South Africa beats Australia by an innings and 31 runs to tie the test series 1-1
South Africa has set up a series decider with a big comeback win over Australia by an innings and 31 runs on the last day of the second cricket test in Gqeberha. The morning session was a washout and South Africa was without one frontline bowler, the injured Anrich Nortje. But the Proteas bowled out Australia for 295 in its second innings an hour after tea.
South Africa has tied the series 1-1 and the two leaders in the World Test Championship will play for the series win in Cape Town from Tuesday. Australia resumed on 156-4 and opener Travis Head hit 121. But his dismissal before tea began Australia's unravelling. Wiaan Mulder took three of the six wickets South Africa needed on day five.
