- South Africa secured victory over Australia on the final day in Gqeberha to level their three-match series at 1-1.
- South Africa needed six wickets heading into the fifth day for victory after enforcing the follow-on on Wednesday, but the opening session was washed out due to rain.
- Australia opener Travis Head then completed his century and was ably supported by Scott Boland as Australia threatened to rescue a draw.
- However, Head was eventually bowled by Wiaan Mulder for 112, with Mulder then going on to dismiss Boland and Australia captain Pat Cummins in the same manner.
- Josh Hazlewood was the final wicket to fall in the last session of the Test as South Africa sealed victory by an innings and 31 runs to set up a series decider next week in Cape Town.
