Hashim Amla 59 and AB de Villiers 56 showed resistance but their departure left their side on a precarious 193-7.

Makhaya Ntini and Dale Styen held out for over 17 overs adding a defiantĀ 50 runs for the ninth wicket. The South Africans had already clinched the three match series after winning the first two Tests in Perth and Melbourne.
