Well, about this time yesterday, in a post not dissimilar to this one, I wrote something along the lines of "welcome to what will surely be the final day of the 2025 World Test Championship decider."It surely wasn't the final day of the 2025 World Test Championship. That's because it is today that is surely the final day of the 2025 World Test Championship. South Africa is well and truly in the driving seat with 69 more runs required for victory and eight wickets in hand. Australia needs a miracle.

Steve Smith and Temba Bavuma both end up in the hands of medical staff, as Mitchell Starc scores his first 50 in six years. Here are five quick hits from the third day of the World Test Championship decider. Things started well for South Africa on day three. In perfect June sunshine, the irresistible Kagiso Rabada wound up, steamed in and had Nathan Lyon trapped plumb in front in the day's third over.

After first innings of 212 and 138, Australia leads by 218 runs with two wickets left in its second dig. Based on what we've seen, that already looks like a tricky target, but with a bit of sunshine, the pitch may calm down on day three and give South Africa a good shot at a chase. Mitchell Starc (16*) is already one of just three batters in this innings (and one of eight for the whole game) to score more than 13 runs.

Last week, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the creation of a monetary fund and taskforce to support the displaced Afghan women's cricket team. The pledge was both long awaited and somewhat out of the blue. Since the Taliban's takeover of the country in 2021, the team has lived in exile, mostly in Canberra and Melbourne, and up until last week's announcement, the ICC had been conspicuously silent on the issue.
