South Africa continued their remarkable Test comeback against Australia after a stellar Marco Jansen performance helped force the Baggy Greens to follow on after being skittled for just 99 on day four.
Jansen (5-33) - who had already made a sizeable contribution after making 85 off 100 with the bat - led a ferocious Proteas bowling attack, aided by important contributions by the returning Kagiso Rabada (2-33) and all-rounder Wiaan Mulder (2-14), seeing off their opponents in just 42.4 overs.
South Africa reached 425/9 in their first innings before declaring, meaning Australia must immediately bat again, trailing by 326 runs.

Steve Smith - struggling with a neck injury throughout his innings - top-scored for Australia with a lowly 28, the only batter to score over 20 in a side that saw opener Nic Maddinson (0) and wicketkeeper Alex Carey among five of their 10 batters out for single figures.
The innings continues a sensational swing of momentum in the match sparked by South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma, who led his side from 110-6 to 425-9 with a momentous 179 off 334 balls.
The Proteas are seeking to level the series having been soundly defeated in the opener.

Warner slams 'pathetic' Test crowds in South Africa
Former Australia batter David Warner has hit out at the "pathetic" attendances in the ongoing Test series in South Africa.
South Africa lost the first Test match by 214 runs in Durban, with large sections of the Kingsmead ground empty, and the crowds haven't really picked up through the first two rain-affected days of the second Test in Gqeberha.

"We keep hearing how important Test cricket is, but where are the fans in South Africa?" Warner said in a social media post on Tuesday.
"Empty stands, no atmosphere, and we're supposed to believe the format is thriving?
"You can't keep calling Test cricket the pinnacle of the game if no one turns up to watch it.
"Harsh reality, but someone has to say it. Pathetic."
Warner, along with Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft, was part of the infamous 'sandpapergate' scandal that dominated Australia's last tour of South Africa in 2018. The then vice-captain was given a one-year ban and told he would never be considered for a leadership position within the team again.
