Australia lead South Africa by 139 runs after Day 3 of first Test
Australia and South Africa are playing the first Test of their cricket series in Durban.
Australia made 390 in their first innings, then bowled South Africa out for 284.
That left Australia with a 106-run lead before their second innings began.
South Africa had been 197 for eight, but Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer added runs to limit the shortfall.
Australia reached 33 without losing a wicket, taking their overall lead to 139 runs.
Bad light brought Day 3 to an early close, after interruptions had already reduced the playing time.
Play is due to resume on Day 4, when South Africa will need to take wickets and Australia will look to extend their lead.
