Australia vs South Africa – Third Test, Day Three – Lunch

Hashim Amla started the third day of the third Test against Australia on 99 not out and ended the first session on 149 not out as South Africa took an imposing lead of 382. The Proteas took lunch at 320 for three with Amla and AB de Villiers (18 not out) at the crease.

Amla got his 18th Test century on the third ball of the day as he flicked Mitchell Johnson off his hips for a single to long leg. Amazingly, his 84-ball 100 included just 10 fours.

South Africa were eventually bowled out for 569, setting a target of 632 for Australia to win in the third and the final Test at Perth.
