South Africa beat Australia by 176 runs to win series: third Test, day five – as it happened
South Africa thumped Australia by 176 runs at Newlands as the hosts' bowling attack produced fireworks to clinch a 2-1 victory in the three-match series between the countries and propel the Proteas to the top of the ICC Men's Test Team Rankings.
Key points
- Two boundaries, but if I were South Africa, I’d happily feed that shot a few times looking for the mistake.….
- Misses his first flail, connects cleanly with his second one along the ground, and connects dirty with his third, in the air through the cordon but safe.
- He gets moving from the fifth ball, knocks a single into the off side.
Australia’s batters crumbled as Simon Harmer took six for 16 to seal a series victory for South Africa at Newlands 3rd over: Australia 14-2 (Head 9, Green 1) Brave of Green to leave the ball outside off.
Additional details
- Defends three balls from Jansen, then lets loose as he sees width.
- Similar spot to the one that got Marnus, a touch fuller perhaps.
