Steven Smith to Lungi Ngidi
OUT! TIMBER! Steven Smith gets the last wicket! That is that then from this Test! It is a fitting end as a leg-spinner finishes the game for Australia. Smith loops this up above the eye-line of the batter, on leg, Lungi Ngidi goes for the big heave, but plays all around it as the ball turns in from outside leg to rattle the off pole. A ball Shane Warne would have been proud of. Australian players are delighted and the handshakes are going on in the middle. Australia win by an innings and 182 runs to seal the series!
