South Africa took an unassailable two-nil lead in the series when they beat Pakistan in the second Test here on Sunday.

Having already won the first Test in Centurion‚ victory here means the final Test at the Wanderers starting on Friday is now a dead rubber.

South Africa won the second Test by nine wickets just 47 minutes into the fourth day.
