3.55 pm: South Africa have pulled off the second-highest run chase in Test history. Duminy and de Villiers are hugged by their team mates as they leave the ground. It's been a stupendous effort, beating Australia in Perth, chasing 413. They did it with six wickets in hand, Smith finally shows emotion and celebrates in the dressing room.

Smith led from the front with a gritty hundred, despite having some discomfort with his elbow. Amla and Kallis made useful contributions and the job was finished by de Villiers and Duminy. It was a comprehensive performance which blunted the Australian attack. Johnson apart, none of the other bowlers consistently troubled the batsmen.

Nine of the 25 highest run-chases have come after 2000. The most recent being India's 387 for 4 against England in Chennai.

Graeme Smith's fourth-innings average is third on the all-time list, next only to Boycott and Gavaskar. And his three centuries have all been in wins. Also check this link out, the highest fourth-innings averages in victories. Ponting and Smith are right up there and they are the only batsmen with three centuries.

AB de Villiers is the Man of the Match, beating the competition from Smith and Johnson. He scored 63 in the first innings, 106 not out in the second, took four catches (three of which were outstanding) and saved lots of runs at point and gully.

Right so South Africa are 1-0 up in the series. The next Test begins on Boxing Day in Melbourne. See you then!
