South Africa wins by 109 runs and wrap up a 2-0 series victory, and take a big step towards reaching the World Test Championship Final.

However the latter fell early in the morning and from that point South Africa were ruthless, taking the last five wickets for 33 runs to race to victory, Keshav Maharaj taking a five-wicket haul.
