A stubborn seventh-wicket stand between Ervine and Masakadza only delayed the inevitable
South Africa dominated day three, setting Zimbabwe a daunting target of 537
Williams scored more than half of Zimbabwe's first-innings total but the visitors still took a 167-run lead and ended day two 216 ahead
Bennett looked to pull a short ball from Maphaka but was hit on the helmet via the top edge
All the records that the South Africa batter broke on his Test debut against Zimbabwe
