Hurry up and win, Australia. No other outcome seems likely in the first cricket test. All that's unknown is when South Africa's defeat will be complete.
Some time today is a distinct possibility, what with the Australians 402 runs ahead at a ground where teams have only twice successfully chased more than 300 to win.
Both of those games featured the Australians - they won one, South Africa the other, and both were dead rubbers.
This match is very much alive. Or it was until South Africa made a hash of their first innings, which amounted to a mediocre 162.
Since then they have been in the business of damage control, which seldom works against opponents as efficient as Australia.
Australia were 213/9 in their second innings when bad light forced the close 20 overs early in a batting performance that, Cameron Bancroft's 53 apart, was about guts more than glory in conditions that are only going to become more difficult for the team batting last, as South Africa will do today.
Keshav Maharaj wheeled away for 28 overs to add figures of 3/93 to the 5/123 he took in Australia's first innings of 351. He has become South Africa's leading spinner in wickets taken in a Kingsmead test since readmission.
Morne Morkel took 3/42 after tea yesterday.
Worthy though those two bowling efforts were, they were also footnotes in the more compelling narrative that Australia have been the better team by some distance on all three days so far.
South Africa's batting and bowling in this match have been scarred by the consequences of asking for overly fast pitches in the series against India last month.
Even though they are now on a more recognisably South African surface - the kind Australians grow up on - their batsmen have already been deprived of confidence in their footwork and decision making.
That this did not apply to AB de Villiers on Friday, when he scored an unbeaten 71 - almost half the total - only emphasises his exceptionalism.
South Africa's bowlers looked as if they expected the pitch to do more than its fair share of the work, like it did too often against the Indians.
And when it didn't, their aggression curdled into frustration, which was turned into runs by the grateful Australians.
Maharaj has shown admirable discipline in the face of all that, and Morkel worked out what he needed to do, eventually.
Kagiso Rabada, too, kept the high-octane faith.
But with every run added as a familiar gloom descended on Kingsmead yesterday, all present knew the inconvenient truth: that barring a miracle Australia will win the opening game of the four-test series...
