• South Africa regain top spot in Test rankings

• Harmer takes career-best six for 16 at Newlands

At the start of the fifth day in Cape Town, the contest was set up beautifully: 288 for Australia to chase, a day in which to do it, on a surface that had been sporting but allowed batters to flourish when set. A kettle and a cup of tea later, Australia were ripped open by Kagiso Rabada and gobbled up by Simon Harmer, losing two wickets in the first over, four in the first hour, and seven by lunch. Two putrid batting displays back to back, their all out 99 in what should have been an easy draw in Gqeberha, then 111 all out here to lose the match, the series, and the world No 1 ranking.

During one of Australia’s great former humiliations, the all-out 47 on this same ground in 2011, one of the piquant notes was that a young Nathan Lyon top scored from No 11. Fifteen years later, having worked his way up one spot in the batting order, he did so again with 33 not out. That bravery through the second session, taking over from Cameron Green to join captain Pat Cummins, who defended for nearly 30 overs, underlines how dire the rest of the side was. The third-highest score was extras with 16.
