South Africa vs Australia 1st Test: Day 5 Wrap 'Hazlewood Destroys SA'

Australia has made a huge statement in Durban, winning the first Test against South Africa by 214 runs to take a 1nil series lead.

Menners reviews the key moments, assesses Australia's turnaround after a shaky start, looks at South Africa's struggles and considers what the victory means for the rest of the series.
