Pakistan crumbled inside two hours to lose the third Test against South Africa by 107 runs with a day to spare and slump to a 3-0 series defeat.

Resuming on 153 for three the tourists were dismissed just after midday in Johannesburg having lost seven wickets for 120 runs, displaying none of the application required for the match situation.

Duanne Olivier set the tone by removing Babar Azam and Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed in successive balls with just nine added to the overnight score .

Shadab Khan made an unbeaten 47 off 66 balls with seven fours but Pakistan's shambolic approach was typified by the conclusion of the match when a mix-up saw Mohammad Abbas sent back attempting a risky single and was run out.

Olivier and Kagiso Rabada both claimed three wickets apiece, with Dale Steyn finishing with two and Vernon Philander taking the other as Pakistan were dismissed for 273.

The series victory saw South Africa move ahead of England and New Zealand to second in the ICC Test rankings, with Pakistan slipping to seventh.
