Pat Cummins to Dean Elgar, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Pat Cummins and company certainly believe that they have got their man here. The umpires though converge and take it upstairs to confirm with the soft signal being Out. Coming to the delivery, it is a short ball, down the leg side. Dean Elgar looks to flick it off his hips but only gloves it on its way. Alex Carey dives in front of him and takes a solid low catch. The replays later confirm that Australia have got their man here.

Mitchell Starc to Sarel Erwee, OUT! LBW! Mitchell Starc draws first blood on Day 4! This is an excellent delivery to get rid of Sarel Erwee. Mitchell Starc nails the yorker, on middle, Sarel Erwee looks to dig it out, but is a bit late to put his bat down and gets hit on the toe first before the bat. There is an huge appeal for LBW, but turned down.

Australia finally get the breakthrough and South Africa lose their second.

Scott Boland to Theunis de Bruyn, OUT! CAUGHT AT SLIPS! Scott Boland gets into the action here and gets rid of Theunis de Bruyn. It is a good-length ball, angled into the batter. It nips away a bit off the deck. Theunis de Bruyn stays back and tries to block it away with hard hands. He gets a thick outside edge and it flies to Steven Smith at second slip. Although, Marnus Labuschagne for a while thought he could gather it from third slip and makes a dive to his left but pulls his hand out in time. The ball safely carries to Smith who makes no mistake. South Africa are in a spot of bother here.

Pat Cummins to Temba Bavuma, OUT! RUN OUT! Bullseye from the birthday boy, Travis Head and he puts South Africa in a precarious position here. It goes from bad to worse for the visitors. This is just silly running. Very poor decision from Bavuma here to go through with this risky single. It is a length ball, on off. Bavuma taps it to covers with soft hands and ventures out looking for a single. Travis Head charges towards the ball, dives forward and underarms it towards the striker's end to score a direct hit. Khaya Zondo is way out of the crease here. South Africa slip further.

Marnus Labuschagne throws it towards the bowler's end where Mitchell Starc collects it and hits bullseye at the batter's end to catch Maharaj short of his crease. The replay confirms it too. South Africa seven down now!

Steven Smith to Lungi Ngidi, OUT! TIMBER! Steven Smith gets the last wicket! That is that then from this Test! It is a fitting end as a leg-spinner finishes the game for Australia. Smith loops this up above the eye-line of the batter, on leg, Lungi Ngidi goes for the big heave, but plays all around it as the ball turns in from outside leg to rattle the off pole. A ball Shane Warne would have been proud of. Australian players are delighted and the handshakes are going on in the middle. Australia win by an innings and 182 runs to seal the series!
