South Africa vs Australia 2018: 3rd Test, day 3, 5 things we learnt from the day

#3 Cameron Bancroft in a soup after ball tampering caught on cam

Bancroft was spotted using a yellow substance to shine the ball

Australia, after all the whining, find themselves in a soup after Cameron Bancroft was spotted using a yellow substance (possibly sandpaper) to shine the ball on camera.

The footage showed Bancroft rubbing the rough side of the ball with a foreign substance and the umpires, Nigel Llong and Richard Illingworth were seen talking to the Aussie opener.

Interestingly, Peter Handscomb was sent onto the field by Darren Lehmann immediately after the footage came up and was seen talking to Bancroft, possibly to hide the object used.

When queried by the officials, Bancroft showed a black piece of cloth but footage clearly captures him using a yellow object.

Hmmm. Not quite the same thing... pic.twitter.com/AEQmPjWUon
