Parnell (29 no) and Theron (31 no) put on an unbeaten 64 for the eighth wicket off just 27 balls to level a series.

Australia's youth brigade took their side to the brink of victory but in the end a lack of experience proved costly to the tourists.

Brief Scores: South Africa 148 for 7 (Botha 34, Theron 30*) beat Australia 147 for 8 (White 39, M Marsh 36, Tsotsobe 2-11).
