The third day of the second men's cricket Test match between South Africa and Australia saw South Africa reach a total of 103-5. During the 45th over, South African batter Wiaan Mulder added to his score, supported by Temba Bavuma, who reached 41 runs. The session included a minor fielding error by Australian player Scott Boland, who failed to stop a glance from Mulder that resulted in a boundary. This moment was noted as a point of frustration for Australian captain Pat Cummins.
