Australia and South Africa are playing their third and final Test match of the series at Adelaide. It is a dead rubber as South Africa have already won the Test series as they destroyed Australia completely in the first two Test matches. However, the Test is still very interesting and both the teams are contesting as hard as they can. The Test match is a day/night and pink ball is being used in the match. This also means completely different strategies are being planned for the match. Like South African captain Faf Du Plessis declared their innings for 259 /9 as he wanted the Australians to play a few overs in the night. Australia survived the scare as they were unharmed at the close of play. Captain Du Plessis made a hundred for South Africa. Hazelwood was the pick of the bowlers as he took 4 wickets.

Batsmen are sill not habitual of playing the pink ball. And that is how the pink ball behaved in the morning. Australian pacers created a lot of issues for the South Africans.

Mitchell Starc struck early as he got Elgar out. But he was worried whether he has overstepped the line or not.

PUMPED… but also a little bit worried about that front foot #AUSvSA pic.twitter.com/DEI7QLHhGV

Later Hazelwood got Hashim Amla yet again. This was the fourth time he has got him out in the series.

This was a great ball by Nathan Lyon.

Lyon beats the bat, but de Kock follows up with a boundary.

Australian captain Steve Smith was at his sarcastic best. It was some kind of a send-off.

Du Plessis completes his hundred.
