South Africa seal ODI series against Australia
South Africa beat Australia by 32 runs in the second one-day international in Johannesburg to clinch the three-match series with a game remaining. Temba Bavuma and David Miller scored centuries before South Africa's spinners checked Australia's chase. Nathan Ellis suffered a side injury and bowled only four overs, weakening the visiting attack.
Why it matters
The win gives South Africa the series and underlines Australia's continuing middle-order difficulties.
