At the end of Day 4, South Africa leads by 287 runs, going 387 all out through 134.4 overs. Test tons by Ryan Rickelton (101, third) and Wiaan Mulder (115, fourth) all but eliminated unforced errors on a pitch that was slow.
Australia's big wins chasing in the fourth innings have been 282 in Birmingham and 281 in Christchurch (cc: @benjonescricket)
Average runs per day over the first four days: 286.25. Australia require 288 to win. Exciting Day 5 to come.

The Cape Town Test is a decider, but also a significant game for umpire Richard Kettleborough.
He’s officiating at his 100th Test becoming the first English umpire to reach the landmark.
Hear from Kettleborough in the TMS PODCAST.

🪖 Pte. Liam Ramage, 27, is fighting for his life after the CFB Wainwright fire.
Third and fourth degree burns over 40% of his body, face, head, neck, hands, arms, legs. He can’t see. Barely move or speak. Months of surgeries and skin grafts ahead.
Four brothers killed. Dozens more critically burned. He still tried to help others.
Blood donors saved him. 🩸 Canadians: donate blood, support his recovery, demand the very best for our troops.
They signed the blank cheque. We owe them more. 🇨🇦

Canadians deserve answers about the Prime Minister’s push for a closer relationship with the European Union.
Today, Conservatives moved a motion at committee to study how this closer relationship could affect Canada’s identity, culture, sovereignty, and the rights of Canadians.
The Liberals shut down debate.
These are important questions that deserve serious scrutiny, not silence.
Canadians have a right to know what this means for our country, our sovereignty, and our future. Why won't Liberals let this be studied?

This is absolutely disgraceful.
Our fallen soldiers gave their lives defending the freedoms we enjoy today. Many paid the ultimate sacrifice and never made it home.
Wearing a poppy is a small gesture of respect for an enormous sacrifice.
Anyone serving Canadians should understand what that symbol means.
You don’t have to wear a poppy by law. But refusing to honour our fallen deserves serious questions.
Lest we forget. 🇨🇦

Sri Lanka beats Pakistan by 8 wickets with 191 balls remaining after Pakistan fall 110 all out through 25.3 overs.
England's match against Sri Lanka on Thursday will have no impact on the standings.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka will meet in the ODI Tri-Nations Final this Saturday. This is why it is great to have ODI multilateral series back.
