\n DURBAN: <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Josh Hazlewood took six wickets as Australia completed a 214-run win over South Africa on the fifth day of the first Test at Kingsmead on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Fast bowler Hazlewood twice broke promising stands and finished with six for 49.<\/p>\n

The hosts, set 421 runs to win, were bowled out for 206, in the first Test series between the teams in South Africa since the 2018 sandpaper scandal.<\/p>\n

Opening batsman Aiden Markram defied the bowlers for a minute short of six hours, scoring 75 before he was ninth out, caught behind from an inside edge off Mitchell Starc.<\/p>\n

The last four wickets fell for five runs in the space of 16 deliveries against the second new ball.<\/p>\n

Markram and Wiaan Mulder (29) were largely untroubled as they batted through the first 110 minutes of the day.<\/p>\n

But a double bowling change brought two wickets.<\/p>\n

Mulder was caught down the legside by wicketkeeper Alex Carey off Hazlewood for 29 after a 139-minute innings during which he faced 110 balls.<\/p>\n

Man of the match Matt Renshaw came on to bowl his off-spinners in the next over and with his first ball dismissed Kyle Verreynne for a single when the South African wicketkeeper played a forcing shot against a wide ball and edged a catch to Steve Smith at slip.<\/p>\n

It was the continuation of a dream match for Renshaw, who top-scored in both innings with 190 and 82, then took his first Test wicket when he dismissed South African captain Temba Bavuma on Monday.<\/p>\n

It was Smith’s fifth catch of a match in which he became the world record-holder for most catches by a fielder in Tests.<\/p>\n

Smith was back in action after being off the field at the start of South Africa’s innings on Monday following a blow on the head while batting.<\/p>\n

Marco Jansen made 35 and added 45 with Markram before Hazlewood bowled him in the fourth over with the second new ball. Three balls later Simon Harmer gloved a sharply lifting ball to Carey.<\/p>\n

Australia were in trouble at 124 for six on the first day but dominated the rest of the match after Renshaw steered them to a first innings total of 390.<\/p>\n

Former Australia captain Smith, who did not field in Monday’s late session after \u2060a blow to the head while batting, returned to action on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“Steve Smith has undergone a series of clinical assessments over the past 24 hours in accordance with Cricket Australia’s concussion protocols and has been cleared to take the field this morning,” a statement said.<\/p>\n
