South Africa Defeat Australia by Innings to Level Test Series 1-1
South Africa secured a commanding innings-and-31-run victory over Australia in the second Test at St George's Park, Gqeberha, leveling the three-match series 1-1. Captain Temba Bavuma's career-best 179, supported by Marco Jansen's 85 and Simon Harmer's 82, helped South Africa recover from 110 for six to post 425 for nine declared. Jansen took five wickets as Australia were dismissed for 99 and forced to follow on. Despite Travis Head's fighting century of 121 in the second innings, South Africa's bowlers wrapped up the match, setting up a series decider in Cape Town.
