Australia suffered a dramatic collapse on the final day of the third Test against South Africa, per The Guardian. Simon Harmer spun the match to a South African series victory after Australia slumped to 60-7.

David Warner's prediction that Australia would win and Labuschagne would score over 100 not out was proven wrong as the team struggled in pursuit of 288, Bloomberg reports. The collapse left South Africa on the verge of a series win.

South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada became the fastest bowler to reach 350 wickets in Test cricket, according to Reuters. His performance was instrumental in Australia's downfall and sealed the victory for the home team in the third Test.
