South Africa beat Australia by 176 runs to win the third men's Test at Newlands in Cape Town and the series, according to The Guardian's live blog of the final day. Australia were chasing the target and lost two wickets in the first over. After two overs they were 13-2, with Travis Head on 9 and Cameron Green on 0. Head hit two boundaries off Jansen, and the blog said South Africa would be happy to keep feeding that shot in the hope of a mistake.
