11:27A running mix-up ends Rickelton's innings.

14:53Mulder reaches his century and punches the air.
15:46South Africa's innings ends; Australia's target for the deciding chase is confirmed.

Ryan Rickelton celebrates his century with the home crowd. Moments later in Fox Cricket's highlights, a mix-up with Wiaan Mulder leaves him run out, cutting short the innings that helped South Africa rebuild their lead.

That abrupt change is at the heart of the channel's day-four package from the deciding Test against Australia. Rickelton and Mulder both reach centuries, but Australia's fielding keeps interrupting South Africa's progress. Marnus Labuschagne later throws down the stumps directly to run out Gerald Coetzee.

Mulder carries on, punching the air when he reaches his hundred. His eventual dismissal, caught by Mitchell Starc off Pat Cummins, leaves Australia needing 288 to win both the match and the series.

The highlights have reached nearly 100,000 views in nine hours, an opening well ahead of Fox Cricket's usual pace for regular videos. The comment section is already several times busier than a normal full first day. Viewers are discussing the cost of the run-outs, calling for longer Australia-South Africa Test series and identifying which batters and spinners could shape the chase.

Fox Cricket has also given the Rickelton run-out a separate upload. Its Follow On Podcast pairs Courtney Walsh with Daniel Cherny to examine the centuries and Australia's task, while Brendon Julian's day-five preview turns to the final day's stakes.

What a great test match its been, and what a great test series its been too. AUS AND SAF really needs to play 5 tests , the competition is really even. They both have the dog in them. I love it, and this is true test cricket at its finest. Going to be a challenging run chase for australia.

Great opportunity now for Marnus to hit back at the critics and save the team with a massive century. No pressure.
