South Africa won the toss and elected to field. At the end of the first day, Australia had made 214 for the loss of 8 wickets, with South African bowler Dale Steyn picking up 4 wickets for 31 runs.[4] On the second day, Australia were eventually dismissed for 284, with Michael Clarke equalling his third highest Test score with 151.[5] Batting second, South Africa were dismissed for just 96 runs, with Australian all-rounder Shane Watson taking five wickets for 17 runs in five overs.[5] In their second innings, Australia were reduced to 13–3 by tea on the second day.

This was their fourth lowest Test score and their lowest total for 109 years.[5][6][7] Debutant Vernon Philander finished with figures of 5–15 from seven overs. On the third day, Graeme Smith and Hashim Amla both reached centuries to help South Africa to an 8-wicket victory.[8]
