South Africa defeated Australia to win the World Test Championship at Lord's.

South Africa were left with 69 runs to chase down on Saturday to collect their first ICC trophy in 27 years.

Their captain Temba Bavuma played on through a hamstring injury he'd sustained the day before, scoring a vital 66 with the bat, although he was an early wicket on Saturday when he edged a delivery from Pat Cummins into the waiting gloves of wicketkeeper Alex Carey.
