Australia humbled in Cape Town
Australia were dismissed for their fourth-lowest Test score after they were skittled for 47 by South Africa in Cape Town.
The tourists had at one point looked like they would fall short of the lowest-ever Test total, held by New Zealand when they managed 26 against England in Auckland in 1954-55.
They only avoided that unenviable record with their last pair at the crease, when Peter Siddle edged Vernon Philander to the third man rope.
Last man Nathan Lyon top-scored with 14, after putting on 26 for the last wicket with Siddle, while debutant Philander took five for 15 for the Proteas.
It continued an enthralling second day's play in which 22 wickets had already fallen with 29 overs still remaining before stumps.
Remarkably, despite their capitulation Australia are still well-placed to win the Test after they dismissed South Africa for 96 earlier in the day.
The tourists therefore held a lead of 235, thanks mainly to skipper Michael Clarke's 151 - an innings that has been made to look remarkable by Thursday's events.
