PLAYER RATINGS: Australia embarrassed by South Africa as axe sharpens for Cape Town decider
Key points
- Australia slumped to an innings defeat against South Africa in Gqeberha, leaving the series tied 1-1 ahead of the Third Test in Cape Town. Rain delays cost 145 overs across the match.
- Travis Head scored a century and was one of few bright spots for the Australian batters. Nic Maddinson, Marnus Labuschagne and Matthew Renshaw struggled, and selectors face questions over several places in the side.
- Scott Boland was the team's most effective bowler, taking five wickets and batting for more than three hours in the second innings.
