Ryan Rickelton e Wiaan Mulder viraram o terceiro Teste na Cidade do Cabo com séculos no quarto dia, deixando a Austrália com um alvo de 288 para vencer a partida e a série.
A Austrália não deixou a posição escapar: ela lhe foi tomada. Um ataque de quatro homens que começou o dia com 1.674 wickets conseguiu acrescentar apenas mais quatro, terminando em 1.678, enquanto uma vantagem de 40 crescia para 287.
O âncora improvável foi Rickelton, especialista em formato curto que vive de blocos de T20. Nesta série, Josh Hazlewood o dominou em Durban, onde ele fez zero e dois, e ele quase não apareceu em Gqeberha, com 31. Na Cidade do Cabo, trocou a pressa pela paciência e, com Matthew Breetzke, absorveu tudo o que os lançadores renovados mandaram.
A primeira sessão rendeu 62 corridas e empurrou a vantagem para 102. Breetzke saiu perto do almoço, finalmente cedendo ao impulso com um pull para long leg — encerrando uma sequência de 372 bolas sem wicket de Pat Cummins, inédita na carreira dele.
Rickelton, porém, estava assentado, e Mulder igualou sua teimosia. Nathan Lyon seguiu girando, encontrando bordas e desvios, mas sem prêmio. A parceria chegou a 154 e a vantagem, a 235, antes de Rickelton sair por 101, eliminado por corrida numa improvisação de Marnus Labuschagne: Mulder abandonou o sweep para o reverse, tocou de ponta um full toss na direção de Inglis em backward point, e o arremesso pegou Rickelton fora do seu ground.
Então veio o desabamento. Marco Jansen caiu para zero, Simon Harmer deixou a bola passar no giro de Lyon, e Gerald Coetzee foi eliminado por corrida com um arremesso direto de Labuschagne. Nove abaixo e 251 à frente, a África do Sul parecia curta — até Mulder ir de 82 a 115, administrando o ataque com Kagiso Rabada ao lado, e ser eliminado no último over do dia tentando o quinto seis.
Uma partida tão equilibrada agora tem um quinto dia para separar os lados: 288 para fazer, e a série junto.
