PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (Reuters) - Hashim Amla's blistering stroke-play and Morne Morkel's fearsome bowling put South Africa in control of the second test against Australia as they closed the third day on 192 for four on Saturday.

The Proteas led by 369 runs with six second-innings wickets remaining and two days to go on a ground where the highest score chased down for victory was 271 by Australia in 1997.
