Kagiso Rabada was the star for South Africa with 11-150 helping them to level the series with Australia, but he has now been banned for the rest of the series.
Day four report
A ten-wicket haul from Kagiso Rabada fired South Africa to a six-wicket win over Australia in the second Test in Port Elizabeth to level the series at 1-1.
Rabada claimed his fourth ten-wicket haul in 28 Tests as he took 11-150 overall in the match to prove the difference between the sides.
It came at a cost for South Africa though, as Rabada earned two conduct breaches during the game and was hit with a two-match ban by the ICC to rule him out of the rest of the series.
The fast bowler has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee after being found guilty of deliberately brushing shoulders with Australia skipper Steve Smith while celebrating his dismissal on the opening day.
"Kagiso Rabada has been suspended for South Africa's next two Test matches after being found guilty of a Level 2 ICC Code of Conduct offence of 'inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with a player'," the ICC said in a statement.
"He has received a fine of 50 per cent of his match fee and three demerit points after a disciplinary hearing following his denial of the charge. This means Rabada has accumulated eight demerit points within a 24-month period, automatically leading to a two-match suspension."
The ICC also confirmed Rabada had accepted a second charge of "using language, actions or gestures which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batsman upon his or her dismissal" and was fined a further 15 per cent of his match fee.
Rabada's second charge related to his dismissal of David Warner in Australia's second innings when the bowler screamed in the batsman's face after bowling him out.
Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has also been fined 20 per cent of his match fee after accepting a charge of "using language or (a) gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an international match", the ICC said.
Rabada’s searing spell of 6-54 in the second-innings brought an end to Australia's innings at 239.
That left the hosts chasing just 101 for victory, and AB de Villiers top-scored with 28 as the Proteas knocked off the target despite a brief wobble in losing four wickets.
Australia started the fourth day on 180-5 with a lead of just 41 runs - and could only add 59 more runs amid a tail-end collapse.
Rabada ripped through the remainder of Australia's order to leave South Africa's victory a formality.
Day three report
AB de Villiers hit an unbeaten century to put South Africa on the front foot in Port Elizabeth but resistance from Usman Khawaja ensured Australia remained in the contest.
The 34-year-old helped the Proteas overcome a middle-order wobble with a batting masterclass on the second day to reach 74 not out, and the batsman continued his flawless strokeplay to record his 22nd Test hundred in the morning session.
However, Khawaja hit a patient half-century as Australia recovered from 86 for four to finish at stumps with a 41-run lead, but he was trapped in front for 75 in the penultimate over by Kagiso Rabada to give the hosts the upper hand.
Sky Bet make South Africa 1/10, with the draw 28/1 and Australia 7/1.
De Villiers was ably assisted during his knock of 126 not out by Vernon Philander (36) and Keshav Maharaj (30) in the lower order to frustrate the Australian bowling attack before Pat Cummins (three for 79) and Nathan Lyon (one for 58) combined to skittle out the hosts for 382 at lunch.
Trailing by 139 runs, the tourists lost opener David Warner for 13 when he was clean bowled by Rabada, whose exuberant celebrations could land him in hot water with the International Cricket Council, before Cameron Bancroft (24) followed suit from the bowling of Lungi Ngidi.
Maharaj combined with wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock to claim the wicket of captain Steve Smith for 11 before Shaun Marsh (one) fell to Rabada.
Shaun's brother Mitchell Marsh and Khawaja stopped the rot to share a fifth-wicket stand of 87, but the 22-year-old seamer struck for the third time in the innings to dismiss the dangerman.
Day two report
AB de Villiers produced a counter-attacking masterclass to edge South Africa ahead in the second Test against Australia in Port Elizabeth.
The Proteas were wobbling at 183 for six after losing a clatter of wickets but De Villiers went to stumps unbeaten on 74 from 81 balls as the hosts closed on 263 for seven with a lead of 20.
South Africa lost nightwatchman Kagiso Rabada (29) early on day two before Dean Elgar (57) and Hashim Amla (56) blunted Australia's potent attack.
The tourists had a double opening when both batsmen were dismissed with the score on 155 and made further inroads to raise hopes of a first-innings advantage.
But De Villiers took the fight back to Australia with 14 boundaries and will resume alongside Vernon Philander (14) on Sunday morning aiming to push South Africa beyond 300.
Sky Bet make South Africa 8/15, with the draw 9/1 and Australia 2/1.
Day one report
Kagiso Rabada's devastating spell ripped through Australia's middle-order as South Africa bowled out the tourists on the opening day of the second Test.
Rabada claimed four wickets in seven deliveries and narrowly missed out on a hat-trick as his five for 96 helped dismiss the tourists for 243.
He then hit 17 not out in his role as nightwatchman as the hosts reached stumps on 39 for one in Port Elizabeth.
South Africa are odds-on at 8/13 with Sky Bet to win the second Test.
Australia can be backed for the victory at 13/8 and the draw is on offer at 12/1.
Rabada struggled for fluency during the morning session as Australia looked comfortable on 161 for three, but he hit back to grab the wickets of captain Steve Smith (25) and Shaun Marsh (24) before ousting Mitchell Marsh with the last ball of the afternoon.
Rabada snared Pat Cummins for a golden duck with the first ball after tea to set up a hat-trick ball but Mitchell Starc managed to keep the low full-toss out. But he was soon clean bowled to become the South African quick's fifth victim in the space of 18 balls.
Australia opener David Warner (63), who was fined 75 per cent of his match fee for the first Test following an altercation outside the dressing rooms with Quinton de Kock, was the only visiting player to reach 40.
He posted his 29th Test half-century before being bowled by Lungi Ngidi, and Rabada then took charge with his eighth five-for of his Test career helping South Africa take the last seven Australia wickets in just 17.3 overs.
