Australia tighten grip on Day 3 as Lyon removes Bavuma in dramatic final moments

Australia tightened their control over the decisive third Test against South Africa as Nathan Lyon bowled the home captain late on day three at Newlands. South Africa closed the day at 140/4 in their second essay, holding a slender 40-run advantage with six wickets remaining after erasing a 100-run first-innings deficit.

Earlier, Australia posted 429 courtesy of a 185-run stand between Josh Inglis, who compiled a century, and Alex Carey, who added 80 runs before Simon Harmer dismantled the lower order with four wickets.
