Video highlights: South Africa rout Australia to clinch Test series win

Australia's nightmare start to the summer continues after South Africa romped to a second Test win by an innings and 80 runs to clinch the three match series 2-0.

It marks the Proteas' third consecutive Test series win on Australian soil and sends the hosts to their fifth straight Test defeat.

The fast bowling combination of Kyle Abbott and Kagiso Rabada proved too much for the struggling Australians, who capitulated for a total of 161 after beginning the fourth day on 2/121.

Abbott finished with figures of 6/77 filling in for the injured Dale Steyn, while Rabada snared 4/34.

The third Test starts in Adelaide on Thursday November 24.
