Renshaw was the centrepiece of Australia's success, contributing a towering century and a strong follow-up innings to put his side in an unassailable position across both innings. His consistency with the bat proved the foundation upon which Australia built their winning total.
South Africa were ultimately unable to mount a sufficient response in either innings, falling 214 runs short as Hazlewood took the final wicket to seal the result and hand Australia a strong first-Test lead in the series.
