Durban sizzles at 27C as South Africa face Australia's veteran bowling quartet in a fourth-day Test showdown at Kingsmead.
South Africa's home soil is the stage once again, and Kingsmead in Durban is where the first Test against Australia hits day four. Play starts at 9.30am local time, with the Proteas looking to shift momentum in front of their own fans.
The forecast for Durban is sunny, fine and humid, with temperatures around 27C. Light could become a factor later in the day, and the sticky conditions should keep the bowlers interested whatever the batters have planned.
Australia's work in the field on the previous day centred on a core group of four bowlers with huge reputations. They were still running in strongly, and that experience and discipline has put real pressure on the hosts.
For South Africa, day four is about patience, shot selection and surviving the tough spells. In a Test where small margins decide everything, the Proteas know how much a strong session could change the match.
