It’s Day 4 at the MCG as Australia looks to secure the Test series against South Africa with an innings victory. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 10am (AEDT).

The second Test has been nothing short of a masterclass from the Australians so far. With the ball, they have bowled tight lines, with Cameron Green leading the way on Day 1 with a maiden five-wicket haul.

David Warner silenced the critics with a double hundred in the scorching heat during his milestone 100th Test, while Alex Carey scored his maiden Test century – courtesy of some great resistance shown from Green with the bat.

South Africa’s batting has some soul-searching to do as they face a Test series loss in Australia for the first time in 17 years. Dean Elgar has failed to lead from the front as skipper, which means the other senior player in Temba Bavuma and the rest of the Protea’s top order has to show some fight to try to push this contest to day five.

While you do expect this Test to be over within day four or early day five, we could see a few careers in the Proteas’ batting lineup take off with a big knock or two should they step up under huge pressure.
