South Africa have sealed an historic Test series victory in Australia, winning the second Test after reaching 183 for the loss of just one wicket.

The emphatic victory came after the captain thumped an impressive 75 before losing his wicket shortly before lunch.
It is Australia's first defeat in a home series for 16 years.
The world's three leading news agencies are not covering the series due to a dispute with Cricket Australia.
Reuters, Agence France-Presse and Associated Press have suspended all coverage of the 2008-09 season.
Their photographers and reporters did not supply material from within the ground. As a result, we cannot use pictures from the current match.
