Jansen had earlier taken six second-innings wickets to keep the target within reach, before a top-order collapse had South Africa reeling at 19-3. Corbin Bosch and Dane Paterson also chipped in five and six wickets in the game respectively, with Bosch, on debut, also adding a belligerent, unbeaten 81 in the first innings to stretch South Africa’s lead close to three figures. Even if they lose the second Test against Pakistan, their points percentage will drop only to 61.11, out of reach of every other side in the World Test Championship table bar Australia, meaning a top two finish is guaranteed.
