Australia’s pace bowler Josh Hazlewood has bowled his side to a 214-run ⁠⁠victory over South Africa on the last ⁠⁠day of the first cricket Test match at the Kingsmead Stadium in Durban.

The 35-year-old Hazlewood also removed the last batsman to ensure the victory in the first clash between the teams since South Africa upset Australia in last year’s World Test Championship final at ‌‌Lord’s in London.
