It’s been a week marred in controversy after Australia’s ball-tampering episode in Cape Town, but it’s time to turn the focus back to cricket, with the fourth Test against South Africa set to be played in Johannesburg. This is The Roar‘s guide to streaming the match online and watching it on TV.

The match is scheduled to start today, with play to start at 7pm (AEDT) on each day. Note, with daylight savings finishing on Sunday, Day 3, 4 and 5, should the match go that far will, begin at 6pm (AEST).

How to watch the match on TV

Outside of the Ashes, free-to-air broadcasters don’t cover series outside Australia. This is no exception and the only way to watch the fourth Test will be on Fox Sports.

From there, the match will be broadcast on Channel 507 – also known as Fox Sports More – with coverage set to start at 6pm (AEDT) on Day 1 and 6:30pm (AEDT) on Day 2.
