gift from the Dolphins The ball-handling error from Herbie Farnworth after a mountain of defence hands the Eels another chance and this time Will Penisini's exceptional offload unleashes Brian Kelly to score in the corner. asserted

offload → accept → corner

14' The Dolphins don't lose their captain's challenge despite an incorrect challenge asserted

Dolphins → lose → challenge

The Dolphins challenge a no-penalty call on an aerial contest between Will Penisini and Herbie Farnworth. asserted

Dolphins → challenge → Penisini

And, despite the challenge being pretty clearly wrong, they're keeping their challenge for some reason. asserted

they → keep → reason

13' Isaiya Katoa goes close for the Phins Isaiya Katoa grubbers into space and has the ball just in front of him but he opts not to dive on it. asserted

he → go → it

He's bumped out by a late-arriving Josh Addo-Carr, who shows great urgency to knock the ball dead at the last second. asserted

who → bump → second

Volkman opens the scoring for the Eels The Eels absorb the pressure from the Eels, force a bad kick and then, with some field position and momentum, move quickly and Ronald Volkman capitalises on some retreating defence, getting out of dummy half and bursting through the tackle of Morgan Knowles and Tom Flegler to crash over. asserted

Volkman → open → Knowles

The Dolphins and Eels are underway in Brisbane The Phins kick off and Junior Paulo marks it just inside the dead-ball line. asserted

Paulo → mark → line

Brisbane pulls off a stunning comeback to end the Raiders' finals hopes asserted

Brisbane → pull → hopes

The Broncos, who at times this year have looked utterly clueless and a shadow of their 2025 selves, pull off another brilliant comeback just as they did at this ground in the first week of the finals last year to spoil Josh Papali'i's party and extinguish Canberra's faint finals hopes. asserted

they → look → hopes

Brisbane trailed 30-16 with just 18 minutes left in the game but found the energy and some execution in attack to score 18 unanswered points and silence this Canberra Stadium crowd. asserted

Brisbane → trail → crowd

Payne Haas was, as usual, one of Brisbane's best and it was his fortuitous try that sparked the comeback, while Billy Walters, Ben Hunt and replacement fullback Hayze Perham were also key orchestrators out there. asserted

Walters → spark → comeback

Key Event 80' KARAPANI SAVES THE DAY!! asserted

KARAPANI → save → DAY

After surrendering the ball to Matty Nicholson to give the Raiders a chance, Josiah Karapani comes up with a brilliant try-saver to force Xavier Savage into touch out on the right wing! asserted

Karapani → surrender → wing

80' BRONCOS KNOCK IT ON! asserted

BRONCOS → knock → IT

Josiah Karapani drops it and the Raiders will have one more set! asserted

Raiders → drop → set

79' The Broncos have the ball with 68 seconds left asserted

seconds → have → ball

The Raiders' spiral bomb is marked by Hayze Perham 5 metres off the Broncos' tryline and they need to hang on to end the game. asserted

they → mark → game

We have an absolute mess for the bunker to check Ethan Strange beats about half of the Broncos' defenders and rolls in a grubbers it through for a flying Kaeo Weekes. He has the ball and tryline at his mercy, but the ball takes a miserable bounce for the Raiders fullback and Xavier Willison is rewarded for chasing back. Willison nabs the high bouncing ball and Weekes knocks on as he tries to steal the ball back. asserted

he → have → ball

Key Event HAYZE PERHAM GIVES THE BRONCOS THE LEAD!! asserted

PERHAM → give → LEAD

Ben Hunt digs into the line on the last just as he did in the last set, but this time he throws the ball out the back to Hayze Perham, who beats Matt Timoko for speed and dives over the line to score! Is it August 21, 2026 or is it week one of the 2025 finals all over again? And Perham converts for a 34-30 lead inside the final five minutes. 73' asserted

Perham → dig → minutes

Back to back errors Ben Hunt knocks on a ball out in front of him and then, from the scrum, Ethan Strange fumbles Tom Starling's pass. asserted

Strange → knock → pass

71' Strange and Papa save the day Ben Hunt tries to dink another kick in behind to catch the Raiders out of position, but it hits Ethan Strange's hand and Josh Papali'i is on the spot to fall on the ball.

Staggs → save → it

Are they going to do it again? asserted

they → go → it

Deine Mariner and Josiah Karapani break down the right off a Payne Haas face ball. asserted

Mariner → break → ball

That opens up the field and Ben Hunt spies the space on the right wing where Grant Anderson puts his hand up. asserted

Anderson → open → hand

Hunt puts the kick over the top perfectly for Anderson to hit it at full speed and he steps inside Kaeo Weekes to score. asserted

he → put → Weekes

Hayze Perham converts! asserted

Perham → convert → ?
