The story, neutrally told

Centre · 2Australia beat South Africa by 214 runs on the last day of the first Test at Kingsmead in Durban on Tuesday 13 October, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Centre · 2South Africa were bowled out for 206 before tea, chasing a target of 421 after Australia declared their second innings at 314-6 with a first-innings lead of 106. Centre · 1Paceman Josh Hazlewood, 35, finished with 6-49, having taken two wickets on Monday. He bowled Marco Jansen for 35, and three balls later Simon Harmer was out edging to wicketkeeper Alex Carey. He also took the last wicket, when Anrich Nortje was caught at short midwicket by Nathan Lyon.

Centre · 1South Africa began the day at 102-4 and held out for the first 110 minutes. Wiaan Mulder (29) and Aiden Markram extended their fifth-wicket stand to 69 off 205 balls before Mulder edged a Hazlewood legside delivery to a diving Carey. Centre · 1Part-time spinner Matt Renshaw then took his second Test wicket, Kyle Verreynne, caught at slip by Steve Smith without scoring after what CNA called a reckless shot. South Africa were 166-6 at lunch. Centre · 1Markram was dismissed for 75 off 237 balls, edging Mitch Starc behind, and was given out only after a television review.

Centre · 2Renshaw was Australia's batting star, scoring 190 in the first innings and 82 off 99 balls in the second. Gulf News said his aggressive second-innings knock gave Australia the platform to declare. Centre · 1Steve Smith did not field in Monday's late session after a blow to the head while batting. A statement said he had undergone a series of clinical assessments under Cricket Australia's concussion protocols and was cleared to take the field on Tuesday. Centre · 2It was the first meeting between the sides since South Africa beat Australia in last year's World Test Championship final at Lord's. Gulf News reported it as Temba Bavuma's first defeat as South Africa's Test captain, after 11 wins and one draw. The second Test begins at St George's Park, Gqeberha, on 18 October.
