South Africa completed victory over Australia by an innings and 20 runs in the third test at Newlands on Sunday, despite an entertaining maiden test century from Mitchell Johnson.

Johnson hammered 123 not out but it was in a losing cause, as Australia were bowled out for 422, shortly before the scheduled close on the fourth day.
